stvbreal How do you like the Recaros. Does it hug you pretty well? By the looks on your pix, I'm almost the same size as you are. Mitsu dealership out here are pretty shady and won't let me try and sit on the car.

Well just got back from a lot of driving and will even have some more pics later. I like everything about the car.

My "review" is probably a little skewed because I drive a 89 Mustang as a daily driver and it rides like a tank. Just about any car would feel better than it, but I really think the evo feels wonderful. You can definitely feel just about every bump in the road, but it's a good feeling. The HID's are awesome especially being able to raise and lower them. Like others have said, you can definitely feel the power of the car even in the lower RPM range. It's hard to keep back the urge of just stomping on the gas! The recaro's are sweet and fit my 6'1 200lb frame perfectly. I could keep on listing things I love about the car, but lets just say I love it all!!!!

Honestly, I don't see how the big guys can stand it. I'm a small dude and damn if it don't hug the hell out of your sides. I'm 5' 4" and 150. I feel bad for you 6 fooot 250 pound dudes. I can see how it would suck on long distance drives for bigger people. You go numb. As for smaller people, fits like a glove.

As far as the dealers not leting you sit in it. I'd say "damn dude it aint a Ghini". j/k

I know it is a MItsu area!

When I was stationed in Germany, back in 1989 LMAO, the person in the LEFT lane was at fault in case of a rear end accident. This was because the laws there said if you to slow, you better not go, in the left lane! That was in a 89! Feeling old now. LOL paxton super charged

Not to worry. I'm 6'6" and 240 lbs. I got a chance to sit in one this weekend, and found it to be extremely comfy and not cramped at all. I was very pleased with the leg and head room.

It's more than comfy for me too. I don't feel myself getting numb at all.

Hahahaha! You bully. Not a fair match if you ask me. It looks like you're the ricer here and we all know that flashing your hazards is a ricer move. I wouldn't be surprise if a Honda gives you a good spanking on high speeds and serves you on a silver platter.

Don't get me wrong though about the Evo. Sometime this year, I'll be a future evo owner but don't be dissing on Hondas. We all know they are slow from the factory and not forget what started the whole import craze here in the states. Wasn't it Honda?
