Maybe I misread it but how can it be whp when they quoted 300 "pounds of twist"? Doesn't make sense...

That writer seems to have really liked it. Wonder which nut he'd bust if he drove a modified one

hmmm, the canadian evo x rs is pretty much a gsr on a diet (no stereo, wing, soundproofing, other stuff) so to me this car seems a bit odd. But yeah, it's too bad you americans don't get the rs, it would be a great car if you were looking at racing (less weight, cheaper).

lol, good luck, keep in mind the canadian dollar is on par with the american dollar. And the rs costs $39k + taxes for bringing it across the border. Pretty sure you can get a mr for that price in the US.
