EVO Weight
The Heaviest Jap Spec evo, the GSR with all the electronic toys and the 6sp weighs, according to Mitsu, 3108. Our car with just a 5sp weighs in at 3263 w/o sunroof. All our required safety crap and emissions crap weigh us down, imagine with the ACD and a 6sp. The stripped down RS with a 5sp weighs only 2910. Think about it, a Z06 Vette weighs 3100. Hope the STI ain't that porky...

Not really. This has been descussed before. The 3108 weight figure for the JDM model is dry weight, or no fluids whereas the USDM weight figure is wet weight with all fluids topped to max capacity. But yes, with the extra gizmos, the weight would be greater.

Good point. To figure that out, best would be to tkae the capacities from the Evo 7 Workshop Manual and figure out the weight for
x litres of engine oil (6?)
x litres of gearbox oil (?)
x litres of coolant
x litres of power steering fluid
x litres of window washer fluid
53 litres of gas
add those up and substract from the US Evo weight.
I suppose that adds up to something like 70kg, ie 150lbs approximately.

I saw a picture of a UK spec Evo 8 and it looks like the front and rear bumpers are different. Smaller and look better. I will probably take off the overweight US bumpers and swao in some UK bumpers in place. That should make the car look better as well as reduse the weight drastically.

all weights found at various sites online...hopefully they are correct.
gas = appx 2 lbs/ liter. at 53 liters....it weighs 106lbs!
(coolant) water= 8.3 lbs/ gal
can't find number for the weights of the oils... :|

Subliminal mode on.
Autoweek says 3300 lbs.ironblock. If
would step into the 21st century they wouldn't have to use aluminum fenders.ironblock. I'll bet that hasn't let any mags test the evo in the .25 mile because they are afraid the truth will come out.ironblock.
Subliminal mode off.
needs to pull out their boobies and let an unbiased third party prove the EVO is worth the extra $$$. I understand that the 4g63 is the modern day small block, but a WRX and $500 will put you past the EVO in performance. Don't get me wrong, a WRX can never beat the EVO in style, but some people on this BBS have brand loyalty issues

The Evo has a MUCH stronger tranny, and easily tunable for more hp.
Sounds like YOU'RE the one with brand loyalty issues
