Better tranny and clutch. Less cabin noise. Cruise. Auto windows. Hight and angle adjustable seats. Commuter package with slightly softer springs and shocks. Ski sack. More low end torque. RA add on packages with more power and warranty.

I agree too but it was designed that way to fit average height driver wearing a helmet.

As for the Evo IX....please don't make it look like the Lancer RalliArt or any other regular Mitsu out on the road now and in a couple of years.

I'll be the first to admit that I will trade my EVO for the new Skyline GTR (as soon as I have 30K to put down)

I could give two ****s less about more power, that is easily remedied with mods. Weight reduction like the aluminum roof can't be performed aftermarket however, so my vote definately goes to the weight department. Also a two door model would absolutely kick ***!

I would hope for less weight most likely... They could really keep about the same power, maybe a little more and drop about 400 lbs off the weight and that car would be awesome.
