so you go out and buy an MR2 which is quite possibly even harder to work on than a front engine v6???

 

Go with the Evolution, seriously for the money you cant beat it. You run 12's with less then 500 $, with out comprimising a.c or power steering like alot of cars do. Easy to work on, and fun on corners.

And most importantly, they look great

but again. just a suggestion

Yes you can beat it...

33k = used vette

 

mabey the turbo'd model is better but from what i saw and heard from my friend with his 1st gen Supercharged MR2 it was no walk in the park to work on that either.... lol

 

used Evo VIII under $20k on EVOm all the time. Used IX on EVOm $23kish

 

lol. true, but most people on this forum like imports, personally i would go with the used z06. but you have to see you opinion through their eyes.
Plus my opion is bias, because all i drive is domestics. So i give a neutral suggestion

Nonetheless i hear you.

Well a zo6 is a different story I would totally take one over my Evo but a used c5 ummm nah no thanks. Id take a c6 as well. I love vettes but for the price of a zo6 it at times is out of most peoples price range

 

i totally agree. I try giving my suggestion on the price range a person gives. I purchased a c6 z06 from an old guy in north minnesota. He was driving home and nearly went head first into a guard rail, trying to swurve around an animal he saw on the road. He tore up the whole front end, but barely touched the engine it self. My buddy who knew i was looking for one, called me and said he was selling it, and i flew over there the next day, and came back with it on a trailer for 55K cash. I rebuild the whole front end, with all new body parts, and straighten the chassis. Completly upgraded the LS7, and have a 06 zo6 for under 65k with 2 thosand miles on it. They go on show rooms, for 90K, and people buy them like they were geo metros. I was extremely lucky.

As for the evo, it really is a awesome buy for the money, you figure with 500$ your already running high 11's or low 12's, no vette can do that, not even the c5 z06, and they do 12.6 stock.
So the evolution is infact a better buy.

wow this guy is happy that he got a car for just barely under 65k... i'm hoping to get my EVO when i do get it for under 25 (huge finger cross there) lol thanks for rubbing it in money bags!!!! lol j/k Gus

 

Dude its easy to pay under $25k for an Evo. I got my Evo 2 years ago with 12k on it for $22k. Just learn how to play the game my friend and you can get what you want. They were asking $26995 for my car and I took it off the lot for $21995. I did alright. it only took about 5 hours though maybe even more not sure
