Drive an FD (3rd Gen RX7), then you'll see what a real sports car should drive like.

The Evo 8 is a great car, however I feel that the subaru STI is a little more balanced.  

Both excellent cars, however owning a BC issued VIN Evo 8 in rebuild form wouldn't be the best for re-sale and parts avaliablility is scarce here.

IMO, the Evo 8 is more attractive though.

Actually stephan parts arent a problem because the dealer here can get you everything that the USA dealer can, its just like the R32 which i can go and order all the parts direct from VW.

Kirin, if your serious, ive got a Yellow and a Black Evo 8 =). With forsale signs attached =).

Jeff,

I really enjoy a good wendy's burger if I feel the need for fastfood!  Also, this lounge is not VW specific.  The forum states that this is the:

Air Speed Lounge
General discussion area

Back to the topic of discussion:

I know that those EVO specific parts are avaliable in the USA, but I'd think that dealers wouldn't import the parts because the cars were never offered up here.  For example, could you order euro bumpers for the newer watercooled VW's through a local dealership here?  I know they have access to it, but still wouldn't import it because it originally didn't meet N/A safety standards.  Thats what I thought, but I learn something new everyday.
