The base is actually $22k. You still get a lot of bang for you buck with that though, and its a freaking sweet looking car. I would love to get one but its not happening.

As for the original post, I would say that assuming Kenjuro is talking about bhp, I would say its possible to get to 200 hp from bolt ons with an 09 GTS, but its a waste of money. The best performance you can get from an n/a 4 cylinder comes through the suspension - you're not going to get any power from it, and the little power you do get from it will cost you quite a bit. If you're looking for power, just get a turbo or a car with a larger displacement engine. If you're looking for a somewhat quick, peppy car that you can make handle well, then I would say you can't go wrong with a GTS.

I would say get an intake, maybe an exhaust/axleback, maybe headers, and tune it. Then go for broke on the suspension - get some quality struts, quality springs that'll drop the car about an inch or so, strut bars and anti-sway bars all around, and get yourself some good summer tires.

Just my opinion. Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

 

not off the bat from what ive been told, but if they dig deeper they will find out. and they might reflash it back without knowing theyre even doing anything because u havent told em u have a flash. u might want to msg bill@works n ask him for more specifics or hit their website worksevo.com

 

+1 all around

def full exhaust n ecu tune lol...tein coilovers should be comkin soon thru RRM...they made a set jus for rrm and there are pics up..search the forum theres a thread on it. looks dope cant wait for em..plus rrms suspension package n we good to go mayne

ultra lightweight wheels ftw, big brake kit..brake line kit, list goes on, new steerin wheel...

 

My local CARMAX has a used 09 GTS for 15,9K, 6K miles, is that a good deal? I built one on the Mitsu website and with all the offers it came up to $17,285. Whicked white or rotor glow metallic.

 

i would personally never buy a car from a place that rents car but to each its own...
anyways, is the car loaded or base

 

Base, no Navi.

thats tough, because I would say no to buying a rental, but with only 6k on it, there's a very small chance it was really abused

 

id say ask em how many times its been rented..how many diff people..that kinda ish u know..the records

other than that i think its a goo deal mayne...

 

I have said this before, and this isnt directed at your swankin, but I think you guys should be more concerned about TQ not HP. The main reason is, this is a TQ engine, not a HP engine, its geared towards TQ. The realization of that can be seen just by looking at EVO X dyno sheets. That said, if you are able to bring your Lancer to life and that high of a level, you will hit 200WTQ before you hit 200WHP.

 

ugh if thats true..that sucks..that means autocross only if i wanna really do the best wit this eh? i was hopin to be rippin tracks not parking lots

 

yeah just go get an evo....like you got an extra 30k laying around oh and then factor in your insurance too

 

Off Topic - Genesis coupes are in Dealers, nice cars in my Opinion.

Now, Im looking for a WW 09 GTS low miles. Let me know if you know of anyone trying to get rid of their car.

 

Remember, contrary to what many people think. TQ is more important than HP in terms of our cars.

remember that.

 

EVOSOUL: Not to get off topic, but was just curious what the status was of your testing with the air intakes for the Lancers? I know you had some technical difficulties with the Canadian ECU"S, so was just following up and seeing if this project was still in effect? Thanks again for your advice and expertise!!!!

 

Your testing of air intakes might help some of the guys on this forum reach their 200 Hp goals
