I tell you one thing though with evo models 7-9 and the X, they handle like your driving a go kart. You can throw them so hard in the corners when you've upgraded the tyres, added some sways and suspension. But they have very short gear ratios and can run out of puff mid way 3rd gear.
Evo X has improved with it's handling performance no doubt but with the amount of after market availability for all evo's is just crazy.
I remember wanting to buy a FQ series evo many years ago but couldn't happen.
