damn you use the brakes a lot man,... isn't it boring going so slow?

[journauto]

@tstkl The object is to not hit any cones, but also stay within them. Don't make me explain it any more! Geez. Watch my GTI vid an you'll see it's not so slow.

@kenmastersmaster yea, you'll get more luxury but not performance over the evo

[journauto]

@kenmastersmaster For the turbo engine and TC-SST transmission no doubt. And, only the Evos get all of the electronics including AYC. It's like asking why you'd take a STI over a WRX, no? This ain't cheap along with the BImmer, which will likely cost more in parts and maintenance over time. The Infiniti G can't roll (at speed) with either car - I like the M more anyhow.

[kenmastersmaster]

@journauto why would anyone pay $45 grand for an MR that's sourced from a $15g lancer.

I understand buying a GSR or Ralliart if you want an automaticand staying around $30 grand.

$45g is insane. You could get a 335xi, g37S awd, etc. for the same or less money and get more luxury and performance.

[journauto]

Indeed! The GSR is a loud and angry animal, but the TC-SST on the MR is ballistic! I'll take the latter for its sixth gear and quieter ride. Do you track yours?

[princeofroyalty2]

@Rafdaganga actually the evo X GSR " manual is a bit quicker" than the MR " automatic w/ gay ass paddle shifters"

I own an Evo X GSR....

[TuttleXD]

to many cones, to confusing 0.0

[youngonesunique]

Would like to get my Wife an evo x mr within the next couple years. They are very nice cars. But I would never ever trade in my evo 8 for one... Maybe if I hadnt put so much money in it.

[bazboyevo9]

only the the misubishi evo8 mr fq400 can do 175 but the over modles would give the lambo a run for its money. if i was to by a evo i would get iver a evo9 fq 320 or a evo10 fq 320 or fq 340 depends on how much money have tho.
