I don't like the TME snowplough front bumper so looks wise I prefer the VI.
If you are wanting to tune your EVO I'd recommend not paying he premium for a TME and using your saving on getting a 400/400 conversion VI.
A TME *should* hold its value better if thats a concern.

From memory, different turbo, different seats and dials, different steering rack...i think that's about it...

PS...i've just left a deposit on a TME

i don't think the blue tommi's are reims blue though, sure it's called summat else?

in all honesty i prefer the look of the normal GSR, but the right car at the right price is all it takes to decide

Tommi is also slightly lower ride height i think.

Personally, i'd go with the standard GSR.

Maks are over-priced IMO, in the smae way that the P1 is over-priced in the Subaru world.

Prefer the more subtle looks of the VII, but the VI is still a lovely car and on my "Wanted" list.

I knew you'd all follow come over to proper cars.............LOL @ Kev......remember the words, "I,LL NEVER SELL MY COSSIE PETE"...LOL.

They have the titanium turbo Kev, lowered ride height over the normal 6, front bumper, front upper strut brace, tarmac suspension, Tommi Mak in the seats, obviously, can't remeber anything else...

The best 6 to go for is either the RS SPRINT, or the RS11, these have NO AYC and have STRONGER drivetrain, I.E you can throw 500+bhp at the diff etc..

Martin,

You sly tart, where's the Mak from then???

My old one..........

Amen to that that's exactly my view of them.

7's are now roughly the same price as a good 6, but they just don't look any good at all!!!




As for the 6RS and RSII...they are cool, but a bit too raw for me, i like my creature comforts too much
