Talking UPGRADED! Traded my 09 GTS today for an RR EVO X GSR w/SSS & Aero

SIIICKEST CAR EVER! I cant wipe the smile off my face! I have wanted an evo for months and months now. I got the GTS about a year ago and it really was a great car, but there was always something lacking and I just flat out became soooo envious of all the evox owners on this forum. I tossed a couple small mods on the lancer but I realized quick that the evo is in a different league and I just wouldn't be satisfied till I bought one. I worked the numbers long and hard and created numerous spreadsheets. In the end, I just decided it had to happen.

Bought it for 2500 below invoice plus TTL, all financed at 0% for 60months, not an insane deal compared to you guys in cali, but at least they gave me a very very generous trade amount of 17000 on my GTS, other dealers were saying 14-15k for it.

Oh I also decided to get lojack with it and a tire/wheel 5 year warranty($500) that even covers curb rash

Below are pics from today, enjoy!!

There has been a debate of taking it easy and braking it hard for years. All my car have been broken in hard and I'm at 30k miles on stuck clutch too. 30k on stock clutch with 3 track days and 4 or so launches. So do it how ever u like, as there has never been a true test to put these hard vs soft break in discussions to rest...
