Congrats dude, still my favorite color for the evo. Wish I had gotten one of these instead of WW.

Thanks Man, Yea I went in with the intent of getting a WW one too but changed my mind quickly as I saw their FE red Evo floor model which made me get this RR Evo instead. Also the Salesman owned a WW as well as some of his other manager which are way too common in my area.

Yea, when I went and got my evo they only had black, gray, and white. So I went with white since they only had one with the nice aluminum shift knob.

But if I could go back I'd pick up a nice RR with SSS, but I'll probably end up painting the car one day. Just have to decide on a color that looks good and isn't common.

I would say a 400 hp evo X is fairly reliable. Mine is right at 400 whp and I have never had an issue. Only thing it has ever needed is routine maintenance. Just be sure to get a GOOD tuner.

It's most likely 400 to the wheels. To achieve those numbers you'd have to do full bolt ons plus get an aftermarket turbo

Congrats! You will definitely enjoy the EVO. Being in MN with the snow and salt in the winter you may or may not get the AYC pump failure, but at least Mitsubishi is covering the pump with a 10 year warranty now. I live in WI but I simply store mine over the winter and drive a beater around

I'm at 310 whp (virtual dyno) on my 2015 GSR, with 13k miles and 6 track days, very reliable. I had a turbo manifold stud go loose and cause exhaust leaking but just had to tighten it back, only happens when you track hard like I do. I need MOAR power so I'm going E85 within the month. Need to keep up with those pesky Porsche's and V8's on the front straights!

So bow you basically owe 50kish for the evo? Yikes dude. Why even thinking about modding? Shouldnt you worry more about how bad the dealers are bending you over with interest? Lol

thanks. what kind of mods do you currently have on the evo? I wanted to go e85 to but that's still long sown the road.

it was a 6.8% over a 7 year term. which was better then my previous car but I do plan on refinancing it within 2-3 years to take out my bro on the contract. it is what it is. as in term of mods it's more of cosmatic and maybe intake and exhaust that's it. nothing big untill warranty is done
