It is running the 4b11. He must be referring to something else.

Being a tech geek, the FAST is a big turn on for me. It's really convenient and really cool.

As a fellow geek, it would be far cooler with a button than a stupid knob you have to reach around the steering wheel to get at like a ignition lock. It's not like there isn't room on the effing dash board.......

Sounds very much like the system the '08 CTS has. I work at a Cadillac/Chevrolet dealership, and I have to say, the CTS keyless package is cool. (The XLR/STS system with the pushbutton IS cooler though.)

sorry if this have already been answered or said before but since the RA is running on 4b11 and the evo x is also running on 4b11, wouldnt it be very possible to use evo x parts on the RA to gain more hp?

most likely. but i'm hoping they do it the other way. i'm hoping they use the 4B11T in evo trim (semi-closed deck with forged pistons) to share costs with the evo. wishful thinking but who knows, maybe

I'm gonna have to agree.

A reflash and mbc should really open up this beast, even throw in a TBE for good measure,

within 3K of the GSR, its 33K list

-A different body kit
-AWD (with 3 diffs)
-Turbocharged motor
-An Evo X steering wheel
-SST Transmission

This seems pretty reasonable to me.

Then, you drop in the following packages: (prices taken from GTS options list)
-Sun and Sound (sunroof and Rockford Fosgate stereo system) - $1,500
-Navigation/Tech (FAST key, Navi, Mp3 hard drive) - $2,000

That brings you to $28,500 which leaves $1,500 for the remaining two options (Recaros and HIDs) before you break the $30k physiological barrier and get within $2k of an Evo GSR.

Sounds like a good idea to me, but I don't think the Evo crowd would like that much.
