Not sure where the "Evo's are boring" myth comes from, of course it's all subjective but I've driven stock Evo 7 and 8's totally crossed up at 100mph looking out of the side window laughing my head off, and then put a series of B road corners together smooth and fast again laughing my head off. The harder you drive them the better they get in my opinion, they wake up when you beat them hard. Yes they will seem "boring" when pootling or just doing the standard Cossie test of straight line A road 50mph to xxxmph burst... but even a big hp Cossie is boring b y that standard!

I've also been in a few 500bhp+ modified 6's to 9's... how anyone can describe those as boring I don't know, and I've been in a few naughty cars in my time.

If I could a) fit one in my garage and b) got bored of modifying a silly little Toyota Starlet and wanted a fun drivers car I'd have an Evo over a Cossie any day of the week.
