trying to get the post # up eh?

 

Why in the hell are you bumpin this?

Stop.

 

so he can get rid of his noob status and become a Evolved Member

 

I do not like the X at all and hate the idea of the paddle shifting

 

I'll wait a couple of years until they work out the bugs.. I might look at what subaru is planning as a response. Maybe the S204...

Whats the big deal about paddle shifters WRC uses them It's not called the evolution for nothing.

 

"Active Steering Control"... hmm.. All wheel steering huh?

I'm pretty sure mitsu isnt refering to 4-wheel steering (ala 3000GT-VR4, Z32 Z-TT) when they say Active Sterring Control. I think it refers to something more like variable steering ratio and assist.

 

I doubt SAWC will be coming here.. They haven't even release SAYC here in the states. Most likely we will get the watered down version like the 8&9..

 

Just to remind everyone.. the evo is a motorsports car known for its crazy road holding power and ease of turning on the track.. you cant use 1000whp on a road course.. and the evo was never intended to be a drag car. Plus the the motors going to be in the range of cammed evos now are making stock.. which is more then enough to hang with supercars on the race track... its all about the improvement in handling.. If you want to drag race, buy a damn GT500.



We dont want yaw control on our evos... it breaks and isnt suitable for the united states where we put alot of miles on our cars. Non of the worlds fastest evos are running yaw control so why do we need it again?

First people complain about a lack of power... they the yaw control? you cant be making crazy hp and reliable run yaw control on a sub 40K... so pick one or the other.

 

ugly...padles, no 4g63 .... all bad.

 

Can't wait to see it in person and test drive it. I've never had the chance to use paddle shifter before. The body style reminds me of the Acura TL.

 

One thing that concerns me is the "active steering" mentioned. This feature has been reviewed poorly in the BMW world.

Active steering as implemented currently has two functions: to quicken the steering at low speeds, and (in some cases) assist vehicle stability control systems.

In BMWs, it's criticised for not being predictable-- the car doesn't know how tight that corner you're going into is, and the result is substantial variations in steering wheel angle to turn any given amount.

 

+1 it always has been a handling car. Perhaps the evo's greatest attribute is that it is a bargain. You get that kind of handling for an amazing price. I'm so pumped to graduate from school in a year and get my hands on an evo of some kind.

it seems to me that Mitsu has realized the cheap interior and racer-boy look needs a facelift if the evo is to really compete in the US market. They won't forget about us though.

but honestly, does someone who really takes their evo driving seriously and competively want a 1000hp dyno queen? of course the evo can be a great drag car but so can lots of cars. play to its strongpoints regardless of paddle shifters, aluminum block, or whatever else "sucks"about the X. Everyone knows the car will have some amazing strongpoints

 

LOL

hope you're not going to try to sell anything for a while STIGOD

 

not liking the X at all
