Not the tires

Less vibration

With the larger 10.5cm^2 housing, power delivery should be a bit smoother. Boost shouldn't hit as hard, while you get more top end.

Nice picture. I'm suprised you let someone else drive your car on a rainy day. Glad nothing bad happened. I bet that guy doesn't drive HIS car that hard. You got a taste of what I have to go through sometimes.

Amen to that.
damnit, i wish i lived in cali... i still have another 2 weeks to wait for mine... BLARGH. anyways, that was a great writeup and makes me more confident in my decision to have waited for an '05 instead of "settling" on an '04 or '03
nice write up.
i just checked the mitsu website and even though it says the HID's are optional I did not see them in the accessory or option package anywhere. Did you get the HIDs ? If so can you please let us know what the price is....thanks.

I don't know what to say - it has really surprised me. At first I thought I was imagining it or that I was comparing a 13,000 mile car to a brand new one. But the more I have driven the car, the more I think it is quite real. The guy who drove my car today agreed that the '05 is smoother, too. I am just really curious what changed.

decided to use softer engine mounts? Just a guess.
