Im getting a little bored with my 350z, and the expense of modifying it is beginning to make me wonder if it's even really worth tuning on.

I've been looking at various cars in my price range, and the Evo has always interested me. I've done some poking around, and it has gotten some pretty awesome reveiws from the car mags, and the couple of owners I've talked to (and even one Subaru owner who regrets not buying one) have talked them up quite a bit to me.

I do have a couple questions though:

Are these cars "big guy" freindly? Im 5'11 & 300lbs, built like a keg. I fit in my Z just fine, but many import cars are just too damn small for me.

The MR semi-automatic powertrain sounds really interesting, and since this will be a daily driver occaisionally used for "spirited" driving, it appeals to me. Are there any major drawbacks to selecting this as the transmission?

What mods would you recommend right off the bat? Im guessing intake work and a new BOV, but Im curious to hear what the more seasoned Mitsubishi tuners have to say.

Thanks in advance!
