haha, nice keep up the great work. We need more people like you :P But trust me the once a time rev is always fine...haha

 

+1 It's funnie how you hear of stories of Ion Redlines, Srt-4s, and all those other pocket rockets revving at people... If one revved at me, I'll show them the Evo's true potential. Btw, NFS Most Wanted is hecka fun, I wish I could lead an exciting police chase in my Evo, turning so fast that the cop crashes into an obstacle, and then smoking it...

 

Yes, im going to have to admit i have played it and loved it haha...it was soooo clean...i miss that evo...it made lambos **** in their pants at the line..hahaha

I was there yesterday. Wasn't impressed at all. Looks like all they did was smooth out edges on the current model. Nothing spectacular.

 

What is the engine code for this new evo?

 

After speaking with Mitsu a few weeks ago, this is what I got. May not be new info, but may clear some stuff up.

Despite the fact that we all love the current and past Lancers Evolutions, they are not the sales success that Mitsu would like. The car is uncompromising to most people with a econo feel and race car like ride(I know....sound good to me too ). With the X, they are trying to make a car that appeals to a larger audience, has the amenities and feel that its price bracket demands, and compete with a more sophisticated lineup of cars. All this without sacrificing performance. So really you get the best of everything. It will however most likely not feel as much like a race car to those that are very into that.

I was also informed that the car will probably not gain and noticeable performance, just keep the same or close to it while making other areas more "liveable" for the general population. The engine will be a 2.0l turbo as we all know with a block built for forced induction. Weather or not it will be as strong as the 4G63, I have no idea, but I would guess so or close to it. Very little info has been divuldged on the engine. As far as tuneability, it will most likely come accross as far less tuneable at first, but as we all mess around with it, it should be fine for modifing.

I feel the X is a step forward for mistubishi and the evolution, although it is in a different direction. Mitsubishi is apparently revamping much of its lineup with some nice new technology and ideas, so it should be interesting to watch

 

Diehard fan till the end of the turbocharged era

 

...+1...with honors mind you

 

Hope it never ends!!!!!!!!!

 

R.i.p. 4g63

 

One thing this will do is bring the base lancer up to par or better than it's competition which it isn't now. That shuld help Mitsu. I'd be surprised if performance on the Evo X isn't a small bit better due to the increase in HP and similar weight. I wouldn't expect a big bump though as you said. Price and reliability are my only concerns at this point.

 

if i know mitsubishi, i'd wait for the X version b, probably a year after.


then might as well wait for the the X version c later on that year.. but the XI is right around the corner!

 

Hey guys....

Being only 16, I hope for the X to come out a be a car that I would actually buy in the future....

Made another version of my Evo X concept....made changes from the other one a while back. Suppose to be a little more realistic in design than the current X concept...

....What you guys think?

 

I'm digging the blistered fenders.
