I don't know about you but I'm sure as hell I use every part of my hand to shift my manual transmission...Not sure how you go about not using your fingers!

I'm getting an MR from there when it arrives. My understanding is that anyone who qualifies gets $500 off for loyalty/education/military, each. I believe as of now you could buy a X GSR from them for as little as $28,500 if you qualified for everything. That's is f'ing insane! There are used VIII's and IX's with 30-40k miles going for that much. Who is the president of the car depreciation board? I think they are being swayed by

However, I wish SCM would give me better info on prices and availability, given my kind words and $500 deposit they have been drawing interest on.

Oh and this was a killer post....awesome. I've thought about driving up to Cypress, but never dreamed they would just let you in. Haha, I wonder how many people show up this week after seeing this.

These components are allegedly what they've tested in some combination, not necessarily all together. AMS provided/tested everything but the flash and said they figured they added 50-60 hp. Anyway, the point of the post was that Mitsu did some testing and figured that the SST was fine up to 350 bhp. How you get there is your business, I guess.

basically the MMSA HQ parking lot is wide open, anyone can drive there and check out the cars if they want. I've never had any security force me out when I was there snapping pics of the EVO 6 and 7 a few years ago, and also earlier this year with the Xs.

I'm surprised that you could actually get some answers from the guys there.

I'm sure the employees would've forced me out if they knew what I was up to.
