I just want your quick opinions on the key differences between the 2003 model and 2005.

If the 2005 model doesn't have enough major changes for it to be worth buying, then i'll probably buy a used 2K3 Evo...

Doesn't the 2005 all come with ACD standard and not on the 2003?

EDIT: I'm not talking about the MR edition for 2005. The MR i know comes with lots of upgrades: shocks, aluminimum room, 6spd tranny, rims, tires, etc...

You must be talking aboot the fq400 evo.... that costs 85000 bucks.

I wouldnt buy a used evo, these things are bought for two things, modding and racing.

No, the Evo FQ400 is a limited production car for the UK market to celebrate 30 years of Mitsubishi in the UK.
 

s2000?
I thought you were getting an s2000

You've been called out in many of your threads and like to jump all over the place. Some of the threads are really funny.
Though I don't understand why you post all these threads about poetry and homework, but at the same time you're making money hand over fist as a stock broker.

If you are for real, go to an evo forum and read threads.

and i can't choose between cars because i don't know what i want..

g35coupe is nice and luxurious, but too played out...
s2000 is raw fun, but not too practical for lack of space...
Now EVO VIII, is somewhat practical cause it can seat 4/5 and it's fast too... but not that luxurious... but acceptable..

Well from your posts alone... whatever the 2005 Evo has and the 2003 doesn't... you probably won't notice.

STIs have been able to provide traction and stability through mechenical components, while EVOs have been more on the computer side of it.

Let's just say what you said was true... how is it a bad thing for the Lancer to be like that?

The way I think about it, is that EVOs computer compensates what they could not get done right mechanically, STIs don?t have that problem.

Whatever works... And you really think Mitsubishi's engineers couldn't "get it right mechanically"? What do you think all their victorious years in the rally scene meant?
