You have to rev the engine past 5000 RPM to even get it to move or else it just stalls on you....
Ive seen it and thats a fact
yeah honestly .. it's just looks like they updated the fascia a little bit .. and that Evolultion XI or whatever on the back license plate kinda looks photochopped to me. I thought each generation Evo always looked significantly different?
I've "heard" some stuff about the IX recently. Supposedly they took out the Yaw Control and was tested. The car severly oversteers (pushes,plows) and I guess they are leaving it that way. Not sure what is going on but that can't be good.
Looks like they showed the car at Mitsubishi headquarters on SoCal.
I drive by the place everyday...why didn't I notice this
The ESX STI is just a modded and tuned STI by Easystreet Motorsports.
I think there is a dealer in SoCal that sells STIs with the ESX Package and you get full warranty from that dealer.
You could easily buy a STI and call up Easystreet right now if you want it.

Rep Power: 0 They have to get rid of those damn 'vortex generators' if they want the car to appeal to anyone over the age of 21, the car is starting to look like a giant cartoon, a caricature of an actual car.
I'm waiting for the Evo X (even though we don't get it here in Canada). Word is they're finally killing the 4G63 in favour of a smaller, direct injection engine.

Rep Power: 0 Looks a little cleaner now, such as the front bumper (except for those holes in the middle). From other pics I've seen, those canards on the side of the front bumper are not standard either. I think without those two holes in the front bumper, that giant rear wing, and those hideous tailights the car would look perfect. Oh well who I am to complain, we don't even get that car up here.
