Default Goodbye Evo Hello S2k

Justed wanted to say hello to everyone. I actually just traded my 2004 Evo 8 for a s2k. My first impression of the car is it is slower, has less space, and the doesn't handle as good as my evo BUT i am loving the looks i get in the car and of course the convertiable is really nice.

Hope to see some of you on the streets or the track.

Evo 8 is the daddy

It's handling is pretty unbeatable.

I recently did the same move.

390 bhp down to 240.

You get used to it!

there's magic in doing it without boost, but that makes me a hypocrite

NO this is a different guy. My evo was a 2005. I dont hate v8s though, its more of a joke and I like being the under dog.

This is my first RWD car too.

I have seen n/a s2k hang with evos at streets of willow so I know that this car has a lot of potential.

I just need to improve my driving skills

It's the power delivery difference. The Evo does not handle better than the S2k (stock for stock) IMO. The S2k is slower though. Especially the AP1 with their 2.0L and gearing difference. It's going to feel much slower than the evo. Im sure you'll like the S2k though, i know I do.
