First EVO sighting I thought "I could see myself driving that but..."
I had a 99GSX that I'd dumped a gob of $ into it and liked it to.
Fast forward 7 years and some drunk totaled my GSX, so the next logical progression was to purchase the LAST 4g63 IMO. Its so amazing how much Mitsu progressed every aspect of that car, the EVO IXs. My eclipse would have taken more $ than I spent on the EVO to even come close to that performance. I still love the looks of the 2gb eclipse though and may have to pick up another someday, to go along with the EVO that is!

 

I Creamed my pants.

 

Evo X, I thought....damn how much does that puppy weigh!

 

The first time i ever heard of an evo was when fast and the furious 2 came out lol

 

my first thought (back in 03-before i became a gearhead);

wtf is that? rice tails.

then he hit it from the stoplight...holy ****.

 

+1!! brians evo 7 in the movie is nice but my love for the evo really began with tokyo drift (even though drifting is not evos speciality)

first time i saw an evo i though wtf that was!

 

LMAO!! my buddy bought a 2003 evo 8 in 05 and i had an STi at the time. and road in it and drove it then 4 months later sold my STI for a 06 evo 9 mr! bahahaha all my STi buddies were pissed

 

I thought to myself damn that wing is HUGGGEE!!

 

First time I ever heard about an EVO was in a 2003 Road and Track EVO VS STi comparison article.. I was just astonished at the performance. First time I had EVER seen on in person was in late 2004, pulled up to a stop light (mind this is my first 500 feet of test driving an 04 SRT-4 lol) Few blips of the throttle and you can figure out what happened next
I ended up buying the SRT-4 because it was all that I could afford at the time. 2 years later took an 04 EVO for a spin at an auto x. 2 months later I bought my first EVO VIII, from that moment on it was just hook line and sinker. Now I'm on my second EVO and still to this day brings a smile to my face every time I look at the car.

 

Driving home from school in 06 seeing the IX my jaw dropped and I've been hooked ever since.

 

I always wanted one then I turned around and brought one. I thought about it for a long time and finally now I have one never told a soul about it though for fear of jealousy.

 

totally agree with ya man the 10s have grown on me but im still all for the body of a 8 or 9!!!!

 

First time i saw one was at the mitsu dealer when they first came out, i went there to go stare at it, and that reason only lol, the salesman was cool he let me sit in and start it up, but i was a broke 18yr old so i drove home in the 1G GST i drove there in lol. fast forward 6 years i bought my first evo last october with my deployment money, going from my mustang GT to that was night and day lol

 

jizzed in my pants when I saw it finally came stateside as the Evo 8. That happened on a daily basis when I got my 9. When I look at the X there are a few nostalgic pieces like the large spoiler which get me fired up in the same way. But, it's the driving experience that this car is all about.

 

First one I owned was an EVO VII GT-A. It was more beautiful than my EVO VIII by far but unfortunately haad to sell it before I left Japan. I still love my EVO VIII but my love is for the GT-A.
