the problem with evo's are "evo envy!" the evo is so good looking and mean that german enthusiasts and owner of german cars just don't get it. they thought that my stock IX MR is "rice". nope they are oem parts sir not aftermarket installs!

somebody left a note in my car saying too bad I cannot afford a real european sports car? doesn't he know how much the MR costs and how many cars I currently own? they would even wave and stop me and ask where I had all the parts and pieces installed. nope those are oem parts! fortunately for me I just installed a compustar and plan to add a camera soon to catch those "evo envy" euro owners.

Mitsu supposedly is going to address the auto feature in the X by offering some sort of DSG option , but the price isn't going to get any better after they add on more content. And if you're all about performance, it's hard to argue with a manu-matic tranny like a DSG that can snap off shifts much faster than any manual can.
