Are you talkin about an 03 Evo?

An o3 should have no fixxing up to do. Maybe some rutine maintanence thats all

well it all depends on what kinda money you want to spend and what you like. Personally the 08 is definetly gonna be the better choice for many reasons. I think those cars will have a much larger aftermarket down the road since they share the same engine and chassis as the new evo X. And you will have no maintenance issues for a while. Also i heard that the new lancers actually have pretty decent handling. And i think they look better. Id go down and test drive one and see if you like it.

i'm a tad bit confused. you are asking which car to get but the price of an 03 EVO is probably the same if not cheaper than an 08 lancer. but you would rather have a Lancer ES and swap an SRT motor in it? why not just buy and EVO? it's awd, WAY better handeling, way better power and look better than a lancer. i say eithe the 08 lancer or the 03 EVO.

no no no my question was is it even possible to drop an srt 4 engine in a lancer

the 03 lancer is a lancer not an evo bone stock lancer

id go 08evo IMO b/c thats jus me...SRT motor in a lancer is possible but just stupid because of the cost if it was ever to break down or maintain...and TE, is tha the FINISHED MR2 in ur avatar?looks nice

RE: need help deciding
 
i understand your question dragon but it is an irrelevant question.... for the price of the lance, srt engine and the swap it would end up being cheaper, a lot cheaper to just buy an evo VIII for 18-20k.
