I think that eventually all of the evos will end up haveing 6 speeds. and it would be cool if it could be lighter but i would go more for the 6 speed

I would like to see more power (290 -310) plus a 6 speed for all models. Also it would be cool to have the gauges (boost, oil, EGT) built into the dash like the 3000GT.

Stock power for the Evo is already awesome but more power is always better.

Lower weight, cruise control and the freaking roof lowered by 2 inches ..... is me or is the freaking roof rediculously high, making the car look like a damn box .... I mean seriously the tallest person I have seen drive an EVO still has like approx 4 inches of clearance space from his head to the roof! I mean lower the roof would lower the CG and improve handling and make the car look soooooooooooo much better .....

That would be good as well as less weight and more power. Something around the 1360kg (2998lb) of the Evolution VI would be better (or even lighter if they can do it ) and around 250kw (330hp).

Id love to see the Evo IX get some more power, anything over 300. Plus it would be great to have all the Evos equiped with 6 speeds.
