If anyone does really want an EVO I recommend getting one off of ebay, or there is a brand new one about 45 min from where I will be in Indiana, and they want to sell it very badly. They said they would do me better than 27k if I really wanted it.

But I'm getting Anxious! about getting out on some sort of track, ... so I'll keep an eye open for them when I get out there.
Haven't driven an Evo 8 yet (perhaps someday), but I did sit in the one at the last autoshow and found it much better for my height then an STi. I also let my kids crawl around in the back seat and they like the room back there much better then the STi. 
BTW, Sean I wasn't salty that you beat out all of us STis that day and swiped points in a class you don't normally run in. You could have been driving a Metro and probably beat me. Wait I did get beat by a Metro once when I was driving my WRX Wagon...
Okay, I missed Test and Tune due to more important stuff (aka family), but I will be out Sunday, won't be sick this time and should be able to swap in my V700s so my only excuse after Sunday will be that I suck.

Damn, only now I seen this thread. Interesting discussion. I don't mind if ya don't like Evo's. I've owned an STi and an Evo, and I love both like they were my two children. Too bad one child got kidnapped and burned!! (Yeah, I'm still pissed about that).
Hey Keirnna, was that yellow one you were driving an '03 model? They tried to sell me their last '03 model which was yellow.

if you have a helmet, bring it and hope that it passes tech, if not, then you can use the loaner. shoes, suntan lotion are musts with water. oh yeah, if you are messy like me, empty your car out the night before.

be sure to look at the event changes on the web site.

Morning registration starts at 7:30am and ends promptly at 8:30am. Lunch time registration starts at 11:30am and ends promptly at 12:30pm. You miss these times, I can't help you. Hope to see you out there...I doubt we'll be able to miss a 6'5" guy driving an STi...

If you are racing, it will be $25. If you are an SCCA member, it is $17.
