supposedly, that is the future. plasma will be obsolete soon.

then you have mitsubishi with their laser technology.

plasma is good enough for me. i was quite content with a 28" CRT until recently. i had that sucker for almost 10 years i think.....

Yup. My trusty 27" Sony Trinitron CRT lasted 10 years. Gave it to my parents for one of their spare rooms. And to think I paid over $1200 back in 1996

OLED looks to be the future, but pricing will be the enemy. But all that is relative. I am truely happy with my recent plasma purchase. I will rock it until it don't work anymore. Once its out and everyone is competing, it will get reasonable. But the light at the end of that tunnel seems to be at least 3+ years away.

I am pretty sure that saying refers to African American male reproductive organs. When in Rome.

efff that. im going for a hot lap!!! i'm hoping i can turn out a decent lap. i think my biggest obstacle will be driving on the right. teh evo should be faster, so i'll be used to the speed for the most part. i also owned a car with that engine/powertrain so i should be comfortable with that. also the exige has loads of grip and should be an extremely balanced car so it should be pretty easy to toss through the corners.

i think i will run out of courage waaay before i run out of grip super soft tyres + racing suspension + loads of downforce in a balanced light chassis FTMFW

Agreed, i dont think most people know how to push the car properly to take advantage of the setup. Have you ever done a track day before. It is the simple stuff that takes a while to learn like setting the car up for a turn and preemptively getting it ready for the next one. Shifting while hard braking and preparing for a turn. ONLY BRAKING IN A STRAIGHT LINE. i think it will be a blast but i am sure a track day or two in the evo will make it even more fun when you do it again in the future.
