Default EVO X Steals Sport Chrono?
Also being an EVO owner/enthusiast, I was pretty shocked to see the imfamous wart on the dash of the new EVO Prototype X. Judge for yourself:

The earlier Evos had the tach slap bang in the middle too...just like Porsche. I love that about them personally.

I think it looks more like an Acura TSX than a TL.

My Evo was dollar-for-dollar the greatest car I've ever owned. You take that back.

Have to agree with you. I love mine so much that I kept it for track duty even after I bought the 997. [flame suit on]. It's faster, handles better and is cheaper to maintain for the track than my 997. Admittedly, it's not the sexiest car, but it gets the job done.

People would be very hard pressed to find a car that outperforms the Evo in all areas for the $$. Only in the US is it not well accepted.

Look closely. It's the vanishing type. It flips over and out of the way, the way Porsche should have done it.
