I doubt it.

 

I love the X and I can't wait to get one. I already talked my wife into trading her STi in on the X so I'll pretty much be set as soon as they arrive. The only problem is that it will tecnically be "her" car and I'll have to pry the keys from her hands I'm sure. That's alright though, at least I'll still have a IX MR to fall back on.

 

well, we'll see what mitsu does and when the X drops hopefully as someone before said spring time next year. i cant wait to see one, i mean dont get me wrong im staying with my 05 evo 8 but i wanna see how these new evos are gonna be and perform. also i wanna see how the public takes to them.

 

work hard at "NIGHT" and everthign should be "just ok"

i still think early 07 release in the US is very possible but i still think we are not getting the same version as the Japanese maybe still left off with AYC

 

This Thread is huge and i only read about half ... Can anyone tell me The performance on this... Im in love with the paddle shifting i will trade my IX in a second if this car had some good performance ... thanks

 

Paddle shifting limits you hardcore during steering rotation. It's one of the reasons I opted for the 6 MT over the 6 spd DSG.

 

VERY good point

 

what in the world are you talking about? It's faster to reach down to the gearshift, push in the clutch, shift, then release the clutch while moving your hand back to the steering wheel than just flipping a paddle? And why are you worried about mid-turn shifts anyway? Most of the time you won't be needing to shift during a turn. But again, if you DO need to, the paddle is closer than the gearshift and still much faster.

 

So if your steering wheel is upside down it's easier to switch hands or keep track of which paddle is which during heavy shifting than it is to reach down and shift like we all have been for years.

 

cant wait to see one on the streets.

 

If the paddles are on the steering wheel and you shuffle-steer you have a point...Evo X paddle shifters are on the column though...don't see the delimna...

 

That's why the M3 has a 'floor' shifter and the paddles. Hopefully mitsu does the same thing.

 

^^ you guys aren't getting it...the paddles don't move...think of it this way, is it faster to turn on your blinker or shift gears on a manual transmission?

EDIT: Is there anyone here that finds it cramps their style to turn on their blinker in the middle of a turn? Or, if you are turning left, do you ever turn on your windshield wiper because your steering wheel was turned?

 

it seems that nobody knows nothing about the new X engine ? u have some info about that ? because in fall 07 nissan will enter the Skyline in the US again so.... nice competion for Evo because Subaru is so lame

 

I find the people who mock the dsg are digging really far for faults now. First it was the "nothing beats manual." Then it was the "fun factor," the "launch control," and the "real drivers don't use auto macho-BS" And now we're progressing to "dude I can't shift when i'm cornering."
Wtf. If you don't like the paddles, just use the damn shift knob!
