Hey all, I had a 2005 WW RS brand new and had to get rid of it due to high prices for the tires and payments. It's been 5 years, but college degree and new job promotion I'm back in the game!!

Orange nugget! (Sorry for the iPhone quality, my '07 Hero Blue Buell in the background)

 

so what do you do that helped you get back in the game?

 

Systems/Network Administration

 

X's are sweet... I bet you enjoy rolling that around.

 

I enjoyed my 05 RS, but man this X is a completely new animal. I've always wanted this orange metallic color on an evo ever since I saw it on the SRT4's and Mazdaspeed's.

 

How different are the two in your opinion? Speed, power, handling...
I've had the 03 for 7years and never drove the X. Thanks!

 

It feels like the X just has a wider power band that doesn't drop off like my RS did. The RS was pretty much stock, so after about 5k rpm the power tapered off, this one doesn't feel that way. (Only got to about 5.2k rpm)

This evo doesnt have as much body roll in my opinion. Everything else I'm not really sure yet since I'm still breaking it in. Car overall feels more rigid, but not as jarring on bumpy roads.

I definately get more looks with this one than I did with the RS.
