For that price it would be salvage, high miles, beat, and kid owned. Or a combination of multiple.

S2000's are actually gaining in price for good examples...probably due to the above.

I have only just gotten an Evo and it's stock, but so far it doesnt make me want to drive aggressively. It also sounds like any lame 4 cylinder. Any time I get in my S2000 I want to rip. My S2000 also sounds awesome as hell, which is something you will never be able to about an Evo that isn't full tilt built.

you own a stock Evo, but you make this statement?

That doesn't mean I haven't been around modded ones. Turbo inline 4 with low redlines all sound flat and blatty until they have cams and 3.5 exhausts and alot more. Anything from 4g63 to sr20 to srt4 to boosted low redline Honda such as a B18B or sohc. Has nothing to do with mine being stock.

7600 is a low red line? Evo's sound great, even with just an exhaust. Honda's sound terrible, I can't stand the noise they make.

Agreed. It may change your mind about owning an Evo.

I agree that Hondas sound great at 8200-9000RPM, unless straight-piped.
My Evo sounds decent at full-tilt...but my idle and low RPM sound like a John Deer tractor, IMO LOL.

The AP1 screams @ 9k RPM. Very addicting!
Since Hondas only make power up top and rev so high, its tempting to drive around like that all the time.

I love the power of the evo just the x feels so big and heavy.
My last car was a turbo ITR. Holy crap, what a responsive, quick revving car.

You need to put cams in your Evo. It really wakes the motor up..

I have a pretty mild 264. Trying to keep my power band to the left/middle.
May try an S1 or even an S2, now that I'm on a smaller turbo and spool would probably still be decent.
Then there's the cheap Cossies in the classified section....LOL

if you're gonna claim this doesn't sound good you're just a hater with no rhyme or reason (very common when it comes to honda's)

its just orgasmic on the over rev / between shifts...
