Who All Thinks Mutsu Has Something Up It's Sleve?????
 
I just have a feeling that all these people that are tesing the Evo X aren't testing the real one.....maybe it is my @$$ talking but i have a feeling that the TMS reveal car is gonna be a surprise.....at least 10 to 20 hp more would be nice

whats a sleve? lol jp, but i think what you see is what you get, but thatd be sweet if they did

No, I dont think so. Makes no sense, cause I assume they use the reviews and crap as a marketing scheme to market their car. So if ur giving the reviewers a washed down verison of the evo, thus leading to a bad review. In what possible way is it helping mitsubishi make money? They want to build hype not destroy it.

I think it's pretty freaking close. I did read one that said they were still doing final ECU mapping but, I don't see them finding another 50hp or anything like that.

That's what the tuners are for.

I wouldn't expect any appearance changes though.

i understand your point but wouldnt it recieve more publicity if it came at TMS being a total surprise....

ya, if anything the real version will only differ by maybe 10hp max
seems legit to me

The only thing they have left is SST...

I can't imagine being THAT much faster than the manual. Regardless, I will still get one...

they have bankruptcy up their sleeve... lol

Stuntfly02 Sep 25, 2007 07:24 PM

Actually Japan doesnt always get the better car. Im pretty sure the national law is still a car from the factory cant have more than 280hp....This law may have been repealed but im not sure

Not a law, its was gentleman's agreement that they will not make/rate cars over 280 ps.

derangedazn Sep 25, 2007 07:32 PM

actually it is not law....it is a common agreement between the Japanese automakers to not post anything more than 280hp, in order to prevent a hp war. And we wont be getting a better version than the Japanese because of our strict laws.

lemmonhead Sep 25, 2007 07:48 PM

ya they got something up their sleeves. everyone will have the WOW factor when test driving the car. dont be fooled.

The real test is whether the wing will survive after idiots wreck them.
