Hey guys-

#1. I was wondering if any of you x owners that previously had a 8/9 could tell me if the way the x launches is not as aggressive as the 8/9?

I have been looking at videos on youtube and such and it seems that the way the x launched is more mild if you will.

#2. I hear people saying that the x is automatic but i see that there is a manual shifter and 5- speed.

Any input?



Thanks.

 

i had a 9 and mabye 100% stock the 9 launches harder but after a tune that problem is gone and the MR evo x is auto the gsr is 5 speen

 

I could possibly answer question #2 the X comes in auto and manual trans...the GSR is Manual and the MR is shifttronic auto paddle shifting!!
I own a 8 and not sure about the X launch!!

 

Thanks alot for this info guys.

 

the X GSR, has a standard 5sp manual....

the X MR, has the 6sp. SST - not an automatic, but an automated manual, an F1 if you will.... read here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin_Clutch_SST
