Take the money and get an EVO 9 and blow the doors of either one, Im a Die hard Honda fan 2! but if im building a honda I prefer the 500 dollar hatch with a 10,000 dollar 2L B18C pushing 500whp on 93 and 2k in suspention, so I can rip the sack off 80,000 dollar V8 "super cars" like a wet paper towl and lmfao at them b/c they got whooped by a 12 thousand dollar honda that has 1/4 the engine ROFL. But if your droping 30 g's EVO is ftw IMO.
