What mods do you have, if any? Potholes? Do you have the brake air guides?

Having had similar noises in an 89 camry, it turned out to be some f-d up motor mounts. Have you done any clutch dropping or launches? Give us some details, maybe we can give you some clues or ideas.

no launches at all, have not abused the car at all. tires are still practically brand new...my friends make fun of me for babying the car so much.

Since it's pretty repeatable, take it to your dealer, any dealer that you like if better than where you bought it. Tell them YOU'RE driving it to show them the noise.

Ah... to have a full warranty still. I can only dream ;-) 40,000 a week or two ago. Love the baby, no issues (knock on wood). Great engineering. Something is amiss so fix it quick.

I have heard this on another 2010 GSR. I could be the ECU cycling through the various ACD modes but I can't say this for sure. I have not heard any 2008 GSRs make such noise.

No problem here and no.. it is not normal. Take it in and check it out. I could see it being axles or some thing like stated.

it does it if i turn right or left..isn't it almost impossible for both axles to go out at the same time?

Yeah, pretty unlikely. That's why I think it's a structural problem, motor mounts allowing the whole engine drivetrain to move and cause axle interferrence.

I don't know -- it's over my tech level abilities without looking under it. This is the first Evo I've ever owned. Let the pro's help you out.
