well i like the 4g63 so not a difficult choice for me

 

id take the new gsx, regardless of what they throw in the evo evo, the new one still looks hideous. i mean im content with my 05 evo 8 but if the situation would arise that i either had the money or just wanted to get something new definetly the gsx.

 

This thread seperates the men from the boys!

 

jst got back from the dealer and they told me the exo 10 would be in around september/october with about 325hp on a 2.4L...im leanin toward the evo...

 

Ummmmmm, september/october this year or next year? I don't think you mean this year as Mitsubishi will release the new Outlander this fall which means no Lancer during that time as small car companies don't really like to overlap new product releases, usually have 3-5 months off in between new releases.

As far as horsepower and displacement goes I think that is a bit off as the current EVO produces 286HP which gives 143 per liter (2.4L at 325HP would give around 135HP per liter which would be kind of a step back but I guess it would improve the reliability of engine a bit). I also heard that the new engine will have flat torque.

 

Well I'm just going off of what he told me...He said 325-350hp on a 2.4L that they will have this fall...Also told me that what they had(WW/GG MR and WW(ssl)/GG IX) was the last shipment of Evo's they would get until the X comes out...

 

EVO has room for a car seat!

 

i dont believe the 2.4 talk

-shu

 

Why not? Subaru offers 2.5l engines in their Impreza line yet they have a 2.0l version WRC car.

2.4l engine would offer greater power potential and potentialy better reliability (as the larger displacement will handle the horsepower with more ease and engine will be less stressed) so it's all good.

Actually in my perfect world I wouldn't mind having a V6 3.0l -like EVO, that would make the car much more reliable with less service intervals while providing adequate power. I see nothing wrong with EVO becoming more civilized, maybe it will even help Mitsubishi make some decent profit for a change. As long as the car will be engineered well, light, powerful, and handle like nothing else in it's class while also looking good and having a civilized interior I am more than all for it.

 

I was following ya 100% till ya mentioned that strange v6 nonsense. A non turbo EVO is NOT an evo. Maybe a turbo inline 6? That would be more interesting but still wouldn't ever happen to the evo.

 

LOL yeah I forgot to add turbo in to the mix, but yeah thats what I meant an inline 6 3.0l turbo. Anyway, never say never, I still remember Galants with V4 1.6l (2.0l Galants were used in the WRC in 1980s and early 1990s) engines in the 1980s and today we are up to a 6 cylinder 3.8l so anything is possible, of course it won't happen over night but slowly through EVOLUTION :P

 

Well..... I still have my 2003 and its running like a top. I have an almost overwelming desire to purchase a 2006 because I am ready to upgrade and would like to have a mivec 4G63 to play with.

I am waiting on a few things. The first is the SE EVO9. If they release something that truely makes me hard I'll get one. If not, I'm still waiting to see what the EVO10 will have to offer.

Even if the 10 isn't as good for the tuners, I'm sure once the 10 is released many poser 9 owners will be upgrading and I'll be able to find one cheap.

I'm in a holding pattern for now.

 

Evo for sure if the 2.4 is true. It doesn't seem to be true though.

 

Evo

 

Well I read a lot of things about mitsu new concepts cars... but my question is which of them are going to be out in the market (EVO X or GSX ralli art)
