If it was a series 8 type R RX7 vs getting an EVO9 it would be tough, as for the RX8 vs the Evo9 the choice is simple. EVO9 FTW!!!!

depends what u want out of the car.....
performance and cheap mods to get a sub 5 sec car? go the evo...
looks and comfort? go the RX8 - not cheap at all to modify.
for a previous Type R owner I think the evo 9 is definitely the way to go.
you'll be satisfied with the evo9.... you might not be as satisfied with the performance and handling of the RX8 (esp if your type R was modded).

RX8.. chicks dig it!! i wouldnt get it for performance though.. apparently the rings or some sh*t are really weak for turbo'n. rx8 with INGS bodykit looks really nice
but like the others said, look at insurance, running costs, service costs, etc. and whether you are after power or looks, tunability and parts available.. otherwise wait for evo X to come out!!

afaik rx8 will b slower around a circuit than dc2r or dc5r, similar thing on winding-road, and only slightly pip it in streight-line. so its not really an upgrade in terms of performance. but it apparently has great FR handling..
evo9 would b the performance choice for sure. it absolutely kills the rx8 in all aspects of performance. but its looks and interior not as classy.
have u driven both?"What's the point of racing a car that doesn't look cool?" - Nakai-san, RWB
