• Electronically controlled variable-rate shock absorbers. High-accuracy progressive-rate coil springs.
• Front double-wishbone/rear multi-link configuration with aluminum members and rigid aluminum subframes.

Yes thats one fast car but the Evo X will do it in 7:34 And it will go from 0-170 mph in 10 sec. after minor upgrades I like nissan but i am waiting to see how Evo X will respond to upgrades. 2 things will happen. Either I will stay with or I will move on and forget about the whole Fast and furious crowd.
