I hear that the X will only be available in a automatic/6-speed peddle shifting and not available in a 5-speed version. My quick ? is this: Being that there is no "Clutch" how will u launch the car from a dig? My assumption is that u have to have a "Stall coverter" in order to get a launch out of an automatic.
2nd ?: How much stress will the "411BT" motor handle? Being that the whole motor is going to be aluminum(and not cast iron/aluminumheads) would'nt it be more expensive to build because you would have to sleeve the bottom end to hold a lot of boost.
3rd ?: when it's time to rebuild the tranny (because of too much power) how would u rebuild it?
These are the main concerns that I have before I even think of buying this car. I also hear that the block will be limited to added horsepower. Who knows? I sure the "X" will prove itself in some way. Remember when everybody was in doubt about the "Mivec variable valve timing"? Look what happend!
