how about a beefier clutch, a beefier transfer case, fuel injectors with better durability, absolutely NO P0300 code, and finally better customer service support in the event something should break (although if improve all of the above then it shouldn't).

Less weight by far, the evo is a little piggie. Less weight would make it handle better (only in certain places) and make it use what power it has more efficiently. 'Aint nothing wrong with that haha

As for asking for more techno gizmo stuff, it's going to cost more money. Are you willing to pay for more money?

Of course, most of you already know about the limited edition (about 100) FQ-400 (niche market). It has a price of about 47 british pounds = close to 91K USD. Are you going to pay that much w/o import fee, luxury tax, and possibly gas guzzler tax.

The FQ-300. Price about 29 british pounds = about 54K USD. There are other niche market Evos, but all past demographics studies in America have stated: niche market cars don't survive in America. Look at the FTO in Japan. Mitsu had about 8 different versions of it from base to top model . . . damn, Mitsu is using the same formula for the lancer.

Here are the FQ-320 and 340 . . . just find a currency converter. There will be sticker shock.

Saw this vid at a friend's house on a site that I don't like at all. It'a British car show on the FQ-400. Towards the end, the host did something that none of us will ever do using a bigger turbo. Roll 30 mph at top gear! Also, if you want a beefier clutch, there is something in the vid that you'll have to get used to all the dang time.
BTW: one of the poster is ignorant. One British pound does not equal to 1 USD.
Warning: it's about 30-40 megs if I have remembered correctly.
BTW II: How are you going to lose more weight since most like more techno whizbang into an Evo? It will never fall under 2800 lbs w/ AWD. MAke it a coupe? Never will happen!
