Where did you get that info???!!!

Completly not true

You guys Have one more year of the Evo VIII. (Evo with dodge parts HA lol)

2006 is the Last year of the Evo VIII. Then Mitsu is debating weather or not to Bring the EVO IX or the Colt.

#2 It wasn't Chryslers engine in the 2nd Generation Eclipses it was Mitsu's engine in the Plymoth Lazer. And the GST and GSX are still some of the best cars of there time. Dude you don't know anything your saying.

Sorry I don't need to bag on you.

You just need to do a little research before you post

 

np man, I am still researching it. Here is the link to the thread for which I got the info. I am still looking for concrete evidence to the claims. It is true that the Neon will be changed based on the Mitsu Lancer platform as well as Mitsu Raider which is based on the Dodge Dakota platform "minus the Hemi".

Well b4 you flame someone make sure you are correct about what YOU are saying. It is true that the GST's and the GSX's were great. They used the 4g63 however, the 2nd gen RS and GS models used the CHRYSLER 420a!!!. Which was also used in the Neon. Know your history and, your engines.

 

Here's what I have been told.....from the Crysler rep. ( Sit down , this is going to hurt ).

The next "Neon", will be a Mitsubishi platform built by Hundai in Korea. OH ****! There goes the neighborhood.

Taken from the above link.

Oh my if this is true, This is making me wonder what and if the EVO lX will be?

 

Yea... Supposedly the Hyundai is providing the powertrain. Yuck!!

 

Hmmm, I belive the lancer name was originally owned by dodge in the early 80's

I used to have a Shelby Lancer

 

OK you thread pirates...LOL...I think you might be confusing the "world engine project" as some sort of corporate merger, when in fact it's just a joint engineering venture between Daimler Chrysler, Hyundai, Mitsubishi to develope a shared engine platform that could be mass produced in order to save the almighty dollar. I think the latest is that the "world engine" will be a 2.0L four cyclinder generating close to 250hp WITHOUT any form of forced induction. Now imagine what it could do with a lower compression ratio and a snail. Mmmmmmm 320hp turbo 4 banger. Who knows? Might end up in the Evo someday.

 

Yeah, I know all the srt-4 people are like ugh, dont wreck my beloved car, and all the evo people are like ugh, i dont want to be associated with dodge, but if IF it happens the end result is a very high horsepower 4 banger with awesome handling for less $$$. To combind a SRT-4 and EVO into one car would kick *** from my perspective. But I am not a "srt guy" or a "evo guy" I am a TURBO guy
Give up your brand loyalty and look at somethig different for a change....

Good things about EVO
1. handling
2. awd (traction)
3. power
4. bullet proof motor
5. electronic gizmos (makes a good driver better)
6. huge aftermarket mod potential
7. brakes

Bad things about EVO
1. awd (more drivetrain loss)
2. weight
3. price
4. electronic gizmos (more weight, potential costly fixes)

Good thing about SRT-4
1. price
2. power
3. more displacement (low end torque)
4. factory staged upgrades
5. weight
6. intoxicating exhaust note

Bad things about SRT-4
1. handling
2. Fwd (traction becomes an issue when adding more power)
3. factory ecu hard to mod
4. respect


What if we could have a car that was 4 door, 2.4liter and 300+hp turbo'd stock, with awd, good brakes and suspension at 3000lbs that was $25k? Why woudn't you buy that car? I wouldnt care if it said Kia on the side....

 

But I'm still trying to sell my SRT4 for an 05 White RS or a Yellow 05 GSR

 

I'm test driving an '04 RS this Saturday. Anything thing in particular I should look for...besides like the doors falling off or blue smoke coming out...LOL.

 

Steiner, is it new or used? If new you should be able to get it below invoice, what a deal. Good luck!

 

The dealer says it's new but I haven't asked how many miles are on it. Judging by how quick he was to offer a test drive though I'm guessing I'm not the first to take it for a spin...so possibly there are some miles on it. We'll see how it goes. I'm leaning towards an '05 but if the price is right who knows?

 

yeah, along with a good sweat during the summer.

 

no sweat with the ac on
