evos are too damn heaver and have no TQ!!
sorry this is just a rant.
today i was on a HUGE STEAP hill. and the evo just has no power at all before the turbo. with a awd system and such a heavy car the evo should have came with a bigger engine.
the hill was so steep that I could notgo slower than 10mph. as soon as i wnt slower to about 5mph the car just did not have any power or tq to accelerate to its power band. then when i come to a complete stop, its almost impossible to get going again cuz of the huge hell and tiny engine. the only way to get moving again was to slip and burn the hell out of the clutch untill you were up to 10mph. that one hill made the car stink of burn clutch for days.
the evo is just a DOG before 1500 rpm
anyone else have problems with huge hills?

the street i live off of in philly is supposidely the steepest in town. never had an issue even sitting behind a stuck 18 wheeler which arent even aloud on the street due to the steep grade.
its not about learning how to drive you ***.
its about the car being heavy with an awd system and having no power and tq at all at very low rpms.
all that and being on a real super steap hill and your fu*cked.
if the car is going 5-7mph already in first gear and cant even accelerate and is loosing speed because of the hill. how the hell are u supose to take off from a stop with out murdering the clutch

Yes, it's true, the evo makes no power at 1,500 rpm because it was not designed to do so. If you want power and torque at 1,500 rpm get a turbo diesel or a v8.
i'm sure you can be under 1500 rpms 
it has nothing to do w/ the turbo or powerband. he's just trying to climb up a steep hill at a slow civil pace. he's just afraid to ride the clutch at that kind of rpm (which wont burn THAT easily)
