My first Evo 9

Just bought an Evo 9 and love it so far! I had an Evo x but sold it. I got it for a pretty good deal.

Yea it's a lot quicker than the x for same mods. I'm going to look into upgrading my turbo.

I had an Evo X and picked up my Evo 9 after selling the X.

Evo 9 all the way! I do miss the fast key, nav and the fosgate system though.

I was never a fan of the look of the X but have always loved the 8/9. Coming from an SRT-4 and Cummins this was a huge upgrade

I'd say IX's are my favorite, but I would still love a IV,V, or VI...

Congrats on the purchase. Love hearing about X owners moving into(or back into) IX's.

<----fellow IX owner. My favorite gen for sure. I'd love a VII though if they were available in LHD.

I had a 6.5 and I did not like it. The 4-6 interior is too small for my liking. The transfercase is fragile and body parts cost an arm and a leg to acquire .
It was perfect for a sweet vibes car but poor for my family . Went ct9a and never looked back . Again this is my preference and not general

I just love the body style, and I have heard great things about the handling characteristics of the VI so I think it would be blast to own and drive. Coming from an SRT-4 I think any Evo is leaps and bounds better To each their own!

Roll shmoll lol I took VERY good care of my SRT-4 and still had problems with it all of the time... Between the TPS, IAC wiring going bad, the Multifunction switch melting and almost burning the car down, power steering rack exploding and actually catching the car on fire, and the damn thing eating crank sensors like it was its sole purpose I had to get rid of it... I was so tired of that thing haha It was a blast to drive in between fixing it all of the time but I could not bring myself to buy another.
