Frayz: you metioned that the EVO's turbo and engine are better, stronger but you forgot (possibly unaware of) the downsides - the gearbox and especially the clutch.

I'm sure if you speak to any EVO owner they will have had one, if not more, clutch replacement as they just disintergrate over a short period of time.



If it were my choice being Cornelius then I would be heavily swayed to a Black Evo 5, i have always loved this version of the Evo with its huge front fogs and double rear spoiler.

Cornelius: I seriously suggest you go and test drive some Evo's first to further help your decision as you will find the Evo a great deal more harsher ride then a scooby.

My mate has a Evo 9 in black and it worlds apart from the scooby counterpart - FMIC, HKS exhaust, boost & oil guages as standard

As mentioned above the scaryfactor for e would be the service intervals that are 3 times as many a year as a Scooby



Hope my views help in some way and dont offend owners on here

This time, the Scoob will only be driven for pleasure as I'll have a company truck for work, even so, the service intervals of an Evo do bother me. Agreed, the Evo 5 looks the nuts!

Great advice, thank mate

if ur gonna consider a skyline, u might as well consider the last RX7s, they look like a proper sports car, although its rear wheel drive like the R33s(excluding the GTR), they r one of the best hadling cars around too believe or not..it actually came second in a race to a NSX, along with the EVO 5 3rd, R32GTR ,scooby 22b n the ferarri F355 in last place..Black one with a nice kit can look mean machines at nite
