Does he live in Denver? I would like to meet up and laugh at his automatic track car. (He can laugh back because his car would murder mine around a road course but he doesn't need to know that.)

ok so you at least have sat in some sort of recaros..

but hey talk to him about all those things..i could care less if they have problems i will never be buying an x.., it may beat us around a track but were talkin straight lines, straights lines are funner anyway

and yes he lives in arvada if you come up i will def. let you have a talk with him i think the only thing i like about the mr's are their rims..they are pretty sick

i told him to get an 04/05 sti so our cars could be brothers..but hes stuck on mitsu..no changing his mind..poor guy

sad part was, was that i was madly in love with evo's before i got my sti..never even considered sti's until i pretty much bought mine

I was an Evo IX fan all the way. An MR was going to be my car after my Corvette but I had many people at the track tell me evos were pieces of crap. That was coming from present and past owners. As you can see from the pictures of brand new Evo X's, they are indeed, pieces of crap with no warranty from the factory.

EDIT: you should show him all the horror posts on Evolutionm and ask him if he really wants that pos to be his next car. I bet he could still find a IX MR around Denver with very, very low miles.

Im sad to see that mitsu is moving backwords. I have a lotta evo9 driver friends, and they dont like it either...booo mit****bishi.

That's what stopped me. I like the new Evo X for looks, but I couldn't stand dealing with all the quality problems. Maybe when I was still driving Mustangs I could have been tempted, because I was sorta used to regularly visiting the dealer for warranty work. But my STI has spoiled me. Almost 50K miles and damn near flawless. This is how owning a car should be...

My mustang was the same way. I like to call it the worst car I have ever owned. The only time my STI has been to the dealer was to replace the struts. I got no questions asked and the job was done that same day.

i have been telling him to just get an 06 mr or se with low miles..not only would it save him all the problems from the x's but it would at least save him anywhere from 15-20 grand..apparently his dad has some money tho and wont let him buy a used car ......

Then tell the morons dad to buy him a base model C6 Corvette. A new X MR is going to be very close in price to a base model C6.

I mean, I'm sure it's a high quality transmission that they will warranty when it starts to fail after 10k miles.

So driving an enzo would be boring

Im a huge fan of the twin clutch paddle gearboxes. then again im a rally nut so.

It would be boring if it could be compared to a 6 speed Enzo.

Good point. I guess you could pull up to a Mitsu dealership in a C6 Z06 and they would find a way to say trade it in for an EVO X MR because the MR is better.

Yeah, I would think an 04 would pull an x mr in a straight line.
