Sadly no, not enough room and I couldn't justify keeping it as a track only car.

I believe the MR trim level only comes in the auto (TC-SST), and the GSR comes in the 5 speed manual.

Good to know! I never really looked into the Evo X, but I do know they are beautiful and powerful machines. I stopped keeping up after the VIII seeing as that was my favorite generation from the US market.

Same here. The VIII / IX had the sweet spot within me.

Don't let the fact that it is an "auto" fool you!
Switch to S-Sport and launch setting and it will break you neck if you are not sitting right.

That's usually the case with any built Evo so I'll take your word for it.

Your Storm Troopers interior looks like he really likes you. Are you doing a lot of drifting pulling on that e-brake often. I'd hate to be in an accident in the front seat without a seatbelt on. It looks like the Storm Trooper would go for the Death Star. LOL.

I looked at the headrests and thought "Storm Trooper outside but pure Cylon inside!"
The handbrake is fine when not pulled so if you are in an accident with it up like that you are doing something seriously wrong!!!!
