82k? Unless cars are just retarded expensive where its sold and its still in M3/STi/IS-F range I don't see why anyone would buy it.

A 82k factory Mitsubishi....i just threw up a little.
You realize that you're paying $41,600 USD for a base BRZ there right?

If you didn't buy an Evo FQ440, you're comparison cars aren't M3, STi, IS-F. Well, maybe STi.

You can get a 535d for $82,000 USD in the UK or a CTS AWD or Cayman S PDK.

FYI, IS-F and M3 DCT are about another $14,500 USD ON TOP of the FQ440 price tag.

I dunno, FQ440 still seems like a decent deal.

FYi, the highest power STi offering from the factory is the Impreza STi 340R, which is $47,600 USD.

Why is it so hard for people to understand that it's not a straight conversion...it's not $82K for the love of God...

i'm not sure if you read the article and anyone else for that matter "Special edition FQ-440 MR features include an ECU re-map, tubular Janspeed exhaust manifold, swollen HKS turbo, bigger intercooler - all help boost the turbocharged 2.0-litre four-pot to a huge 440bhp and 412lb ft. Alcon brakes all-round with six-piston calipers up front, new 18-inch BBS rims, Xenon lamps" so no if you had to buy all the part that in this packet,and put on base evo it would cost hell of a lot more..... knowing that Mitsubishi Uk change the internal on the evo 9 fq 400, it wouldn't surprise me if they did it on the X also. Don't quote me on this but i don't think the standard SST 6 speed handle the 412lb ft without a little tweaking...

guys guys seriously it NOT a straight conversion the price...... US and Uk price are on 1:1 ratio meaning, they price almost EXACTLY the same so if it was suppose to sell here would be 55-60k that still cheaper then Porsche and GTR money....

I'd wait for a wrecked one so i could salvage the brakes. All the other stuff is pretty common.

I'm disappointed this was as close as it was but didn't quite make it to the 4 year mark. I also have nothing useful to add here.
