2005 MITSUBISHI LANCER CY EVOLUTION IX - Performance West - Performance West

I do track days and am quite handy behind the wheel. My g/f and I are quite fit so getting in and out is no problem and the dog can still go in the back when required
My boss has a low km IX in awesome condition be lucky to be driven once a week for the last 2-3 years, good quality mods and wants less then the above. Its for sale for personal reason's.

PM if you want some more details on it.

I do love my Subi but it needs quite a bit of cash and time to get it where I want it to be and I have already forked out quite a bit on it. Its in great condition, stops and handles brilliantly but is down in power. Will possibly be up for sale soon if I get the EVO IX.

In my opinion, the evo is a better faster car, with more potential. But the sti is the real driver. The lack of yaw control makes the car less stable and therefore more of a driver car. The evo can make any idiot look good at driving. But in my opinion that's not driving.

I drive a Holden/HSV as my everyday car with a 6 speed, when I jumped into our evo x (that I virtually never got to drive) I used to go for 6th gear on the highway,

The grinding noise scared the shit out of me every time!

You are comparing your bug eye (1st of a series) with an Evo IX (last of the series)
Go and drive an 05STi -07STi to at least give it a fair comparison.

EVO makes easy power but I'm sorry they don't go around corners as well.

Weekend safe Motorsport? Buy the Evo, the power will allow you to slow down around the corners rather than driving the best out of the car to get the results.

Kinda like an R35 before the R35 came along.

Haven't seen a comparable STi for sale, GT-Rs are getting a bit old and are pricer to keep going. Its going to be a lot easier to buy this EVO as they do finance and are going to trade one of my motorcycles that I don't want anymore. If the budget was higher . .

Decided not to be a turn-coat and have done a deal on a demo RS 40 limited edition WRX. I will slowly improve it over several years. Have 4 weeks to sell my bugeye or it will be traded.
