i'll bet that one has the sayc which we won't get. waaaaaa.

 

Yeah I wouldn't expect to see SAYC in the US IX.

 

mmmmm I love the vids. He makes it look so easy. lol

 

There's only so much you can cram into a car...

Anyone figure out how to play those SWF files? All I can play is the RM files... Which is just an VIII MR vise a IX that everyone is supposedly talking about...

 

Anybody think that the steering looks quicker?

For some reason it looks really quick to me

 

nah, I dont think it looks any quicker. You have to take into consideration the quality of the vids too. Timeing on everything was just a bit off.

 

Nah... It doesn't look any quicker... But those pedals look pretty nice..

 

I believe .swf files are shockwave files. I would just make sure you have the latest version of shockwave and it should play right in your browser.

i like it doesn't have the pontiac front grill anymore!!! the ic looks hot filling out the front opening of the bumper.

 

i was thinking though...with the front bumper design, im afraid it looks like you will have to upgrade the front bumper if you want to add a larger IC core...you can always go thicker i suppose, but wider and taller will require a new bumper design

 

Ok guys, for those of you who don't understand french. When he is interviewed after his run, he is asked what he feels is different between the current EVO8 MR and the new EVO9. He says the 2 main points are

1) road handling: the car feels more stable, firmer and more precise therefore faster in the twisties.
2) turbo response: there is less turbo lag and greater turbo response and the car has more low end power.

 

You are correct. Panizi says the car has more precise steering.

 

anyone hear the bov? whooosh, especially when he lets go of the throttle. Is the car stock???

 

I can translate what he said. Although I have not speaking french for nearly 5 years, I'll try my best.


He said there are two essential points when compared with the evo 8 MR. The evo 9 car is firmer, more precise and more stable which vertically makes the car faster (his own words not mine).


second point is that the turbo's power is a lot more responsive and feels a lot stronger which gives the car a more racy character in that case the car is racier.

Hey did you guyes notice the chrome rim around the gauges? maybe or maybe not but it sure looks like they are chrome.

 

Nice video. I like how the front and rear bumper looks. It has the same aluminum roof from the MR. When it really comes here in U.S. I hope they come in black.
