I can't believe this thread is still going, this thread is the definition of beating a dead horse for tooooooo long .

On the topic of saying things a few years ago about future technology...

There was no way in hell I was going to go to the SST. I was completely against the idea. Stupidest thing ever. I used every excuse in the book (arguing with the ralliart guys mainly). Not putting the 5 speed in the ralliart?!?! RETARDED! GIVE ME MANUAL OR GIVE ME DEATH.

Now I own an MR and I love the SST dearly. I honestly would love a IX with the SST in it. There is a reason Lamborghini, ferrari, etc are only doing dual clutch transmissions now (no manuals to be had in new cars). I never put it in auto electronic shifting any more, I always have it in sport mode / manual. It's tuned to hold 25 psi through all the gears without letting off of the gas (tune goes up to 28psi otherwise). Shifts so amazingly quick. I laugh at how ignorant I was.

At the rate of which the X's are depreciating, you won't have to wait long

I sold my 8 MR last year, regret it, especially the person I sold it to. Later I bought an X MR for the DD and the finance. After my regrets, bought a mild bolt-on evo 8 GSR. Can't complain, same car payment that was for my old MR for 2 evos-best of both worlds.

I want both but need to pay off my 8 first. The other thing about a X is the turbo behind the motor. I never liked working on a srt 4, I imagine it's probably the same.

The only hard part about the turbo being behind the engine is changing the O2 housing and the turbo. How often do you plan on doing that?
