I currently own a evo x fq300 SST, I'm looking to get a brand new evo in october this year but having a bit of trouble deciding what one, I think the fq360 is less then a second faster from 0 to 60mph but users so much more fuel then the fq330. But the fq360 comes with every extra u can add on to a new car. Any advice would b great.

No idea cuz most of us on EvoM are buying Evos in the states... and here we only have one, the equivalent to the "fq300"... but an Evo is an Evo regardless, and an fq330 just happens to be faster off the lot... something that can be easily fixed with a tune and/or boltons

If u have the cash and don't want to deal with tuning yourself or buying parts at a later time, go for the 360... here you'd have bragging rights I'm assuming... over there, well I'm not sure :\

and I was under the impression all Evos had a 17/21mpg sticker... Mine uses so much more gas than mine (lol) when I drive it like I stole it :\

 

I was looking at the 360 when i lived in England... Go with the 360, i had a 330hp Evo X here in the states for a while, just upgraded the turbo recently and can't believe i lived with 330 for so long lol plus the fq360 comes with some nice exterior upgrades.

 

360. That will probably be the consensus, we are a "more is better, and too much is almost enough" kind of crowd for the most part.

 

I dont know all the specs between the models outside the US. If you're keeping it stock and have the cash for it, I'd go with the 360.

 

If you're planning on doing some modifying yourself after purchase then go for the 330. If you want to just pay and play then go for the 360.

You're buying a brand new FQ series evo OR you're concerned about fuel consumption. You can't be both.

 

It's really a loaded question. Of course we're all going to say get the 360.

 

I don't think they make fq330's anymore, only fq300 and fq360. I'd just keep your current evo and do a few mods and a tune since 97oct is like what? £1.45 a litre? thats equivalent to roughly $10.00 a gallon converted to the US dollar.

 

I believe that the 330's are only SST now. I think

 

360 uses too much gas - get the 300...I'm sure you can get the options added on later...

 

Get a manual GSR fq300 and modify it you can make 350whp (which equates close to 400 at the the crank) for alot less than paying for one of the upgraded FQ models. However if you arent a modifier and you plan on keeping your car stock, I would get the fq360 , I had the opportunity to test drive one while I was in england its a well balanced car with a moderate tune. Reason I didnt purchase it was because the price simply outweighed the modifications done to it by hks and mitsubishi. Personal preference.

 

just looked on mitsu uk website, only 300 and 360 are advertised.

 

Is it only a dodgy rumour about the evo 11???
