If it was me I wouldn't spend £10k on the 9, but that's just my opinion. I know the 9 is supposed to be a better drive than the 8 all round. The engine has Mivec and produces 20ish bhp and 40ish lb/ft more, but for £10k I'd want a lot more than that.
I've not driven an evo 8 but I went for test drive in a 9MR 360 a few weeks back, and whilst it was fast and handled well, I certainly wouldn't have swapped my 6 for it. To me it didn't feel as sharp or fast and as the 6 has always been my facourite I didn't think it looked as nice either.
I can see what you're saying about not wanting to start modding. When I bought my car a few months back, I said that I couldn't want to mod it any more because it had almost everything I wanted on it. My problem now is that I've started modding it further and it's like eating pringles...one you pop, you just can't stop.
I'm sure someone/people will be along who were in the same boat as you to tell you what they decided and why, which will be more helpful than my opinion.
no point chucking in another 10k and getting a IX 360 why not just buy a IX GT and tune that to 400/400 then youl have a nice machine also just add the lip spoiler/vortex generator.
