I think you need to define what you are looking in a "track" car. Evos are fun and reliable when modded properly. They will also turn in fantastic laptimes. RWD will always be more fun than AWD. I have a 2006 Evo that runs great, made more power and turns way faster laptimes than my old school 1990 Supra turbo but there was no mistaking the AWD for RWD drive no matter how quick the steering ratio is on the Evo.
So if laptimes are important, get the Evo, but if having a fun overall track experience, I would suggest staying with a RWD.
If you plan on doing any sort of freeway driving, the 5sp Evo runs 3400-3500 rpms at 80mph. The noise gets bothersome if youre driving 2-3hrs to and from the track.
Evo get horrible gas mileage for 4 cyl turbo.
In one year the economy has accelerated the depreciation of semi-luxury sports cars. Not so much for the Evo/STi. Im not quite sure if the following years will follow trend but what is the value of the M3 once it falls out of warranty?
