X transmission.
Well, as always, I'll wait until it's made fact. I'm still going to hold out hope for a 6-speed. As for the weights, if true, that puts the RS *UNDER* the weight of the IX MR, and the GT manual at ~3344lbs which is very close to my guess at 3350! 
Does this "source" of yours say where the 100Kg difference is between the RS and GT?
I doubt the GPS system/amp/speakers weigh more than 50lbs.
Cruise control on a DBW car with ABS is just a couple switches and some ECU programming.
AC might weigh about 20-30lbs. The older system shaved just under 30lbs when removed.
Maybe there's more weight reduction in the RS than the GT? I may get an RS, but I'll want to trade front bumpers with someone who has the GT.
I hope these numbers are right. Though even if they are it won't matter. That 3500lb number is going to be spouted from every Evo X hater and numbwit until the end of time.
But we'll see. Here's hoping those numbers are real.

The weight comes from the glass thickness, aircon, soundproofing etcetc .. the standard IX RS weighs 100kg lighter than the GT/GSR too .. only in US do you guys screw up the nomenclature for the cars
RS = FULLY STRIPPED DOWN RACE PREP CAR .. It doesn't even come with brembos and Enkei !!!! .. the windows are MANUAL wind up/down
I think the scan is big enough to figure out the numbers .. if not just PM me ..
39mil yen for the all singing all dancing model .. hefty price to pay .. who needs leather and rockford sound system in a race car anyway..
Preliminary inspection (YAY!!!!!) shows suspension and brakes may be brought over from the 7/8/9 to the X .. fingers crossed !!
This reference the trim levels that the GSR will come .. 3 levels.. top of the line I talked about .. leather and sound system
So all in.. you're probably looking at 4 trim levels ..
So if I read correctly, it will be RS , GSR spec base to premium ..
BTW the sports mode and super sports mode is NOT only for automatic mode.. it's for how the gear engages .. from ***** shifts to hardcore jaw dropping shifts
I like the option of a 2 piece rotor
though I'll be porting across the alcons

Thanks for the scans gunzo!
So there are 2 types of rotors that can be selected as options, and October is the release date for Japan.
GSR-SST is $34,401
GSR 5MT is $32,638
RS 5MT is $25,581
If history is any indication from previous evos those prices will marked-up $1-2k when released in the US, ranging from $27K and topping out at $36K.

DAMN, looks so sick. GSR for those who want decent umph and a DD, and RS for those who want track-stars or rally stagers. Is that 2650kg the curb weight?? That's near 3400lbs. This could be off the chain!
Could someone with Japanese language skills do a photochop and translation for those of us English only types?
