isnt the new colt just the new tarmac spyder that mitsubishi displayed at the detroit auto show, except the ones u see here have roofs.

p.s. Billy: i like accords

 

You read my mind!!!

 

"Like mentioned earlier the new evolution V was designed, mainly, as a tarmac spec car. Mitsubishi and RalliArt have, however, redesigned many mechanical parts in order to allow changing them very rapidly." Go to www.lancer-evolution.net

Dunno if this source is completely reliable though.

 

that colt reminds me of my brother 1981-or83 dodge colt turbo, the rims and all. That thing was fast, it can with a sticker on the back hatch that said"dont step on the gas unless u really mean it"

Does anyone know more about the 81-83 turbo colts, like hp, 0-60 times,,, i think it was really fast to 50. The car had a stick buy the 5 speed that you could shift from eco, to a starbust, which was for fast driving.

thanks

 

Hmm not too sure about the the New Colt it kind of looks funny. To me ..
And I would want that extra room for stuff .. the colt is too small. But I am sure it might me faster then the EVO due to the weight differents. But How it handles no body knows

 

i think the tarmac spyder/new colt looks goofy. the headlights go way too far up the hood. it looks like a shorter matrix to me. i'd go with the evo.

 

Go Evo!

 

I love the Evo line but it is just too big a platform to be competitive for WRC. Like the Galant before it, it too has got left behind. I spoke to a Mitsubishi factory rep soon after the Japanese launch of the Colt and he admitted that the Lancers rallying days were numbered.

Looks like the dodge colt turbo my brother had in 1982-5! That thing was very fast for its time. Bring it over, always like the hatch back.

 

If I pulled up in that thing my friends and family would laugh there a$$es off. Unfortunatly my father would then get in his supercharged C2 Porsche and still proceed to beat the hell out of it. I will take the Evo as I at least do not get laughed at!

 

*drools* that evo colt that maniac posted it freakin insane. I wouldnt mind cruising in that at all.

 

The Black Colt doesn't look too bad comparing to the new one. But I'll stick with the EVO.
