I'll wait and see if the 4B11 stops sucking in the Evo XI, if it doesn't, then I dunno what I'll do. Probably cry and try and buy an Evo VI from Japan.

Steve: Don't think about the Evo X as slow, think about your Spec V as fast! That's obviously what Mitsu is trying to do.
lol Kaiser thats awesome. Its very rare I see the words "spec v" and "fast" in the same sentence haha

But you are totally right 4g63 is a legendary motor, maybe mitsu is trying to appeal more to women or the average consumer? You know instead of the people who actually would be buying it and enjoying it (people like us)

Either way, I think it is a poor move on their part...we'll have to see how the new STI holds up
