Wow! a lot of you guys do not know much about cars on the market today. I got crazy looks in my Evo 8. i still do all the same stuff in my boxster that i did in my evo but at half the speed and intensity . I get a lot of old hag bag cougers looking at me in my boxster too.
The Lancer Evolution is held in high regards throughout the world. The Evo X is a direct descendant of the world rally championship Evolution that dates back well over a decade. (does Tommi Makkinen ring a bell ) This cars 2.0 makes almost 300 h.p. and has one of the most sophisticated all wheel drive systems on the market and let me tell you they are built like tanks ! The guys on the Evo forums don't put 3,500 away for when their car breaks ,that amount will almost net you 400 h.p. at the wheels.
I hate to say it but a lot of you guys are posers in your boxsters because if you are a real car guy you would know what and evo is . you may not like it's looks but you would respect it's performance and history. The Evolution X is not your typical queer ricer.

Hey I gave you respect , sounds like fun, ditch the Box and get a Rocket. Send us pics, I'm sure we'd like to see it, heck I'll probably notice them on the road now. My son is 20 and loves BMWs, I couldn't give him my Boxster if I tried (though he does love driving it ). I remember a couple of years ago I wouldn't have been interested in a Boxster, went to a Porsche gathering in NC Mountains last year and got hook...I was a Cayman guy at first.

Well, a few of them might think that to. Which leads me to..................................

Jacabean, you have to remember your audience here. Most of the guys on the forum here are up in years and not younger men. The median age is probably somewhere around 55....much like your typical corvette owner. Anything that has good performance and aggressive looks and comes out of Japan is considered rice to them. Personally, if I had to own only 1 car the EVO would be the way to go. Much more practical than the Boxster, has impressive performance and is fun to drive. The Boxster makes a fine 2nd or third car, but if you're looking for a car that does it all then the EVO all the way. The only thing I don't like about the new EVO is I believe it can't be bought with a traditional manual trans.

Hey Adam, can I have your rims then when you get your EVO ...mine are the 2000 17 inch (turbo look I think)...don't quite do it for me. J/k.

Sure, would you buy them for $30,000 so I can get an EVO? Yeah the Carrera Light wheels are popular. Lots of people buy the knock offs....mine are real.

awesome car, seems pricey. Don't get wrong it would be my four door choice or an STI (better engine reputation...from what I hear at the autocross) but $40K today is what $50K was three years ago.

$40K will get you pretty nice second hand Porsche if you want to try something different.

Perhaps not, but it sure looks like it is!

It's hard for me to even look at pictures of it online - if I had one in the driveway I'd leap over the back fence to avoid looking at it.
