i certainly agree that if i decide on a new x it will be a gsr with as little options as i can get. but the thing that gets me is the general preferences in options that people want. its all good though. if i do decide to get the x it just means i get to spend more time in the garage tinkering with it!

^^Then you won't have a warranty...not that you do really anyways.
Jebus I wish they would have added some type of 6sp. The only reason holding me from getting the X is I hate the transmission. Way too short geared for what I use the car for and cruising down the highway at 3500rpm isn't my thing. Put a worthy 6sp in it and I'd have one in driveway asap! I guess I would settle for an MR that could handle 400hp though...thats wishful thinking I suspect though

I have to quote you on this cause I read this everywhere I see people talking about the MR.
Look, it's very simple:
The car you're looking for is the GSR; Nothing has happened to the Evo; there's the purist version (GSR) and the alternative for those who want a bit more comfort and features (MR);

MR's for the Evo X are gay. That's for guys that can't drive stick or are not comfortable driving stick IMO. I don't do automatic.
If that was the case all the f1, indy cars, and sports exotic cars wouldn't have paddle shifters. I live for a manual, I rev matched every down shift, I never missed gears, I loved my VIII.
With the new MR I can out shift anyone in a normal manual. I can concentrate on left foot braking. Two big bonuses for the track. I never put it in automatic mode. It is always in manual mode because I am the master of the car not the transmission. I can shift and anticipate events much sooner than the transmission can. Oh yah, the MR has a higher top speed too
. I was very much against the whole SST idea until I drove one. You don't have to like it, but you need to respect it.
Have either of you guys even tried the SST? And I don't mean on a 
test drive, but really tried it in a fast paced environment? Can you shift your Evos into 5th gear in 4 seconds? 
Ever play Gran Turismo? You shift with the same fingers
