If I had the option I'd get an Evo in a heartbeat. Everything's more expensive than DSMs. But just wait. All it is, is a DSM with a pretty coat on. Prices will drop, all of them will be shitty and the circle will complete itself.
Even though I just got back into DSMs a month? ago. I've already found out how hard it is to find stuff that use to be really easy. Seems like these days you have to buy Eagle cranks because you can't find a used uncut OEM anymore. They use to be $50 and eaten like candy before I took my DSM break. Same with blocks and trans. $100 for each of those but now I can't even find one. Might as well own an Evo.
However the flip side is you think cheap highschool DSMers are bad? Take a look at the evom board. Everyone's 30-40 years old and has a giant head. If someone's wrong you're flamed to Cuba.

It's not really about "Making power" though. I've owned a powerful DSM, and so have many of my friends, I know all about cars breaking with more power, It's not exactly rocket science lol. And If the car was making alot of power it would be understadable. But it's the hackjob stuff thats annoying
Yeah Ive driven Evos before, and dressed up or not, most of the 9s I'd look at would have 40-50k So it's just less wear and tear, and It would be easier to find one that isn't hacked to death, so I wouldn't have to redo everyone elses stuff. And the fact that they will become shitty is a reason in itself to get one now lol.
Yeah I agree some evo guys have giant heads, and so do alot of DSM guys and a slew of other people.
