Last year I bought a 2008 Mazdaspeed 3. I got a little tired of the 6-speed tranny and the springiness of the clutch so I looked at getting a brand new 2008 Lancer Evolution X. They had them for dirt cheap with Mitsubishi finance offerings so I went for it!!!!!! The Evo has always been my dream car and now I finally have it.
It's not only my dream car but it's also in my favorite color, Graphite Gray (gunmetal gray is what most call it).
291 horsepower/300 lbs of torque stock, AWD, 5-speed manual
There is a local tuning shop that can dyno tune Evo Xs for $350 with the dyno printout and consistently adds 35-40 whp by simply adjusting the ECU. I am getting this done as soon as I save up the cash which will put it at 330ish horsepower.
