I heard #4 was good for 8 - 10 Horsepower over the Evo8.

On vortex? What does that have to do with the Search button? Is that some alternative web browser?

You click the "search" button, then type in your search parameters: "Evo IX" "Evo IX changes" "EVO IX new" etc etc.

Believe me, this is not hating. It's far from it, I can assure you. I gave you different search parameters to try, but it's not even important now, because I already told you the differences in the 2 versions. Or, at least, I told you the differences between the 05 and the 06. Not all VIII's are the same...

Hey, Warrtalon the USDM has a Magnesium turbo? I thought that was for the JDM. That is a new one for me if that is true.

If I was in the market right now, I would defintely be looking to steal one of the last '05s rather than pay a premium for the IX. I could be wrong, but just don't think the changes are worth it.

Yeah if you get the 05 for like 5 grand less, then just get painted tail lights (I heard smoked is gay and for american cars but i'm not the expert, but i like smoked anyways =P) and get a flash it would be better than the 9outside and preformance, interior you might like more on the new one but you can just get the SSL and then the seats are great
