No wonder this guy didn't want to reveal the URL at first as no one would take him seriously. Pretty much no one really knows the real numbers except for Mitsubishi. Anyway, since a blog is posting some "info", I may as well take an educated guess at final HP figures of Evo X. So all the math majors, check it out:

old base Lancer = 120HP
new base Lancer = 150HP
so an increase of about 25%

so, Evo IX = 286HP
286 *1.25 = 357.5HP
So I am gonna "speculate" and shot at 350HP Beat that

Evo IV has 286 hp and 289 lb-ft.
Evo X has 311 lb-ft according to the banned video.
Take a ratio.

(Power X)/(Power IX) = (Torque X)/(Torque IX)

(Power X) = 311*286/289 hp = 308 hp.









At the crank.

It took several days for mitsubishi to find the leaked videos on YOUTUBE which has millions of visitors, and were able to remove the videos ONLY because of youtube's copyright policy. What makes you think they're going to care about a single link with information? Lock this thread, you're full of ****.

so...you want to keep your "source" secret so they don't take it down, but if none of us can see it anyway, whats the point? why even have it if evo enthusiasts such as us, the ones who would get the most out of it, cant even view it. impressive logic indeed. Either post the link or take screen shots of the page(s) with the link blocked out, quit being a tool.

maby they are just seeing how much and for how long the new motor will take. So we would see maby 250-260 at the wheels.

So this is on an Engine Dyno?

Also, 340 at the crank will be about 251 at the wheels.

Are you sure this is stock?

If we're looking at a dyno chart (which this is) of the torque at the crank, then it must be sitting on an engine dyno. The only reason for this would be a tuner that has their hands on an Evo X ahead of time. So it's possible that this number is not completely stock. It also might be without a full set of accesories.

Don't get me wrong, the Evo X is on my short list of cars to get (a list that's only 1 car long), but I don't like FUD (F'd Up Data) floating around and being quoted as fact *cough* 3500lbs *cough*.

So, I really won't be satisfied until I see the actual Chassis Dyno numbers from a known US tuner. (not that I don't trust Japanese tuners, I just want the numbers to be from a USDM car.)

But I do hope for that 340 number to be true.
