ya we'll if "ifs and but's" were candy and nuts, o what christmas would be!

GO BUY A S2000!!!!! Drive it every day, not just on weekends!

(or buy and Evo and skunk S2000's at just about everything )

I'm sold on the FD's, and I'll fight anyone who disagrees!

Of course, with the EVO you'll be stopping in at the local dealership a LOT more often

I don't really see the whole weekend car thing either. I am most likely going to buy an S2K (best rwd roadster for the price imo) but am waiting for now to get some other debt paid off. I don't have to, I could buy one now but that wouldn't be the most responsible thing to do.

Holy crap! >5K RPM at 80 mph? Damn. That's gotta eat some gas. I'm doing a little over 1800 RPM in 6th at 80 mph (redline 6200).

Yeah, well you have torque too

I can't speak for S2K's but my GS-R gets good gas mileage until around 6k with the best being around 4750 or so cruising (when I had a VAFC, now about 4399.. )

ahahaha.... i have a silver evo that i bought new... has 12k miles on it without any real problems... in traffic one day the intake hose popped off.... and it was out of alignment when purchased, but besides that all is good.

It ran 13.4 in the qtr 100% stock at 2 different tracks, beat the hell out of the PCA guys at auto-x and can make it through some road course stuff.

it is not nearly as pretty as an S2000 though!

Yeah but 12K isn't much. I've owned DSM's and other Mitsu turbo products before.... I guess I'm biased by the experience..
