SO back to topic do you think 9 is worth the extra cash or 7 & 8 are good enough as long as they are in good condition?
Also does 8MR offer much better handling over 8GSR for those who actually driven both...
P.S I saw an EVO 8 MR GSR in GT5 (yes GT5) and noticed it has more power than EVO 8 GSR & EVO 9, like around 320bhp, did they actually increased the power in later revisions of 8 coz i read somewhere it has some slight increase?
apart from what h22 said, evo 7 has a smaller fuel tank, which means a slightly more frequent trip to the petrol station.
other than that, you can hardly notice the difference in terms of power delivery and handling because we are not pro-drivers that can milk all the performance out of the car although MR specs are slightly better than GSR.
important thing is that you get to own your dream car and enjoy the drive.
if you have the cash to spare, getting an evo 9 isn't that bad as it is newer and you can get higher loans compared to 7 or 8.
hope you get your car soon.
almost forgot, try to have additional spare cash between rm3k to rm5k just in case your car requires immediate maintenance.
important thing is to change all the fluids first before modifying anything else. engine oil, coolant, gear oil, differential and ayc oil, brake fluids.
when you change your timing belt, make sure you buy full set that comes with water pump.
