I chose the GSR 5 speed because I know for a fact the tranny is tougher. Having said that I will admit that the SST automatic almost caught me. I've driven some very high end automatics and the SST in the Evo X MR is soooo good that I could live with it happily. Much of the time I had to admit that the damn thing was doing a better job than I could and I'm pretty quick with a clutch. Still, my car is getting a flash tune and I'm worried that the MR tranny really isn't all that tough. It's also nearly impossible to service, so I rather go through a clutch than a whole tranny. The car IS amazing. My buddy drives a AWD 911 Turbo and in spite of that car's power advantage, the Evo seems to make high speed cornering even better...and it's got two extra doors and back seats. After the small mod to the computer my Evo will have 370 HP. The stock tune is pretty weak. I drove one with the mod and it was far better...quicker to be sure. I'm getting it with Navigation, Fosgate audio and the Aero/SSS package. I was angry that the GSR had no leather option, so I've arranged for the install of the European Mitsubishi leather for another 1300 bucks. The standard cloth is not very good. You'll love it...a truly great car to drive and Thomas fits in the back seat! The Good Captain 35s5 NY Yep, great car. I went for the sst after driving the car. I ticked all the boxes on the option form, but won't know what I'll be getting until the car is actually released here and the order can be firmed up with what we can actually get. I'll let you know. OzOne of the three twins Ozzy, the SST is a ton of fun and a better daily driver than the GSR since it has a taller final gear for highway cruising. It's truly an amazing system better than any other. Which color did you pick??!!! R. |
