I just picked up the car and driver and it gave alot of stats on the two cars. Surprisingly, car and driver estimates the evo x to be $32,000 and the sti to be $35,000. Both are estimated to have over 300 horses and torque and 12.5 for the 1/4 mile. If mitsubishi sells the evo x for that much, they better have a big stock because the new evo is going to for sure sell out.

 

yeah that info came out a few weeks ago.

 

Can 't wait till I get my issue in the mail.

 

lets see.

 

doubt it will be 32,000 though, 2 dealerships in CT have told me 39,000 and 40,000 but hey thats just speculations as well.

 

One dealership in CT told me the Evo 8 (back in 05) was the fastest street legal car and was even outlawed in Cali. Another one tried to sell me a IX MR with 2000+ miles on it that was beaten to death by an Ex-sales manager. Another one told me that they couldnt get my alignment to stock specs after installing Swift springs unless I bought camber plates or bolts.

See a trend here. People at Mitsu dealers in CT dont seem to be too bright.

Now for somthing a little on topic, those numbers are exactly what Road&Track listed in their magazine.

 

didnt like how the new X looked but after reading this mag and seeing the sti i know that alot of future subie enthusiasts will be steering towards the X. which means alot of unexperienced evo owners out there. not bad reviews though, if im not mistaken too i think i remember reading in that article of a manual 5 spd coming out for the X instead of the paddle shifter crap.......................hope so it would be a good DD........

 

Uh, not C&D but Road and Track.

 

I dont like the new 08 STI HB...yak!

 

40,000 pounds of EVO X!?? NOOOOO!!! thats a whole COW!!!! not even if i carbon fiber the whole exterior, it would just not make a difference!!! NOOO!!! Mitsu! leave the X in a DIET!!!! lol... but then again like that dude said... dealers in CT might lov to speculate... but u never kno... lets just knock on wood and call it a day...

 

Dude, De-caf. That's dollars not pounds. I highly doubt the EVO would go from 1.5 tons to 20 tons.

 

It should be about 3600 to 3800 pounds. Higher side impact and crash standards contribute to the weight gain, there's no way around it.

 

Current estimate is 3500. I think weight-shaving parts will be big sellers for the EVO X market.

 

Heck the Dodge Caliber and Jeep Compass weigh more, like 3,800 lbs. and are based on the same architecture, so Mitsu did try to make it light.

 

I'm still putting my money on 3400 to 3500 Lbs. I know some are thinking higher side impact and crash standards contribute to the weight gain, but last time I checked other manufactuers have to follow the same rules and find a way to keep the weight down.
