I know on the old ones it was the interior.. front lip.. aluminum roof(which the RS came with but not the GSR) and suspension. Not positive on the tens.. haven't been keeping up with them. The old ones were a 6 speed too

From what I can read on evom... the only difference is interior and exterior stuff... BBS wheels, navigation..etc...etc..

Just out of curiousity, what is your reasoning behind this? (not being a smart ass, just want to know from your end why you would want the older model)

Don't worry about it, you have every right to ask

From what I've read the Evo X has been dumbed down for the general public. I mean yes, it's pretty much as fast, and has some cool electronic stuff to make it easier to drive fast, but it's not as much of a drivers car. From the tests i've read, the Evo X was easier to drive around the track fast, but a good driver is able to get more out of an Evo IX. I'm also a fan of the 4G63, it's a classic engine. In my opinion, it deserves to be right up there in history with the old big block V8s and stuff from the 60s. I also prefer the looks of the older Evos to the new one. I mean, the new one looks pretty good, but I like the older one's better. If I were to get one it would be a second car, a toy car to play around with, and I'd rather have the "classic" Evo. Besides, people will be wanting to upgrade to the Evo X, so the older ones will be cheaper to buy.

A loaded Lancer GTS tops out around $22K, and the cheapest Evolution X GSR starts north of $33K. This leaves a big opening for the 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart.

What I wanna know is, will it even be possible or even needed to do tranny upgrades? Is this the regular 4g63 that\'s been in the Evo or is it a totally new motor?
