I love the EK9, one of my best mates has one. I love them, they look awesome, they sound great, they go well and the handling is phenomenal.
But, if i had the modifiying bug, i couldnt buy an EK9. With the price tag they come with these days, I couldnt justify 7k+ for a good one, then to take it away from standard form.
If I bought an EK9 it would have to be kept mint standard and kept in the garage (ps i know the GT spends most of its time in the garage) but atleast I can look and think about about modifying it.
Although id love to own an ek9. I would be tempted by a nice EK4, especially if I was going to modify it.
