VIII vs IX, IX vs VIII ,MR vs VIII, i like um all and every model thats the whole point of buying an evo anyway.They all can be fast cars,every time i go out and cruise, people are hoping to get a chance to beat any evo they can,if you win against an evo lots of people consider that a big victory,if they can win, evos will always terrorize the crowd.

I know I am happy with my 8....... I don't plan on racing a 9 unless I'm at the track and trust me, I am sure there will be plenty other cars there that aren't EVOS and are fast! Honestly, I think it boils down to who has deeper pockets. I mean an evo 9 will cost, unless you have it like that cash wise. A decently used Evo 8 sells for 23k around Maryland in which appeals to me since I dislike having big car notes for 5 yrs or more.......either way they both are badass cars!
PS.... I'm cool with not being the fastest.

I LOVED MY EVO 8!!! I will never trade my 8 for a 9 like some of you fools
Mods the **** out of an 8 then trade it in for a 9
50 to 60 years from today people are going to remember the 1st Evolution from Mitsubishi......03 evo8 with hid with sunroof with blue seats (not that black crap) without ACD with out v-timing....yes the 1st evo to the USA just like the T-bird or the 1st Mustang or the 1st M1 BMW or 914
PS: so some of you 9 is alil faster then me....big deal I LOVED MY EVO 8!!!

I was just happy getting an Evolution period. Remember that time when wrx's ran through our US streets rampant w/o its true rival in sight? I would've taken any evo (1-7)v. the ****ty mirages and lancers they had over here...I'd still take a VI over any evos out now...be happy w/ what you got - spoiled americans

Don't tell me that cost doesn't play a role in most people's decision when buying. I can tell you that if money were no object, I wouldn't be driving an EVO.
