Have been toying with the idea of getting an older vette to play around with so im throwing this up here to see if there’s any interest.
2008 mitsubishi evo x gsr
SSS package, interior sport package
37k miles
some small exterior imperfections, most of which i think could be buffed out
full bolt ons, dual maps e85/93 octane
car has NEVER been launched, stock clutch still.
includes all stock parts and tactrix cable so you can log and opensource flash your own map.
either a late (02-04) C5, or a early (05-06) C6.
Would start with NA build, int/headers/exhaust/maybe heads/cam, and possibly move towards a supercharger sometime in the future if funds allow.
I absolustely love the evo, im just getting to the point where i can’t do much more to it and still DD it. Im driving 150+ miles a day to work in VT so i wanna get a fun car and a beater. i figured a vette for fun and a POS to bounce back and forth to work/winter. If anything, Id be downgrading performance wise going to a stock vette, but I wouldnt mind a removable roof for the summer to take the girl out in.
Id remove some parts for the sale but i figured alot of people on here would be interested in it the way it is. With a retune the car should make close to 400whp and it has all the supporting mods for a FP red/black build. Car has 5k worth of parts in it if i had to estimate. AMS dual exhaust alone was 1100.
mods are listed in the build thread in the original post.
I could take everything off and make some money with a Part out, but would prefer to sell the car together if the price is right. Sure as hell don’t want to redo that downpipe install and take the several days to put everything back to stock.
Car should trap in the 114-115 neighborhood on a good tune i believe.
Yeah, i figured straight line performance would be close to a wash. The evo is more capable handling wise imo, but the vette would certainly have room for growth.
Performance wise, id have fun with either car, id like a vette for the aesthetics and the ability to remove the top for some summer fun.
