I love evos but I was really disappointed the first time I drove an EVO X......it was so big and heavy. Not as aggressive as my ss/TC and it only has the GMS1......even the AWD launch was a let down

soobies, though...

Even the STI I drove was a let down......I was expecting a huge AWD launch but it really didn't blow my mind like I thought......I give GM props for really making the SS/TC hardcore

[QUOTE=CudaJoe;6171521

And for those that say, run a turbo swapped one!!!! I ran a turbo swapped wrx with all the appropriate supporting mods making 350awhp and 360trq. I beat him by a car length with me having stock turbo, stock motor, a few bolt ons and a tune.[/QUOTE]

to spend that much money and actually swap a turbo and only make 350 must be disappointing

I guess it is hard lol. I'm in Yonkers, about 10 miles north of Manhattan. Just I never paid attention for E85, I will start looking for it now.

you can always just get the stage 1 for now and then when the time comes buy everything at once and get it all done at once. saves money and time. thats what im in the process of doing. bought 90% of what i need. all i need now is a clutch and intercooler and im set.

ok since no one else mentioned it if you are going to mod your car just hang the warranty up, you just can't have it both ways. Basically any part that's not factory gm dealers are gonna find any reason to not fix your car so its not even worth the headache unless you found a mod-friendly dealer, but i mean our cars aren't really that unreliable, i seem to be in the minority of problems with the LNF motor and thats expected with any car, but if you are gonna mod i would say collect the bolt ons then install them right before getting tuned, our cars have learn-down so its like wasting your money you aren't reaching the full potential and thats the entire point of modding
