^^ Ahh, snake that FP Red sounds so sexy :tup:

FYI OP, you're not going to have fun driving on the stock summer tires that come on the Evo... they'll put you in a bad situation real quick.

i drove my evo with the stock advans in the snow when i got back from afghanistan. Never had any issues. But then again, never got into a situation that required really good tires (ie slamming on the brakes or swurving). But they still did a good job going through a foot of snow..lol. Once i get the car on the road ill be getting Nokian Studded tires for the winter.

This wouldn't be a bad idea except for the fact that it's highly underpowered for it's weight and it only comes in automatic.

I've owned RWD cars almost exclusivley except for my previous 06 WRX; I much prefer AWD. I've honestly been waiting for someone to make a good 40k or less AWD car. I've considered the new STI but in my opinion it's underpowered for the price. Doesn't make sense to me to pay 37k for a car that only has 305hp. Plus I'm not 100% sold on the larger body and look of the current STI vs. the previous smaller styles. Give me a G37X with a manual tranny and some sort of FI V6 and I'm sold.

Save yourself the headache and loss of money on a trade and get the Blizzaks. My Z is my DD in Minnesota and I have zero issues in the snow.

its not a sexZ. but it do have that mean look to it. thats why i prefer the X. way cheaper parts also.

sti are good. but i seen about 10 in my area. only one 370z and a bunch of 350z. no evos. you know that feeling when you have like the only car in your area. :driving:

im going to miss the neck breaks i get when im driving the z tho.

Wicked White is the best color IMO. Looks good man, good luck.

Your right ...

Now your gonna be gettin' :bowrofl: :inoutroflpuke: :roflpuke2: :owned: when people see ya

So ... let me show ya to the door to your NEW home :
Mitsubishi Evolution X Forum : Evo X Forums :hello:

Personally I can't decide which is better between the Red and Blue they come in... Both are sick. It would literally come down to a coin flip for me.. I think in the end though I'd prolly go with the blue... Matte black accents/CF/Black wheels :yum:

Mine was the red color (Rally Red). It was ok, it was more of a maroon than red.




That blue one is Ryan Gates's Time Attack Evo...

Yes, that's why I liked the Red, it wasn't as bright, it was a darker "meaner" red. :tup:


And that AMS car is straight :yum:

Nice lancer!

I heard that "compliment" quite a bit

You sign where you need to sign, scan/fax/mail the necessary papers to your dad, have him sign where he needs to sign, have him scan/fax/mail papers back to you. Done.

Oh oops you already got it!
Nice color, if I could have chose a different color for the Evo I had I would get white for sure. You really need to try driving that car on packed snow, will probably be the most fun you've had in awhile. (With snow tires of course - get a dedicated wheel/tire set if you can)

if he wouldve done that to start with the Z, then he wouldnt have needed to trade it anyways. anyways with all that room now, can you go pick me up a dining table set and a bed frame from ikea? k thanks!

WOW. this is BS. the one i wanted is sold. i didnt know there was a aero kit for evos.:icon14:

below is the one i wanted(sold) this was also 28k, 16k miles

below is the one that is available 29k, 13k miles

whats up with that chrome side mirror(ugly)
http://sitespecific.dealerskins.com/...2125629_md.jpg

guess it wasnt meant to be. unless i settle for the bottom one.

Ok, now just forget about it because it wasn't meant to be, get snow tires which will make a ton of difference. RWD are very capable when you know what you're doing.

The only difference is the body kit (tall spoiler, side skirts and lip). I ended up removing my spoiler and didn't care much for the front lip. Plus, there are a ton of aftermarket lips available. The top one was debadged anyway. They probably modded it lol.

most likely but OMG! that front lip is disgusting.....Why oh my lord why.....? Plus, 1k is really your deal breaker? an extra $20/mth? Oh well, looks like you're stuck with your crappy Z.:stirthepot:

Yea im not a fan of the aero kit that comes with some of the evo's. I have the Varis Lip on my evo...

Dam that's brutally ugly

My car or the oem aero kit?

Had a similar issue when i bought my z. As long as his name is not on the registration or title, he shouldnt need to sign anything.

its been along time. but i finally got the x. just in time for the snow storm :D

The Evo is crazy fun. Enjoy it. I wish i can own both. How much did u pay?

:icon18: Say whu? Calling the Evo a boy racer car then heralding the STi as if it looks better. While looks are subjective, the STi's up to the most recent version look like $hit. Great car, fugly as hell. Evo's have always been better looking IMO.

That aside, the Evo is far from a downgrade. It's a fantastic car and has been a dominant car on the track over the years for a reason. Of all the cars I've owned, my Evo 8 had the best steering feedback and confidence inspiring handling. It was very easy to drive hard and could be modded very easily with little money. None of this is a reason the OP is giving for the change and I wouldn't trade mine for an Evo being in SoCal. But I loved AWD for those crappy days of weather. So being in Ohio, I see this as a smart move. Other than losing your a$$ financially.

Congrats on the Evo. You will have a blast in it.

Don't give up so soon
 

Well sorry you feel the need for a trade. I'd try the tires first to see the difference before you do a drastic deal as in trading in you ride. So if you do go for the trade just dont settle on one car because you want it. Take your time and get the best deal you can, I got my baby for $25K

yea OP wasted a lot of money when the only issues was tires.

IMO, the front grill reminds of Yosemite's mustache, just my opinion.

Congratz man!:tiphat: I wish I could own an evo along with my z. Maybe one day... And nice color too! White and blue are the best color for evo IMHO.

Our Z's look like a catfish... Just the general public opinion.:tup:



https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/i...r_VdEIqH-c_9mb

but i still like both the z and Evo.:tiphat:

Lookwise I love both new Evo and Sti(hatch not sedan). I used to fight myself so bad on getting an evo x or new sti. Still not sure. So I got Xttera instead for a completely different purpose.:icon17: But I know in the future, this Evo or Sti thing will come back to me again. Lol.

actually those were my choices STI, EVO and Z

STI was underpowered, and no auto option test drove and nice drive though.

EVO not bad looking, underpowered, but limited dealer presence in my area, and the salesmans i did talked to seemed not interested in my business.

Z great deal on price, good power, great styling, deal closer was the saleeman, no BS and worked the deal i wanted.

that said they are all great rides, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, Good Luck!!:tiphat:

Evo underpowered? Only if you're doing over 110mph all the time. I did 90mph on a donut highway exit in a evo with ease. I do the same maneuver at 65 mph in my Z with difficulty. They're different cars designed for different reasons. I myself appreciate ALL the Evo's features in spite of it's shytty interior. It's a true sports entry and have just as much respect for it as I have the Z, the STi, camaro, mustang, Evo, gencoupe, corvette, cayman, boxster, 911 and GT-R etc...

I love sports cars man. They all have their positives and negatives. For every negative, I can emphasize a positive and vice versa on ALL MODELS... It's all based on your needs and applications how it will swing for you in your decisions..

Drive safe and enjoy:tiphat:

I had an Evo 8 too and I have to agree with the steering feed back and handling, honestly it felt better than my 2012 z in handling and steering feedback. The z is just a better overall car

:iagree:Definitely as a DD, overall quality, overall power, handling and daily liveability. The Z has way more advantages. As a sports car. It just all depends on what you like to do as a sport in your car. :tup:

overall, im lovin this X right now. beside the interior :( how do you go from push to start to turn to start. no xm/navi/backup cam/heated seat/rear mirrors dont even have the dim thing where people cant high beam you. inside just looks like a 90's car with recaro seats. lmfao.

i bought the x for 29k they bought my z for 28k

total i lost 7k.

yikers

Yeah 7k is a lot for what you gave up but if at the end of the day you're happy more power to ya!
