i have to agree with the few who dont understand the bashing of this guy.... he didnt rev like a ricer for the kicks constantly. besides most of you guys are hypocrites as most of you guys enabled 2-step and have used it atleast ONCE!..... no load reving is ALOT less wear then a 2-step.....
maybe evo X does have a lil bug

Here is my story:
Bought the X with SSS early May in Dallas on my way home from honeymoon (I live in Santa Fe, NM). Broke the car in nicely on the 600 mile ride home and had it flashed soon after at the dealership. Also got a high-altitude flash. At least so they say. Beside the usual things like the notchy 2-3 shift, etc. all seemed well until I reved it at the light and noticed how it took long for idle to drop back to normal. I read up in the forum and learned that it may have something to do with the excess fuel and the cats on the exhaust. Next I reved it 3 to 4 times to like 5K, when a warning light came on showing Traction a triangle with a car weaving out of control.
I turned the car off and it was gone until the dealership had to clear it out of the memory, but you could recreate it anytime. The tried everything and could not explain it. The district service manager gave it his best shot, with the same result. They first tried to give me the old " That's normal", but after me questioning that logic on a brand new sports car, they gave in.
They flew in the regional service manager and a japanese engineer, who worked on it for 3 days. When I came to pick it up, they said it was fixed and can't be recreated.
This is after putting 200 miles on my 800 mile car and another mechanic scratching my entire rocker panel up (I mean deep chunks, from metal boot loops. hanging out the door.). I get in my car and recreate the warning light in my driveway and bring it right back.
After some negotiating with the mitigation department, they agree to replace it with a new one. After more negotiating they agree to get me a new black one with aero kit and mud flaps in addition to the original SSS package.
I finally received my new car last week. it came straight of the truck with 13 miles on it, my old one had 32 miles. I now have 250 miles on it and thought, better not try that revving for my own sanity. But when the mediation guy called me to check on the new car, I had to try it. It does the same thing as the old one?!?
Now I don't want a new one, but I can't imagine they would replace a car, without trying it on another car to see if it does it.
What do you guys think? I am coming from a 95 Z-28 and 94 Cobra and know less about turbo's and AWD cars. Please comment!!!
P.S. The new car has not been flashed yet by the dealership.

This happens to me every once and awhile. I also have bad idle issues. The problem my car is modded so I'm scared to take it back to the dealership because I know their gonna pull the car is modded crap, we can't help you. I should have kept my IX that car was a tank I could drive it like I stole it and I never had any problems. This car is starting to **** me off so bad I'm honestly thinking about making it stock again and selling it.
