Did I say anything wrong? I stated "350-400 tq" so far you ve proven my point.


(I think he's a NASIOC plant) strike 1 man.... I dont even know what the hell that is.

After searching wtf man your just fishing for the dumbest things to get on me....subies suck! Now thats settled, back on topic....sst is higher maintaince then just going out and learning how to drive a stick. Its not hard at all and you get all the options of a MR or SE for a couple grand cheeper if you do it yourself.

you said 300-350tq, and the statement from the guys who know the most about these is that they can handle much more than that. also, upgrades are available to take the car into the 500-600whp/tq range. so your argumenet about the SST is an uninformed one, and you're spreading a bunch of bs.

Agreed! Like I had said, sst is new to Mitsu, which also means its new to all of our tuners. Once everything is figured out, numbers wont be such an issue. The sst tables are limited for stock numbers, Brian and many others, are starting to tweak these tables to see what they are capable of when tuned differently. As with anything new, there will be people who talk down on it and claim the older, more common thing is the only way to go. Lets not forget the GSR is a 5 speed. The MR/SE with its tranny is overall a better Evo than the GSR. An evo is a track car, its not meant for drag racing, its meant for tracks and canyon roads. The MR is proven to be faster on the track than the GSR, so imo, it makes for a better car as a whole and compliments what the car is meant to do.

They either should have released a GSR with the MR handling package (shocks/springs/rotors) (and MR suede seats?) or a MR with a manual transmission.
I see what you are saying, but this sentiment is contradictory to the complaints of the masses.

Everyone is saying that the EVOX should be built strictly as a performance car. Yet, when they accomplish that...with faster shift times and smoother acceleration, people complain.

Honestly, who among us could resist a car with a curb weight under an Evo IX, SAWC, and the rigidity of the evo X chassis. That thing would haul.
Amen to that!

Performance of the EVOX was bettered by the SST. Just saying.

True dat.

Ya, some stitching, brake upgrades, suspension, carbon fiber, and exterior changes would be sick.

Theez seem 2 convai my $.02 centz on da isshew.

Actually, dat (sic) is not true. The car was never meant to appeal to the masses, as I pointed out in a previous post. Mitsu just can't make that many:

And subie dealers will deny warranty claims for mods just as quick as mitsu will. Also when I buy AMSOIL for my new X it won't be from some X hater. Really excellent marketing apagan01
lmao!

The Evo X SE is now on mistubishi's website, but it's listed as a 2010 rather than 2011 which I heard its supposed to be called. Am I ill informed or am I just confused like the rest of us?

Mitsu is updating the site right about now (fri 27th august, 6:56 pm EST)

maybe they're adding the new Evo stuff, Outlander Sport specs, and '11 models of the rest of their cars (Lancer/Outlander) since they already updated their site with 11 Eclipsed, Gaylants and Ugh-deavors (yes, pun intended lol)
