99 VR4 vs EVO IX
I have a black 99 3000GT VR4 and I'm extremely tempted to sell it to buy an Electric Blue EVO IX. I fell in love with my VR4 and all I need is some convincing comments for me to let it go to join you guys.
VR4
Pros:
Exotic and Extremely Rare! Only around 200 produced in the US.
Sexier and catches a lot more attention. (In my opinion)
Leather Seats and Comfortable ride.
Has only 40k miles on it and holds its value for a Mitsubishi.
Cons:
Scarce aftermarket support.
Doesn't handle as well as an EVO.
Potential Maintenance may be costy
What do you guys think? Give me some insight!

evo has more potential, i personally dont like the way 3000gts looks, i know lots of people do, but i dislike it. awd, 4g63, aftermarket support, ease of tuning evos. ix will hold value well because its the last of the true evos in the usa at least

Agreed. The IX is the ****. IMO the X is garbage body wise. Plus, this is a Pro evo forum... wut did you expect us to say? Go with the Evo bud! Either way, enjoy.

It kind of looks like obese NSX that is bloated in every corner.
It isn't too fun hurling a 4000lbs car around corners.
It was called GTO in Japan and the rest of Asia, never was popular, even the front wheel drive FTO was more popular.
