i wonder if it will come with a new 6-speed manual. it should NOT have the same tranny as the GSR with a price tag like that.

I would trade in my IX for a FQ 400 if it had a stick. I might even throw in $10k on top of the trade in

EDIT: change the "on top" money. That is probably about what it would cost after trade in to make a X GSR 400 hp

don't forget about the factory warranty. I'd be concerned with warranty with aftermarket upgrades.

Thoses who seen Top Gear know what I'm talking about. Engine stalling, abscene turbo lag and the rest of the crap that came along with it. New car, hopefully it will take to the upgrades better than the previous models....but who knows?

I guess we'll just have to see...

If I start in 6th gear at 30 MPH my car won't go either. All that shows is that the fiat had a shorter top gear. The ix fq 360 was well received, and I bet with the Variable exhaust and intake valve timing they can get 400 hp without the issues.

if all you're looking for is the power, you could get an EVO X to that power level a LOT cheaper than buying one of these. cool car, but not worth the money. if i'm spending 80k on a car, i'd be getting a GTR.

Agreed, you can do this much cheaper with just a GSR and put some money into parts.
