A spectacular addition to the fleet! Congrats! As a lifelong DSMer, I’d always wanted an Evo 6.5. One day maybe. I can’t wait to see what you do with yours. You know what- I think I like your 5 better, especially in silver.

Missing my evo 5. I bought one when I was studied in Japan in 2004. Unfortunately, I met with an accident at hill area in Akita, causing the car to total loss. It really a good car even in stock it already equipped with after market parts like brembo brakes, momo steering, recaro seats etc

@@JustDriven funny thing is the Evo 5 is same age as me as well. Playing gran Turismo 2 is notable as well.

While Tommi Mäkinen and Initial D are both strong representations for the Evo V, even Gran Turismo, I have a much deeper connection with them elsewhere. There was an older racing series on Playstation 2 called Tokyo Xtreme Racer, and in TXR3, there was an Evo team called Commander. Commander was a play on Team Emporer from Initial D. Anyhow, I always had trouble with that one specific team each time I played through that game. I vividly remember the camo Evo V being so strong. It's iconic to me from those games. All the Evos are so iconic. It's a shame we never got any of them til the 8th generation. Can't wait to see progress on this!

We had these cars arriving in Australia in early 2002 as an grey import but in 2001 after government red tape Mitsubishi Australia bought in the EVO 6.5 Tommi Makinen at wopping price of $80,000.00 AUD....but the import ones were selling as low as between $15,000.00 to $35,000.00 AUD for a pristine model with low 4 to 4.5 rating. Too many were imported and today they are fetching silly prices with high mileage.

Right now, the GRC because of the safe fun factor. Once the Evo has better tires and has had the engine looked over, it'll be a tough choice.
