Good luck if you have snow in your area... That's way to much power for a RWD in snow. That's the main reason why I didin't buy one and went for an Evo X.

I'd say that AWD is great for putting power to the pavement regardless of surface conditions and even more true for high-horsepower cars (i.e. a modded Evo).

gotta agree there. While I only have 6,000 miles on my GSR, there is plenty of clutch left. I don't lauch my car however... I get on it a little once in a while. I don't know how many ways there is to drive a manual, but it seems a lot more than one since we have so many people here with lasting clutches and others that are only lasting 8k miles, that's just crazy to me. If you launch your cars, the clutch WILL NOT last.

I don't know what numbers you are looking at, but it isn't much faster than an X GSR.
