rather keep my 9 or trade for a GT-R when it's out.

 

i dont own a evo yet but i do own a 06 sti and im just waiting for the X to come here in canada.

 

Someone i can relate to at last!

 

i wouldnt get a X because i cant beleive that mitsu ditched the 4g63 for this 4b11 thing. that motor had tons of potential especially with aftermarket. o and its ugly as hell. although i do like the interior.

 

That's ok, lots more people were upset when GM retired the venerable Small Block 350 in favor of the Aluminum LS1. Now look what those LS series engines are doing now!

 

im a big fan of the 4G63 engine also used to own a evo-3 back home.but i guess they have better plans this time.the car is not out yet give it a couple of months after it arrive and people start to tune em and see what it can do..

 

im passing on the X because im getting a motorcycle and buying a gas-efficient vehicle

 

I roofled at this thread.

 

Exactly.

 

i got an 8 now, i get the 9 over the X, its just ugly and it might now be 5 or 6 speed

 

Engrish?

 

because I need to crash my 240 before my wife will let me get another car....

 

I LOVE the X but I'm buying an IX for 2 reasons:

1) Don't want to buy new

2) Don't trust the new engine

I understand the 350 to LS1 comparison, but this is a first run new engine that's totally unproven and as of yet has no aftermarket support. The 4G63's aftermarket support is so thick you could practically build one from scratch without even using a Mitsubishi marked part.

I think the X will be a killer car, but the engine needs some time to prove itself.

As far as the lack of a foot-pedal'd manual, anyone who thinks Mitsubishi is making a wrong move needs to go drive a MkV GTI/GLI/.:R32 with the DSG transmission. Sure, clutches are fun, but upshifting faster than a human can blink has it's own charms.

Vostok 7

 

only reason i wolnt buy one is becasue of money i think the car looks awesome & seems fun to drive i give mitsu a free bump for the x
i also like the reas on that theres no more 4g63 makes my ix more valuble

 

man this engine thing is like when honda went from the B to K series engines. Sure the B's were proven reliable, but now its a straight up K series world.
