Keep the dog, ditch the car

Ya, its 6.0. Ya, 400 bhp. Ya, it's Australian. Ya, it's really heavy. But if you are going to an X - thats heavy too.

The GTO was one of the cars I tested before buying my Evo. It just didn't have that raw feel (accel, braking, handling). Felt like I was riding a sedated goat.

I have not driven the X (only the Lancer GTS and DE). I don't know if its like the 8/9 in terms of feel. But my guess is no. But go test drive one - after all, its your money.

Unless you have the 6.0 I wouldn't even bother with the 5.7l. The 5.7l is clearly an underachiever. Keep that dog though!!
