I own an SRT-4. I've seen the EVO interior about 10 times now. In terms of quality, they are both crappy as hell. The neon has worse quality plastic though not by much.

The EVO interior is CRAP (and the neon interior even a little crappier than that). There is no reason why you should think otherwise.

I love how people like you just think the Japanese have better interiors just because they are Japanese. They are not magical. The GTO interior is about 1000x better than the EVO. There really is no comparison. Not only that, but the car isn't even American. It's made in Australia. Please stop spewing ignorance.

Actually there is something i heard about something the ECU does with the compression or something that lowers it somehow. People have boosted LS2's and are fine up to like 8-9 psi i believe.

Either way, if i could get 500whp N/A i would

And yes, i would only get the LS2 2005 GTO.

I dont see how the ECU could lower the compression of the motor...8-9psi is pushing it. On a normal C5 (10.0:1) the safe limit of the stock (internally) motor is about 8 psi, on a Z06 (10.5:1) it's about 6 psi. The LS2 is 10.9:1 so I wouldnt try running more than 6 psi on that thing without at least a thicker headgasket to lower the compression.

In my opinion, a nice heads/cam package would make most people happy for a goood long while. When you get used to the power, stroke it.

Hypnoz, I went on a little joyride in the EVO during lunch and saw a beautiful GTO, that kind of blue/purple color. What color are you looking at? I was stuck on Red if I was getting one.

Hypnoz

Yeah it didnt make much sense to me either, but i saw somewhere someone running 8-9 psi from a SC.

Even at 5 psi though you're looking at awesome whp....

I really want black with red interior. If not then i would go dark blue w/black interior, or maybe even the grayish blue color. Definitely not yellow, silver, or light blue.

so why look for a RS ? why not a GSR or MR?

expensive brake pads? well i pay 150 for front and rear pads.... and tires about 400 bucks. that is not expensive. unless you one of those that takes the car to the dealer and say " here guys change my fluids and tires while you at it cahnge my pads".. ofcourse its going to be expansive! they will give you a new hole!lol...

but hey dood listen this is my own two cent take it for what its worth..... i`m not here to fight with you.. for a reason you here in this forums....

Ps: no this is not my first car . i probably had more cars then you and your dad together.. i get bored with cars fast , but the evo on the other hand its one of the cars that gives me joy everytime i drive it.
