I had an 03 GSR (regular viii). They handle great, especially with the advan tires and basic suspension, and respond well to mods. But it feels like the car is driving you, you're not driving the car.

A buddy of mine sold his s14 with an rb25 for an VIII, he loved it more than anything... for about 2-3 months. Then he was in the same rut that I was. Now he has an FD with an LS1, which I make fun of him for every time I see him.

I could get you a ride in an Evo IX MR though. I'll ask the guy that owns it to come along whenever we have the HT meet. Hopefully my friend with the v8 FD will have his motor done by then, and he'll tag along too.
