If you wanna talk weight, The Evo2 was even heavier, yet was still a great competitor. I guess you could b cool w/ an xray if u don't mind all the fine tuning.. But every hit you get, you gotta play guess wat screw went 1mm off adjustment.. heheh.. If David Jun could TQ a race w/ such a heavy car as you would call it, and if people can dial it in so easily, it's probably good.. heheh.. And also, even if it is limited, they stillhave a good parts support for it, so It's ok w/ me.. I bought my Evo3, and can't wait to get it.. I had an evo2, and luved it.. 4 days till it comes!!! :-D
