Exactly, these things can take 400 all day.

The only difference will be the grunt from the torque. The scoob had that in bucket loads.

I do miss that low down grunt & my burble.The Evo needs 3000rpm then it's off where the Scoob was away at 2500rpm. I do go into the garage start the scoob & smile. In many way's the Scoob is a better car, paint work, gearbox, easy to drive a better day to day car. I think with this model Evo they spent the money on aluminium bits all over the place. Bilstien suspention alloy cross members, ect, even the roof on this model is alloy. I need more time with this Evo then i will make my mind up. Its not a step up in cars, but there is something about it i really like.

Both look cracking mate.
The scoob just has more character in my opinion.
But if i were to chose one to take to the ring,it would be the evo, no question. You could drive the evo flat out down there nail it around the ring and then flat out back and it wouldnt worry it at all.

i like them both but imo its gotta be the scoob, i like the evo but it dosent look as agressive as the scoob, its hard having to choose between them both but to top it off the scoob has more of a unique sound

Both lovely mate. I always find it funny how people are either scoob or evo, yet on paper they are one of the same. For me, the scoob wins it, as you said, as a day to day car, and of course the noise, i dont think they can be beaten. Nice choice to have tho lol

I was toying with the idea of getting an Evo 5 last year. But kept the scoob coz i wouldnt have got the money for it due to running probs.

I WILL have an Evo one day

I prefer the 5

I'd buy the 5 for the fun of driving, then add the 6 spoiler & front bumper

Until i could afford the X

If only i could. I cant mate my bike money is tied up in the Evo so Scooby has to go. Ive taken a deposit on the Scoob but its not likely to go untill Jan/Feb next year. I'm looking for an Aprlia Rsv factory if you know anyone who's selling? Hope the hunt for your new car works out.
