gsx or evo?

[danameisoj125]

well heres my dilema. right now my srt-4 is running 12's the way it sits in my driveway and is my daily driver.

but im getting sick of high powered fwd. second gear is useless and im barking 3rd hard.

its just no fun.

so ive decided on selling my car and going with something awd. i use to have a gs-t and loved my dsm. so i was thinking of coming back but with awd instead.

now the prices of used evo's is sitting at about 25k. the evos are great cars but the price is hard becuase i can no longer do financing .

so i was thinking of getting a 2gb gsx and modding it out so it can run low 12's to possbile mid/high 11's.

the gsx seems much more practicle to purchase no matter how much more advanced the evo is. lower on insurance and has just about the same capabilities as the evo with proper modification and in the right hands.

has anyone else come to this reasoning and have decided?

any imput and advice would be greatly apprecited

I don't think you'll want to get the EVO VIII. If I were going to get an EVO I'll wait for the X. It looks a hell lot sexier. It's gonna make some evo owners cry when it comes (which is in the next couple of years i believe)

I was test driving eclipse sypders todaya nd the guy told me Evo X will be out in around 4 months.

It's certainly possible he was wrong. Thats just what he said.

Yea, what are you talking about? Any engine will walk on you. 7 bolts are just a bit worse, but not much more than like 10% I would say.

where did you get this "10%" statistic? i just found out that the Evo8s have the 7-bolt, but its obviously better built so they don't experience the same issues DSMs do.

I would go with a gsx, hell you are really stuck on the 2g but take a look at a 1g, they can still be crazy baddass!
