2009 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution MR track test

[tstkl]

damn you use the brakes a lot man,... isn't it boring going so slow?

[journauto]

@tstkl The object is to not hit any cones, but also stay within them. Don't make me explain it any more! Geez. Watch my GTI vid an you'll see it's not so slow.

[TuttleXD]

to many cones, to confusing 0.0

[youngonesunique]

Would like to get my Wife an evo x mr within the next couple years. They are very nice cars. But I would never ever trade in my evo 8 for one... Maybe if I hadnt put so much money in it.

[MrUnKnOwNM4]

Yep thinkin of buying one also. Sti or Evo? Well I got a 5 year bumper to bumper waranty on the evo so the coice is not hard for me

[mo0di1]

this is fukin caaaaaaaar

[3kgtss]

right now i have a 3000gt but i would love to get my hands on a newly evo.. they are yust amazing

[Rafdaganga]

thinking of buying the EVO or the STI.

But i'm thinking the EVO MR goes quicker

[princeofroyalty2]

@Rafdaganga actually the evo X GSR " manual is a bit quicker" than the MR " automatic w/ gay ass paddle shifters"

I own an Evo X GSR....

[journauto]

Indeed! The GSR is a loud and angry animal, but the TC-SST on the MR is ballistic! I'll take the latter for its sixth gear and quieter ride. Do you track yours?

[kenmastersmaster]

@journauto why would anyone pay $45 grand for an MR that's sourced from a $15g lancer.

I understand buying a GSR or Ralliart if you want an automaticand staying around $30 grand.

$45g is insane. You could get a 335xi, g37S awd, etc. for the same or less money and get more luxury and performance.

[journauto]

@kenmastersmaster For the turbo engine and TC-SST transmission no doubt. And, only the Evos get all of the electronics including AYC. It's like asking why you'd take a STI over a WRX, no? This ain't cheap along with the BImmer, which will likely cost more in parts and maintenance over time. The Infiniti G can't roll (at speed) with either car - I like the M more anyhow.

[Gypse404]

@kenmastersmaster yea, you'll get more luxury but not performance over the evo

[Adidasleadcause]

Meybe the speedin not revelating. 175 mp/h ... But Acceleration And Handling Beat Lambo Murcielago !!!

[bazboyevo9]

only the the misubishi evo8 mr fq400 can do 175 but the over modles would give the lambo a run for its money. if i was to by a evo i would get iver a evo9 fq 320 or a evo10 fq 320 or fq 340 depends on how much money have tho.

[AVIV222]

the normal is 148 hp so how many the evo got?

[journauto]

almost 300

[fattygetsowned]

291hp

[GTRnev8820]

so is the SST tranny worcks good ?

shifts fast?

but suspension is a bit soft ha?

[journauto]

Yes.

Very yes.

No, just right actually.

Thanks for watching!

[alpsalish]

If we are talking stock then the MR will be quicker.

[BoxerTwoZero]

I want an Evo :( The new Lancer Evo's look incredible! That and the AWD makes it my dream car

[journauto]

Me too!!! The Super Handling All-Wheel Drive won the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada's best new tech award for 2009!

[BoxerTwoZero]

It's really impressive, I was expecting the rear to slip

[journauto]

Not a chance!

[journauto]

she is definitely quick! quicker than the new 370z methinks.

[journauto]

Would depend on the driver I suppose, but the Evo is tight!!!

[fiveironfrenzy1]

Is there a bump in the Horsepower or torque numbers over the 2008 Evolution MR?

[journauto]

Not to my knowledge

[journauto]

This is a 2009MY vehicle.

[journauto]

Canadian spec... identical to U.S. spec 2008MY

differences are in the options packs etc

[fiveironfrenzy1]

Was this a review of the already out since January 2008 Lancer evolution "X" MR, or the new not yet released 2009 edition? Great shots!
