IX ftw. if you thought the X's boost gave you a rush, wait till you drive a IX with minimal bolt-on's and tune (turbo back exhaust and boost controller). the X will need to make more power to pull like the IX since it's 250lbs-ish heavier (the weight is the main turn-off for me...s-ayc is nice but 250 extra lbs is not)
Yeah, the Evo X weights 3600 pounds which is hella much considering the HP is only at 300. If the car weighted close to the the IX and had 295 HP it would be pretty fast, but at 295 HP and 3600 pounds, the evo X is a PIG!

i've read about a lot of folks on evolutionm.net getting real good prices recently. with the economy the way it is, you're sure to get a good deal. evos aren't moving off the lots and you should capitalize.

Thanks! Everytime I look at it, it looks like the radiator. Not as bold and pronounced as on the IX

Yeah, you really only notice it once you're close.
