    longtube headers with no cats or mufflers.. 115 db + WOT ...

    The bias from police is painfully obvious.

    Wait... you don't want 20"s?Â* Everyone wants 20"s.Â* Actually to be on topic, the car has grown on me but I can never get over the dual exhaust thing.Â* I also want to know what the limits of the stock turbo will be, most people have talked about turbo upgrades being harder because of the turbo location but most people will not really upgrade turbos.Â* I think the way the X will take to the same simple bolt-ons everyone does is the real litmus test.

    There is TONS of room in the back for a larger turbo and even a tubular header. Doesn't look like it in the photos but once you see it in person it's a whole different story.

    There is actually *more* room from turbo to firewall then there currently is from turbo to radiator on the evo 8/9

    yes 18x8.5.

    This is where I could say you should do your homework before saying something but instead I will agree with you and say the 18's look like 17's. The wheel wells are huge and the fenders are high, which should make it easy to shove lots of tire under there without fender mods.

    so what's up with the X's and lowering/coilovers with all that electronic yaw control and whatnot. can it be done without throwing the cpu off? they would look a LOT better if they were an inch or two lower...

    You have to see it to believe it, but liked what bryan said, tons of room!

    I bet a GT42 will fit.
