To my fellow SE RX8 Buds......

Guess who is back. Me and the wife compromised ... she got an auto and four doors, and I got 290hp.






Can't wait to see you guys at the track. STF

This is the best looking EVO.

I'm still glad I got my G8 GT.

It's nice to be unique.

Congrats on your purchase. I still have a 2001 Diamonte.

Thanks, I can't wait to see some of you guys back at the track. Yes, it has an auto, but it has some paddles, so it isn't bad. However, every time I get in the thing, I still look for the clutch.

Doesn't the auto come in only the super bad-*** version of the evo? It also has 3 different shift modes. I'd take one.

Enjoy!

May take a little longer, the good news is I have track tires already, but I promised the wifey to pay off her Jeep first. Shouldn't take too long.

Yeah, but the wifey will be in the Evo. She has gone off about 10x today running errands in the car, and I can't seem to keep her out of it, I will come down with the Mustang and Jeep, and she will bring the Evo.

I have to run the car to AMS, the vision of a stock MR is already out the door. She wants more HP, so she can say she has the hottest car on her team. Her friend's hubby has a stock (c5) Z06.

By this time, I will have the AMS Stage 1 on, I should be able to do some nice 4-wheel drifting with street tires and 350whp. That is if I don't say screw the warranty and go for the stage 3, cough 500whp, cough.

. Wife's car may go on steroids.

I have to admit, I am a little concerned of her new found interest. She is scheduling the reflash in September, to get it ready for an autocross. I also saw her trolling Evolutionm.net, and sure enough, she is now posting and get updates on 'what' to do. I may have created a monster. You could a lot more of me at the track ..... working on her new Evo .......
