I know everyone has read about the new evo X. we all know it has a small amount of horse added to compensate for a small amount of added weight such as stock 20" wheels :smt102 . i have read that mitsu will produce a 5 speed manual tranny, and i have read that the paddle shift auto will only be available, which sounds ridiculous to me. many predict that even if a manual is released, the auto will be faster due to decreased shift intervals. even so, i would not want to own such a wonderous auto cursed with an automatic transmission. there is also an anticipated tuning issue that is blamed on the complicated computerized features implimented. I believe subaru will be redesigning the rex pretty quick, if they have not already. Mitsu bias aside; MR vs. STi (STi has a little hp advant), and reg evo vs. reg wrx. What's the consensus? Also, evo IX vs. evo X? I'm seriously considering getting a black evo mr cuz i dont want to wait for the X nor pay out the @$$ for it. ( :smt064 )
