i don't have an evo...and i don't have a porsche...
but what other cars are you looking at? it sounds like you would be happy with a chrysler 300 hemi. honestly, it sounds like comparing caddy to merc. you get more for your money with caddy, better performance, but more depreciation. with the merc, you are getting the name and the prestigue. (sp?) what do you want? my assumption would be that everytime i drive the evo, i'd be thinking, "man, i'm getting into a mitsu, not a porsche." but when you smoke the porsche with your evo...
sorry if not much help.
btw, i'd kill for either!

Gotta love trolls.
But seriously. I absolutely LOVE my EVO but ...depending on what you want, as far as looks and style..... The porsche is king. As far as sheer performance and mod ability? The EVO... I reccommend you to make a matrix of pro's and con's based on a weighted scale and make your decision that way. And yes you can even include the STI in there if you like.....

like other dudes looking at u, no girls will ever notice
never driven any other Mitsu products (will spoil it)
like rental car type interior
like other dudes looking at u

Keep your Porsche If you:
opposite of everything above.

1999, 911 Carrera 2 owner here. It's been serving me as my only car which I only use on weekends. Live in NYC, use subway to work. For a while I've been eyeing on an Evo as a replacement.
Key factors I like on evo-
Performance
AWD (when it snows)
Trunk
Rear passenger space
Econobox stealth looks (when dewinged, which I intend- lets me park wherever, go to poor neighborhoods unnoticed)
Cons-
Need winter tires (when it snows, which I have no storage space living in NYC, may have to go all seasons)
Econobox looks / Chick appeal (definitely not as beautiful)
Suspension/Ride? (read it is rough, any evo owners driven a 911? I'm not sure until I try it. NYC potholes can be rough)
Depreciation (a New evo is definitely going to depreciate a whole lot more than my 99 C2, which I bought used last year, may consider buying a used Evo to fight depreciation)
Evo owners, convince me why I should get rid of the 911.

However I love my Evo. It is faster in a straight line than my 993 was and it is more suited to my lifestyle as it has 4 doors. It acquits itself nicely around the track and on some tracks is even faster than the 993. It is fun to drive, communicates nicely -- especially for a 4wd car.
One of the primary things I enjoy with the Evo over the 993 is the ability to mod. When I sense that I am getting bored with the Evo I add some parts and renew my interest. The modifications you can buy are relatively cost effect and seem to have a pronounced effect on performance. With the Porsche it would break the bank even thinking about mods.
If you can get past the image change from the 911 to the Evo then you will be happy.
Good luck,

If you aren't going to add any value to this post, go start your own. No need to insult each other like school boys.
Edit: and I would add that you should check out the STi as well. They are both great cars and represent the best performance value on the market.

just get a good set of all season tires and you'll be fine for winter or whatever (I'd go with Continentals, but that's just me). Plus, the evo will SMOKE a carrera with but a small amount of $$$.
