Waiting till I have a time set up for a tune. I don't want to be driving around with them and no tune. I think I'm going to pull the 850 injectors out of the talon and put them into the EVO at the same time, if I find out that they can be run with a decent idle.

You're welcome Brent. I drove shotgun in a WRX and gave up the keys to the EVO for you. I hoped you enjoyed it. (the keys are still in my pocket btw.)

Allan, drive an EVO through some 40 mph twisties at about 70 and you will truely appreciate an EVO. Man, that is fun. I want one too.

They are fun at 70 in a 40mph corner, and "S" curves are great fun! We have had our "05 Evo MR for over a year and really enjoy it. Gone through a set of tires, and needs a clutch. Had it to the track a few times and it ran low 13's stock. Holds 4 adults and grandkid w/carseat nicely. They are quick little cars and lots of fun to drive! I'm going to teach Janna to drive a stick So Allen can get one! Then we'll get the new clutch!

Re: I want an EVO.

I've driven one, but not actually drive. Drove one around the block once, got out and the owner told me to get back in the car and drive the fucking thing again. So I did. But I've got my eye on a Silver 05 with 3k for 23,989. 85% chance I'll pass though, cause I'm "responsible" like that.

3k Miles? Damn, that's cheap as fuck. Silver though? Get an Evo! :-)

It's a Mitsu Buy back car, so there was an issue with it and that's why it would be that cheap. But it will retain the full 60K 5 year warrenty though.

I want a Silver one, I just like Silver. I wouldn't be picky on the color though, just prefer not to have black or yellow.

Chris, I also know of a guy with a sweet 2G for sale, but I don't think he will take the Jeep in on trade.

We are worrying about buying/selling a house right now, so this is just wet dream'n for me right now.

I love my evo, but I miss my 2G. Then again, walking with c06 vettes with a stock evo is pretty damn fun! You would hate the two rear doors tho...I know a guy with a nice 2G he'd let go...

Yup, I meant C6, sorry. My evo will pull away from one pretty easily right now, I've seen a few frowns and head-scratching expressions

I just laughed out loud when I got the mental image of a guy driving a Corvette scratching his head with a WTF look on his face.

Yeah I just read this thread and was like "huh" when I read that. There are stock Z06s that are in the low 11s. And a C6 can get into the 11s and low 12s with a good driver.

I would take an EVO over a Vette though since I live in Minnesota, if I live somewhere where it didn't snow I would take the Vette in a heart beat.
