They're so new and hard to get that dealers are tagging on a $10k premium to the sticker, but I was able to weasle mine down. It was about $35k and some change with options. I believe sticker for this trim with no options is $34k

Yea dude. I've had my eye on the STi since it first hit the US, then they screwed up the entire front end's looks. When it came time to pull the trigger, there wasn't much of a choice for me. The Evo X was beautifully redesigned (to me), and performance comparisons between the 2 have the Evo...

The 440 was in my 2nd vehicle 20 years ago. Uh... yea, night and day difference. Big block Mopar power with Mickey street drag radials on a 4000+ pound boat. LOL. I've owned everything from old American muscle to import sports to "luxury" to monster trucks. So, yea, I guess you can say I'm...

Yea dude. Now I know what this car can do. After break-in, it'll only open up on a track. This is like my 18th vehicle and probably the fastest yet. My Eclipse GSX turbo with some mods was pretty quick and so was the 70 Coronet (Challenger, basically) with 440, but nothing like the Evo X...

Yea, at 7:15am with no other cars on the road, but the one unmarked SUV. Truly, though, like I said earlier, it was the first time I put the throttle down in 5th. I absolutely did not expect it to get that fast before I could even take a breath and get out of it.

I got no papers from this dude, so I have no physical evidence, sorry. True story though. Take it or leave it. And, for the record, I drive like a grandma with my 5YO in the car. Was just showing off a little for the GF. I know better now. hahaha

Yea, they said break-in @ 500 miles and to keep it under 5K RPM until then. 105 in 5th was still well under *heheh*

Dude. I am NOT kidding LOL. I didn't believe it myself. But the guy didn't have radar on, so I don't know what he would bring to court. He just saw me fly past him and was friggin' yelling and cussing at me when he pulled me over. My girl was in the passenger seat hiding my detector...

That is correct. And 4WD can be turned off to 2WD either manually or electronically.

Not really. AWD is always on, but it's not necessarily locked center diff. The ratio can be 60%/40% to the rear or otherwise. It's pretty much the same as 4WD, all 4 weels get power all the time, but how much will vary with AWD. 4WD is locked (usually), with a 50/50 distribution ratio and...

Thanks dude HAHAHA... Yea, I actually have one of the best detectors on the market, the Beltronics Pro RX65... but this dude didn't have radar. Didn't need it. Honestly, it was the first time I really opened it up in 5th. I went from 55 to over 100 in just a couple seconds. I did NOT expect...

Yea, it's not for everyone. But, if it's between the Evo X and STi, the Evo gets it, hands down. Coulda' gone with a lot of other choices for the price range. BMW 3, Lexus IS350, Infiniti G35, Audi blah blah... but my son asked me to buy a race car. LOL... so he got one.

It friggin' snowed all over the car this morning, so I'll clean 'er up and get some pics ASAP. I'm the first Evo X owner in my state, according to the dealer. Apparently these pups are pretty hard to get right now.

Yea, and you can adjust the ratio on the fly, front/rear from the steering wheel, or turn it off and go raw center diff.

Just bought a new Evo X Friday. Already got pulled over within 12 hours of owning it @ over 105 (oops). Luckily only got a warning (whew!). This thing is baaaaaaad. Pure secs on wheels. Stock "650 Watt Fosgate" sound system sucks though LOL This isn't my actual one, but same color. Looks...
