All I have to say is handbrakes.

 

You mean you didn't get the new works transmission with low-range?

 

This doesn't right to me. How high did you rev the motor in first and did you slip the clutch slowly?

 

Now this i can see man, limp mode sucksssssssss.

 

So let me get this straight the EVOX is an $35K -$45K all wheel drive "rally " car that cant go up hills?????????? WTF??????? oh well

 

I can set my 1997 V8 Mustang Cobra to 60mph cruise control, 1250rpm in 5th gear and comfortably climb steep mountain inclines. Nothing special, just 300ft*lbs torque, the difference is that it's a 4.6L n/a engine. I suspect outside of boost at low rpm you have very little torque. You'd probably be fine at a similar incline if you were going at sufficient speed to be in boost (above 3k rpm?) Consider that a footnote for owning such special purpose car. No biggie.

 

Yep. Doesn't matter how much you got under the hood, if you don't have the right gearing for the right situation it's unusable power.

I had an old 4 Runner that only had about a buck ten under the hood. Put it in low on the transfer case and you could pull almost anything that the frame could handle or it could walk up steep inclines with ease.

 

turn off the AC, drop the clutch, go.

 

Havent you guys ever heard of slipping the clutch? its not like we drive big block V-8s

 

It can easly make it up the hill. People just need to learn how to rev the engine a lil higher and slip the clutch.

 

These posts really crack me up and confuse me.. Have you guys ever driven an AWD car before? Sorry to break the bad news, but it's natural to have to slip the clutch more in an AWD car.. You guys seriously need driving lessons if you're really having this much of a hard time driving it up hill.. WOW...

 

just swap out the trany for a turbo 400, that should fix all your hill problems. All you have to do then is mash the gas and wait for the turbo LOLZ

 

Amen to this one. Either:

A. You can't drive your car.
B. Something is seriously wrong with the car.

Being that it is a new car, my answer is A.

****, even a less than 100 hp manual Civic can do it.

And BTW people, the ramp was NOT 40 Degrees, shoot, even 30 degrees for that matter. Hell, even the banks at some of the more aggressive Nascar tracks are 30+ degrees. Good luck trying to WALK up that kind of slope.

Take you car out back to the parking garage late one night with no friends so you don't embarass yourself, and practice driving your car.

 

Werd

 

You're not worthy of the X if you don't know how to drive it up an incline.

Slip the clutch noob!
