White Evo X is a great option, even if you leave it relatively stock just mild boltons and a tune, 300+whp on GST's dyno is easy.
I came from a 3cm green 07 Sti 91/
z100% meth tuned @EQ around 380 and still feels light years slower in terms of response and top end compared to my X BBK full E85 with slightly more @402 on FFTEC's dyno.
Handling is hands down better, turn in and rotates better and the zero counter steer of the SAWC is uber fun when you slide.
The interior is debatable as I think the materials in the X is cheaper than the STi, but people like us don't buy these cars for plush interior. I would have stuck with the fat white 335i with red coral leather and a slush box.
Box are equally great cars, but I think for the average person leaving it mostly stock the STi is easier to live with everyday.
The Evo is great with mild bolt ons, but once you start to do heavy mods relaibility and drivability goes down the drain.
I still think the Evo looks better though! Nice drop and a lip = Sex

I have to say the front end of the EvoX reminds me of a slightly face lifted 2000s galant. But I suppose function over form. But then again you want to be driving a car that looks and performs good for YOU. Personally I'd rather go for a 2011 STi.
Is it me or has it been the brucelee show on the forums the past few weeks hahaha there is always something going on.

My friend is selling his x, i think it's a 09 or 10? Has 13.5k miles, but it's dark grey. I drove it before. Really nice and easy to drive, pm me and I'll let you know the details if your interested

I have only 4 real problems with the evo line of cars...
1)They do not hold their resale value like the subaru cars do. They just don't have the quality of build to keep that value long term.
2)I don't care for the interiors on them. The dash seems thin, and most the fabircs come off to me as low end stuff. Again this kind of gets back into reason 1.
3)From things I read, the motors just don't last as long as other manufactures. I don't think I have ever seen a ad for one with 150k+ on it still on the orginal motor. Now this one I am not so sure of...however Mitsu has never been known for building long lasting gas motors. (of note, they build one hell of a diesel motor however, arguably the best small car/truck motor out there)
4)and this is the big one...EVERY evo driver I have ever met, is a eletist *****! I mean seriously worse than the punks in the SRT4's.
Whats the difference betwene a evo and a porcupine? On the evo the ****** are on the inside.
