ROAD/RACE- 08 Lancer...Here we Come.
Well u see there is a problem with this 152HP rating. The 2004 RA had like 172 Hp crank and was putting down like 132 wheel HP. Now then there is a dyno sheet on the ES on this web site called (test drove 2008 lancer ES)and the thing was putting down like 142 Wheel HP and they said that the 152 HP rating was lowwer then what it really is. There is now way you are only losing 10HP from crank to wheel . So dont go by this rating I had a 04RA and this car feels faster then my old RA and it turns better for dam sure

im sure with a lot of tuning and everything it can be done, just remember these cars just came out so nobody has really got the chance to dig into it yet, im sure in a few months to a year the aftermarket scene will be flooded with it and within a couple years we may as well see 300hp




other than it not being an evo lol
