    Heard one drive by the other day, sounded as exciting as my fax machine. Probably a fun little car to drive. Might go test drive one just for the hell of it.

            9 is heavier, slower, and costs a lot more for what amounts to the same car with different front/rear end + variable valve timing. Evo 8 RS > Evo 9 RS

            Plus the 8 can be converted to look like a 9 pretty easily. :p They are the exact same car other than MIVEC + front/rear changes and some other minor stuff.

                    Yuppp... for the price difference between my (already excellently modded) 8 and a similar condition, one owner Evo 9, I could take my 8 to 500-600 awhp, have Evo 9 front + rear conversion (f/r bumpers, heads, tails), run KW V3 suspension, put on 17x9 Volks CE-28's with 255mm rubber, install f/r sway bars, camber plates, lightweight battery...

                    You get the idea.

                    9's are nice, don't get me wrong. They're just not worth the extra 5-10k they cost over an 8. I'll take my 3000 lb 8 over a 3350 lb Evo 9 MR any day though...

                    The Evo X is awesome as well, the handling is insane, but they weigh 500-600 lbs more than my 8. That's crazy. And they make roughly the same power (supposedly the engine can't even hold as much power on stock block as 8/9!)...

                        RS comes wingless from the factory to reduce weight. ;) I might get a spare trunk with wing to swap back and forth. The wing looks awesome.

                          I don't know how I feel about the spoiler v. no spoiler debate. Same Evo, with spoiler, then with (some high end?) carbon fiber trunk.

                                Personally, without the wing it just looks like a cheap lancer....

                                Great cars though, I will never forgive Mitsubishi for ditching the tried and proven 4g63 platform.
