Here is another review on the New Evo X.

 

WTF, the X keeps getting slower and slower to 60. C&D gave it 0-60 in 5 sec, R&T in 5.2, now MotorTrend is saying 5.4. I don't care about if it's faster on the Track. I don't Track my car every weekend, but i do Flog it 0-60 every chance i get. I'm disappointed with the X, so glad I have the last true Evo, the IX.

 

Yeah i hear ya on the speed estimates. I get the feeling C&D drove it, but Motor Trend didn't.

 

They both drove it according to what they wrote. You know...there WERE driving impressions and all.

I wish it was quicker in a straight line, but that won't be hard to fix.

 

they are just testing the same car that other mag have tested and those car aren't 100% finalize/tune. I'm pretty sure it'll be faster than 5 sec 0-60 when the real deal hits the shore.

 

+1

Just wait for the production one !!

 

X with SST can do manual shift in Super-Sport-Mode. That's great!

 

FYI - I believe the VI was/is faster, lighter, and more nimble than the VII-IX. So it's no surprise "IF" the final version of the X is a little slower.

 

I don't know if you guys saw that video on youtube of Kino****a (Evo Master from Best Motoring) driving the Evo X but the shifts looks INSANELY fast on the TCSST. He wasn't even in s-sport mode, he was was in sport. Although I hate paddle shifts and automatics, I think the Evo X MR tranny will be pretty crazy. Its nice that the MR has two piece Brembos, and wider wheels also. If the X MR looked and little more agressive, had a 4G63 and a normal 6-spd I would have been all over it. I take it all back...I forgot it has dual exhausts. One Megan is good enough for me.

 

One question...

WHERE'S THE FOGLIGHTS?!?! >_>

Or is that a option that's not on these JDM test X's :l

" The rear wing stays, however, standard on the MR and optional on the GSR, as a backward-baseball-cap salute to the boy racers. "




"hard-core fanatics intent on mounting track-day jihads"

 

"Evos VII-IX were based on a vehicle designed more for AARP members than WRC fans and resulted in a disproportionately tall greenhouse and an awkward profile."


I hear echoes of my GF asking, "why do you want to get a Lancer again?" lol

 

Lancer again? That's very funny.

 

We need numbers for the SST model. Correct me if Im wrong, but the all these reviews are based on the MT model, right?
