haha, thats awesome! Seen a few previous evo owners in here

I'm keeping my evo 9, not sure I could live without it! But its a salvage-title, picked up for a good price.

evo x however, has always been the redheaded stepchild. Never truly liked the car. It has cams, full bolt ons, titanium single exit exhaust... makes about 440hp on e85, 400 on 93. Its just so ******* heavy

There are people from Evo's, 350Z's, GTR's, Ferrari's, etc. Mainly motor heads and DIY'ers here. Good people on this forum.

Welcome and good luck on the search. The Raptor will put a smile on your face every time you walk up to it.

Gay? What's an evo? Sounds like a great move for you. Good luck!

An Evo is a badass track car.

It's literally: turn in, mash the go pedal, hang on and power out.

I loved my Evo 8. Should have never gotten rid of that car. I just didn't drive it. After my daughter was born my wife didn't want her in the Evo. I use to scare my wife (then girlfriend) by doing all wheel drifts out of any turn that was safe doing so.

Might have to pick another one up sometime.

Op, welcome!

I got my SCREW a few weeks ago. The snow and mud have left a permanent grin on my face. This thing is a tank. It has gotten me through some pretty nasty pits. I have no idea what I'm doing either. I never mudded/rock crawled etc. I just turn on the gizmo's, mash the gas, if getting stuck saw on the wheel and Annabell gets me out.

yeah, what he said. AWD turbo car. 400+ hp/tq with only intake, cams, intercooler, piping, exhaust, injectors, pump, and some other goodies. Really sucks you into your seat, not much else hooks up quite like it. Great in the snow, street, and dirt roads. Basically a raptor in car form. Rally ready from the factory, easily modded to get serious power. Ive been through 3 through the last 3 years they're a blast.

This will be new to me too. My first car was a truck, but not for too long.

Scab should be here in a couple months, just in time for some mud and trails! and to haul my toys around

The evo was a great car… bought it new 8 years ago and I enjoyed the hell out of it… But change of scenery has dictated something a bit different… so I went Raptor… haven't looked back. :) Enjoy.
