Any bored with their Evos yet?

Although I love my car, I think i'm ready to move on. Good times but I'm ready for something new. Any of you feel the same?

If youve donw 5 track days in the EVO and havent figured out that you are at or near the automotive equivilant of perfection I dont know what to tell you. Let me tell you if you cant have fun in the EVO you cant have fun in a ferrari either.I hear the new Oddyseys are nice What more can you want and how much more can you afford?

I hear ya. I guess it's like eating Peter Luger's Steak. It's supposedly the best steak in the country. I've had it and you know what? It's great and I haven't found another steakhouse that can beat it. According to Zagat I probably won't find a better steakhouse but I still want to try others.

you couldn't have put it any better. The Evo is dam near perfect. The only other cars that will come close (when it comes to handling) is the skyline R34, the GT2 or maybe a viper ACR. All of witch are more than double the price of the Evo.

If you are bored with your Evo, it's time to play with the OZ!
Hey....why not we exchange for a little bit?

Seriously, if you're getting bored with your Evo, I bet you get bored with a lot of things. If that's true, buying another piece of equipment won't help. As they said in the movie Disclosure: Solve the problem (hint: it ain't the car).

Bored with my EVO? HELL NO!

If I could afford to, I would buy another EVO right now!

If you're bored with your EVO, get it DynoFlashed. I did 2 weeks ago and wow! I feel like I'm driving a brand new EVO iX. The car now has alot more torque and I smoke anything on the road. I even went up against a 2003 SVT Cobra and beat it. The driver of the Cobra was convinced that I was spraying N2O so to prove him wrong, I pulled over to a gas station, I guess he wanted to save face because his girlfriend was with him. Well after a thorough inspection and no NOS, he gave the EVOs props and went on his way.

Sounds like it's time for some additional power mods. The top end takes away from the fun a little. With engine mangement, you can pick up a ton of hp up top and it's like another car!

N10S got sick of his. I think he had if for 7 mos and 11k miles and traded it in for a rubicon jeep. He, like you seem to be, is a car freak though, and really goes through cars. Scary thing was the trade in value, $21,500.

It's a fun mobile. I think it's a combination of the snow, Mitsu no longer using the Evo as a rally car and that damn stiff suspension breakin my back.
