Man its actually a fun car to drive. Feels like its on rails, its not as fast as the rex and never will...lol

I wanted something fun and reliable and under $20k. I was looking at M3's,STI, and EVO's. Well lets just say overal the evo took the cake. M3's where great but all the ones under 20k where already at or over 100k miles. My evo has 34k miles on it I am the second owner.

Plus fc3smurray you know how it is when they say formation at 0530 and you absolutely need your car to fire up and go without a doubt. I am still rotary but as of now I feel like me having a all out race car will be better than building a race car for the street. If only i had al my stock trim and features on the fc then I would reconsider. But i made my mind 1900lbs +250hp running 9s or 3300lbs +650whp running 11's. Which is cheaper and faster?

Hell yeah, man i turn that a/c on and just cruise without a doubt. I drove it from Louisiana 695 miles and only filled up twice.

And boost is instantly but nothing beats a T70 on a rotary pushing 7k rpms on 2nd gear that ISH is priceless
