Traded in the Evo for a 2001 WS6
Well the Evo had quite a few problems with it (Clutch, all the belts and crank plate getting destroyed in a freak accident, and numerous programming issues that were never resolved). I went to a dealership initially looking for a 2002 SS that they had there. Luckily that car sold, and I looked over to see a 2001 WS6 for sale, for alot cheaper. The car costed $21,000 and had 39K miles on it. I traded in the Evo, and gave them $1000. I'm paying less money for the car, and I have an extended warranty. Hopefully this car won't have that many problems. Matty we definitely need to run each other. BTW the car came with some aftermarket goodies: Thunder Racing Catback Exhaust, and K&N air filter.

Re: Traded in the Evo for a 2001 WS6
Good deal. I guess the two cars are a bit different, but why didn't you get another evo?

haha of course hes goin to do shit to it. right now since the WS6 is pretty mcuh stock, his EVO is probrably faster. anyways well sorry to hear about the freak accident with your EVO. well enjoy your new car. i just think it would be weird to jump from a Z28 to a EVO back to a big clumsy WS6 again. i mean you had a taste of what a balanced car feels like, now your just goin straight back to raw power.

Re: Traded in the Evo for a 2001 WS6
Actually top end wise i'm positive that this car is faster. I'd guestimate that this car should trap around 104 mph through the traps at Speedway, whereas the Evo would trap around 102 with it's mods. The car already has a few mods that the original owner put on. The power is there, and i'm positive that this car has more power at the wheels then the Evo did. I actually think it can hang with Danno SS's car from a roll (He's got drag radials, and his car is an automatic, so I don't think I could beat him from a dig. BTW he ran a 13.2 sec. 1/4 mile at 105 last time we were at the track). The Evo kept having problems. I don't think all Evo's are bad reliability wise, but that car was really pissing me off. Oh, and yeah, this WS6 handles horribly. I isn't even funny how poorly it handles.

Re: Traded in the Evo for a 2001 WS6
the WS6 is as fast or faster than the evo.
at least the WS6 handles better than the Z28

Re: Traded in the Evo for a 2001 WS6
Whatever makes you happy I guess. It seems like a downgrade to go from a brand new evo to a 3 year old ws6. W/e Both cars are cool and fast.
