Im not worried about the power, I've had three turbo Eclipses and they all dynoed higher than the stock Evo. (yes, even my Spyder). I've also driven one several times already including a few test drives.

I picked mine up on the 6th, they called me all frantic on the 5th saying someone wants to buy it and it had just come off the trailer, but since i gave a deposit they had to hold it till i had time to get there and close the deal. Did you get yours from tysons/stohnmans?

Nice, man. I got mine from Stoneman as well

I don't think they gave a crap if you had a deposit or not. It was first come first served type of deal. I was #4 on the waitlist, and I got car #1. They told me the white car was sold so I couldn't even buy it if I wanted to.

Damn fools trying to pressure us into buying! They didn't have to pressure hard though; I wanted one anyway

I'm not saying that it's the fastest car; there are plenty of faster cars. What I am saying is that the car so well composed that you won't notice how fast you're going, how fast you're cornerning, etc. The perception of speed is very deceptive because the chassis is so well put together.

Suspension and chassis tuning is an art that many manufacturers don't put into their street cars. I think Missyou*****y did a great job with this car

yeah I know...I wasnt trying to give an assanine response. I've driven a few before and I do agree with you. They are slower than they seem at speed. I agree the chassis tuning is obviously good. Mitsubishi doesnt have the quality that the rest of Japan does however. Quality and refinment and fit and finish etc is simply far superior in my TSX than any of my mitsubishi's. (My GSX and TSX costed about the same). Mitsubishi would be rolling around in money if they could better there dealer network and offer greater overall reliability and build quality.

Hey man it feels no different than a GS-R. If you're free next week, I'll let you drive mine gently if you let me drive yours gently I want to hear the exhaust because that's the one I want.

Let's get in touch. Send me an emai me at keng6civcx@yahoo.com or AIM me at keng6civcx

g6civcx: unfortunately, my clutch is slipping right now, so I can't drive hard - may or not be fixed by next week. I'd still like to meet up and drive under 3000rpms... you'll *definitely* hear the exhaust! Or, many of us are going to be out at crossroadsracing meet near Dulles Town Center around 6:30. You can see/hear different exhausts there. I'm sure everyone else who is going would be interested in checking out the RS.
