    Your thoughts on the MS3 engine?

    Everyone here would heartily agree with that. (tongue firmly planted in cheek)

    Pro5 to STi to Element to MS3?

    ITR (Integra) STi = Subaru (rattle trap, clunky transmission, poor quality build) It had mad power for sure, but the Type R handling smoked it. I've not driven an EVO, but have heard it's got mad handling (but still, it's a Mitsubishi). I've been very high on Honda made products all my life...

    Pro5 to STi to Element to MS3?

    I went from Type R, to STi, to Element, to MS3GT. My love factor of the vehicles was, in this order (not including my brand new MS3GT): 1. Type R 2. Element 3. STi (a very distant 3rd - I hated that car) So far, I'd say the MS3 is every bit as fun as the R was (back in 2000). Much more car for...

    2008 GT Has Arrived

    Antonio, I got my VIN not quite 2 weeks before the car arrived. I'm guessing that I got the VIN when the car hit the port.

    08 ms3's coming aug 1st.

    Just got the VIN this week from the dealer. They've got plenty (12) of 2007's, but I couldn't get them to deal on them - other than dropping $700 off sticker. Told them it wasn't worth $700 to have last year's model (even though no changes have been made - it's still 08 vs. 07).
