First time testing driving Evo

I currently drive a 350z and its a nice car, but after reading the forums and the mags about the Evo, and actually test driving it.. all i have to say is OMG. So much faster, and the handling is amazing, and u have your mother is the back seat and smoke so many cars, and the turbo ( first time driving a turbo and AWD car). Im gonna trade that Z in for that Evo IX. best performing car for the money.
i cant wait to start modding it also.

i feel you bro. the first time i drove the evo....i made a long assed thread on this forum about it. every night for the week after the day i drove the evo (10/19/2005) i had dreams about the turbo spooling, or the car taking corners like it's going straight, or shifting the crisp 5spd shifter. i was going to execute my long planned list of mods to my integra, but after that drive it was over.

i'm still working my *** off for the evo, dang it why can't i just be like you and transfer to the Evo right after i drove it >_<

the evo is seriously one hell of a car. this is one of those nights, where i'm depressed because i saw someone else on the street driving an Evo, and i got reminded that i dont drive one yet. sh*t.
