Evo X is going to be the best car in teh world!, (not including ferarri, lambourghini, and STI).

 

yeah the new trans will be awesome, go tell those F1 and WRC guys they can't shift you can't beat the DSG with a manual, i guaranteed you'll be left in the dust granted power and weight remain similar

 

How many of you are disappointed in the OP for not looking to see amount of threads with people *****ing about the X?

<--- is.

 

I am looking at it and can't stop staring at it (something I can't say about any other previous Evos). Evo X will be the first Evo that will offer style as well as performance.

 

what I said was coming from Sport compact mag's inside sources... whether it's all true, I don't know.

 

bmw's actually do suck.

 

I joined these forums because i was thinking of getting an Evo. Now that ive seen the Evo X, i am no longer even looking at any other car and have pushed back my plans to buy a new car until next year. My only debate now is... black or red?

 

I have the IX in red... I know it's not the same red, but something about black tends to be plain to me.

 

I also forgot to mention reference to the weight.. The Lancer and EVO come with I believe 6 or 7 standard airbags.. Those components alone aren't all that light either.. Quit whining about the weight.. Go on a diet to even it out with your other buddies or somethin.. Hahahaha..

 

i am a little disappointed. id rather buy a 9 than even consider a 10

 

probably start at 35k, with a loaded 10 over 40k msrp

 

how so?

anyways, yeah i agree with blitzkrieg, save all the speculation till the thing comes out. how can u judge something when its not even out yet?

 

Here is a section from the Sport Compact Car Magazine on the new Evo.

" Potential pitfalls of the next Evolution "

" Even with the all new engine and complex S-AWC system in the X, the biggest headache for tuners may reside in the dual clutch auto/manual transmission. Shift programs ( Drive, Sports or Manual modes ) are designed in terms of shift timing, redline and clutch overlap time. Even in Manual mode, the Transmission Control Module (TCM) is programmed to shift at the preset pre-redline point. Maximum downshift rpm is also limited by the engine. Stock power determines the amount of power each clutch can transfer without slipping, clutch engagement timing and gear overlap. With added power, everything will start to fall out of sync.

The fact that the engine is turbocharged means that torque on the input shaft and each clutch varies with boost, throttle position and engine speed. So altering the shift program isn't as simple as changing the stock points. And this doesn't even scratch the surface of tuning in sport mode, which works with yaw, wheel speed and steering sensors to figure out which gear to downshift to. While Audi/VW tuners have already started working on TCM reflash maps, coming up with something as good as factory tuning will not be easy, especially now that the Lancer has a Controller Area Network-bus (CAN-BUS) for chassis communications. But it's possible---the Bugatti Veyron can make 1000 bhp via turbochargers. And uses a similar tranny.- JC "

 

ur mom sucks

 

Impossible to see the future is...
