They made the base model Lancer a respectable car. Much safer, not as pathetic on acceleration. The Paddle shifters are a joke. The EVO on the other hand has DEvolved since EVO 8. The best looking was EVO VI, and the best was EVO VII. This is no longer a driver's car. Its a sheeps car. But hey, they are going to sell alot of them to stupid kids, and thats when the better crash test rating will come into play.
I think Mitsubishi should rethink next Everlution XI should be relocated to rear transmission with transfer-case and with Mivec 2.4L D.O.H.C Cast Iron- Block for Production ,and 2.0 Liter Aluminium block is for for International Rally WRX Race .But the important thing is that transmission should be on back like Chevy Corvette for weight distribution and increase horse power to 385whp for production to compete with Next Nissan Skyline or nickname is "Skii",
Cast Iron?? Should it melts more easily and lower performance? Come on! Also why would they do that on production model and make heavier load to the engine while the marketing price range is totally different than a Skyline which is aimed at 60k
Listen ,i dont make a decision's just ask most famous driver in Japan and they have connection inside Mitsubishi engineer ,but is up to the president of Evolution production to decided,either reduced weight or add more cost to have more power.You guy can ask sport compact or turbo magazine and see what they said.And they going to tell you what i just said too.I been drive Mitsubishi for 25yrs now
ANY person who is into high performance 4cyl's knows that an aluminum block with cast iron sleves is tops. Dissaptes heat better for higher h.p and rmp levels. Lighter weight is a added bonus.
My evo is pushing 740awhp, 10k miles on the tune. Not once has it ever overheated no matter how hard I push it. A cast iron 4cyl could never do that, never
There are only couple of evos that are currently putting out that kind of power in the world and asuming you have one as you say, no stock evo is capable of such a power, it means that you have upgraded everything except the body and lights! no evo dif, gbox, intake system, EMS, suspension and engine can handle such a power. Once you upgrade parts to handle that power, your not driving evo, your driving a custom built drag car, regardless of the make of it, it will be a fantastic ride.
and you, have you been driven Mitsubishi before for 25yrs yet. And do you ever works on Mitsubishi all models before yet. Have you talk to peoples who built race engine and see who is stupid .But i bet you that my 89 Eclipse turbo with 875,ooo miles can out run your aluminum cans engine anytime around the world 9x and last longer than your aluminum cans any day.With my original engine and tranny Budy and see who talk and put the money where ur mouth is
Let me get this strait. You want me to race your 89 box car around the world lol Sorry poor boy, I dont think the old box would make it and I dont think that a guy driving a old box has the money.
You want to race me, put up some cash. How far you live from Arkansas?
I thought you must like American cars with all your cast iron crap talk. Now I know you a poor kid who owns a hunk of crap 80's model jap car. Why in the hell do you think all the high performance 4cyl engines are aluminum blocks with cast iron sleves?
You, are a fucking moron. Bring your 80's model box car and look lik the poor loser you are. My evo is running a AMS tune and a 6 speed dog box, people would laugh at you just for pulling up next to me at the line.
lol i will take this car over subus any day. evo wins on looks alone. subus are freakin disgusting the way they made'em now. the 5 door hatch thing by subaru should be thrown in the junkyard..
lol like u wud turn down one of those cars sure it looks like an astra and a escort have cross breeded but its worth like £40 grand, its not shit u will neva find an easier car to drive
Didnt Mitsu pull out of WRC? Id rather the Mazda3 esque 5 door WRX than the slack jawed robot. Under that MIVEC cover plate bullshit you will find the same joint developed World Engine as the Caliber and soon to be next SRT-4.
i did and im a fan of subi and i now hate subi i still like the 06 sti im in love with it but i feel as if im begging to hate it cuz of what they did to the sti they made it into a hatch...now its just another honda hatch back..with more hp though my hopes are all gone for sti they went from cool looking beasts to ugly things
i understand you like the "wedge body" and the "sharklike front end" i'm happy for you, i really am, i personally think it looks like SHIT and will always feel that way. have fun with your evo X.
thanks for the heads-up. i just took a look at some pictures of the 08 impreza. two things, first, at least they kept the hood scoop and the front end the same. two, they kept the rear wing design as well. thank you subaru. now if this is any indication, i'm betting the muscle in the engine remains the same, or gets better, not watered down like the evo, what did the evo just become the bastard child of an SRT4 and a honda civic? run back to the evo? you better think again, son.
um..FYI, this is the new 08 Impreza, I don't know about you, but that looks repulsive. Completely lost all the appeal that the WRX had built up to it's peak, the 07 model. The large majority of the Subbie community is at a loss, completely disliking what they see.
if you say so, i see more of the same lines in the impreza then i do in the evo. you have your own opinion and i do mine, besides, my evo has less than 13000 miles on it and i intend on taking care of it. so i shouldn't even need to worry about getting a new car for oh... a long time. who's to say what'll happen in five, six or even ten years down the road. but i haven't seen anyone in the subbie community taking the time to write about it like people in the evo community have.
im an subi fan.. when i herd the 08 sti coming out i was excited when i saw it i was mad...a hatch? how pos im so disapointed i think imma screw this whole subi thing and just go over to some other manufactur that can make a car look nice i was in love with the 06 sti i was hoping they would make a monster out of the 08 i wouldnt buy the 08 sti even if it had 400hp
thanks for the heads-up. i just checked it out. two things. they kept the scoop on the hood and the front end design, big plus over the evo, they kept the rear wing design, big plus over the evo. i haven't checked out any specs on the engine, but if subaru has been that deserving of their fans to keep the outer design, i'm sure the muscle in the car and the interior will retain as much noteworthiness as it deserves even now today. run back to the evo? you better think again on that one, son.
this, is a complete waste of time. i'll never buy an evo X, when my driving days in my Evo VIII are over, if they haven't come out with a more "evolike" evo, i'm phukin switching to subaru.
the peddle shifts is crap even if the lambo comes with it i would rather have a stick just like all the cars PEDAL SHIFTERS TAKE AWAY THE MEANING OF "MANUAL" AND THAT POSE SHIFTING BOX
At first I thought it was a step down from the current Evo as well, but after awhile, it really really grew on me, and I just love it's radical sleek wedge look! The front looks like a shark, and I love how they actually BOTHERED looking at the interior this time. The quickshift clutchless manual will be sweet as well.
ur proberly sum dumb ass 10 year old azn that dont no nothing about cars go fuck urself ok fool go watch ur fast and furiours and go feel big like u know shit bout cars hahaha fagboy go drive ur mums honda around cheap ass

Obviously we arent going to race around the world 9X you idiot. But I'll race you on a drag or a circuit however many laps you want.
BTW, my evo was tuned by AMS. Your 89 box POS FWD doesnt stand a chance poor boy, not a chance in hell.
