I've been reading a lot about the X recently and have been looking at actual pictures taken on the streets. Its good looking, but the prototype was so much more aggressive. That picture is of the RS version which is really stripped down (small brakes/wheels, no wing, etc.). All the magazines and websites are saying it handles better, but slightly slower in a straight line (lap times are still improved though thanks to the handling). The Mitsu engineers have hinted that some simple tweaking of the software will really liven the car up though. I really can't figure out why Mitsu made it slower in the 1/4 mile though, it seems like with the new engine and extra technology goodies they could have done more.
