Well, that is as much a tuning issue then anything. That COULD be altered by the same means as altering A/F or boost levels. Its just a matter of changing values in a computer.

However, I know what you mean. I drove my buddies S2K and another friend of mine has a 2000 WRX - both of which are DBC and they both at a much more sensitive throttle and also MUCH firmer pedal feel.

Maybe i'm starting to go a little old school.

 

I know this is the Evo X forum, but others have brought up alternatives in this thread so I'll chime in with a thought -

The new Tiburon. I know, WTF??? But from what I've read it is getting the 4B11T, will be RWD, have a stick, and I would assume be on the lighter side. Sounds like the new drifter car!! Probably a poor daily driver, but if you're just looking for some fun it might be an option. Looks have gone up to match it as well. I would assume pricing in the low to mid $20's.

 

buy a gtr thats what i'm planning on

 

Can I rent your crystal ball?

 

We're in the same age group.

I don't know about you, but I feel lost in the sea of poseurs. At least it's comfortable knowing that the toolbags on this site don't represent Evo owners as a whole.

 

I hear you man. Could be a sweet car. The question is how is going to handle - a dept. which Hyundai doesnt have much experience. I doubt it is going to be a light vehicle though, especially considering it is based off the V8, rear drive, Genesis platform. Most likely anywhere from 3300 to 3500lbs.

 

I don't know man, most of the people on this site and the majority of Evo owners that i've met are pretty cool. Most people i've talked to buy the Evo for its performance, not for image...there are lot of other options for the image-oriented (350z, Mustang, Corvette, etc.). In fact, I'd have to say that as a whole, Evo owners are the most informed, performance astute, group of enthusiasts out there .

 

My next car will be either an EVOX or STI. Maybe I will wait for a bi-turbo 3.0 LegacySTI!

My current LegacyGT weighs 3300 lbs, yes a Canadian Model, and yes with AWD and a 2.5 liter.

I believe my car is also bigger then the EVOX.

Disappointed indeed!

 

Very nice!

Anyone have any info on how to get the Factory Aero kit?

 

It must be nice to have that kinda coin to throw around. haha

I don't think new GT-R is exactly competition for the Evo X. While they're both great cars in they're own right, you can't honestly think for a second the head honcho's at Nissan were thinking "man, we really need to worry about the new evo coming out...we have to blow that thing out of the water!"

Either way, I look forward to seeing both of them....but I'd expect the new GT-R to be priced around the mid $80k.
