I had 96 LT1 Formula, 96 Cobra, I used to own 2 DSM's in between, so i knew evo will be nothing new to me when i get one, I love v8 plant but the weather/winter sucks! and i went with evo so i can have all season fun car, 4 door.

As far haters? I just ignore it.

I didn't make a direct switch, but used to own a 78 Camaro Z28 w/a 327 vette engine.

My dad has had dozens of fast cars, my uncles, even more. My dad drove the Evo one day, and had to change his under garments (figure of speach)

I had an 04 Silverado with a 5.3 litre V8, dumped flowmaster, intake, 1.5 LS, etc... It was a beast and loud like you wouldn't believe. I smoked many lesser vehicles. But an Evo was always my dream car, and I traded my truck in for her. Once in awhile I miss the rumble of that V8, but it's nice to have a car that would smoke it and get a lot more than 10 miles to the gallon. hehe

A Mustang 00 GT and 01 Z28 I was about to get an 03 Cobra, but after test driving it It just wasn't as fun as the Evo. Infact neither of the cars were as fun.
