Acura RSX stolen out of my driveway in LA.

So my car got stolen... and I really can't decide if I should take the plunge and buy an Evo. Anyone in Lafayette be so kind to let me drive theirs around the block or something? Oh yeah I'm narrowed it down to a few cars.

350Z
S2000
E36 M3
Evo

all used to save money.

well thanks!

I'm sorry for your loss. Did your RSX have a vehicle immobilizer to deter theft and not to be able to start your RSX?

i have a friend who had a 350z put about 12,000 dollars into his car i put like 800 into my evo and we would run dead even, if you want the abil. to upgrade your power i would def. stick with a turbo car, plus out of those choices nothings gonna hang with the evo stock to stock

I am the guy who had the 350Z. I would get an EVO if I were you. Oh yeah, I work for Nissan North America. I would buy ANY Nissan or Infiniti and would LOVE it. The EVO is the ONLY Mitsu I would buy. And that is simply because I am in the VERY niche market the EVO caters to. If I didn't care about being able to get 20 HP out of a catback, for instance, I would def not be driving a Mitsu. I bought the powertrain, not the badge, that is for sure. The Z looks way better, IMO, and handles better as well, despite what EVO owners might think (I have owned both). Of course some of that 12K was in the suspension and not all motor. Anyways, I like my EVO and you need to decide for yourself based on what you really want out of this car.

Haha no. A friend of mine, Jason, and I are using this screen name to organize an EVO club called NTEC. We have already talked about getting separate names because of this type of confusion. Although I almost made the same joke as you earlier.
