As requested here are some pics of my new ride.


Beautiful car all the way around


Nice rear end with the aftermarket exhaust and no RC car antenna


Engine with power to spare


Nice wheel with controls for Cruise control and to my stereo, also the paddle shifters are way fun


What seat adjustment controls should look like (I hated those knobs on the Evo's)


Now this is what the center console should look like on a car

 

How does the paddle shifting work while you still have a shift knob...

Sorry, I'm clueless

 

Nice ride

 

You can do either one. It also has "automatic" mode. SMG transmission

 

Ah, ok.

Nice car Dave!

 

Thanks the Tranny in this car really is unique like no other I have driven.

Its a manual transmission that has a clutch however the clutch is actuated electronically (no pedal) when you shift either with the knob or with the paddle shifters. The result is the quick responce and power of a manual transmission with the ease and driveability of an automatic. It also has an auto mode so that it drives "like" an automatic.

This transmission was put up against formula one drivers in normal manual 6 speeds and they were not able to outshift it.

It also has adjustable setting so when the car is in "auto" mode you can set how fast (more sudden and jerky higher RPM) or slow ( softer smoother lower RPM) you want it to shift at. And at any time you can just shift manually and it will kick over to you controling it again.

Another feature I have yet to totally figure out is it has 11 different settings including launch mode where you floor the car and it holds rpm at 2500 then as soon as you put it in gear will drop clutch and launch it from there throwing you back in your seat as the traction control system struggles to keep the wheels from spinning like hell (this alone would make an M3 driver beat the average Evo driver in the 1/4) But like I said I haven't figured out all the electronics of this car yet.

 

Nice car. What are they worth$$ and what are its performance figures?

 

evo are 1/2 the price of your car.

 

It's great that you got a great car. But there is no need to knock on the EVO. Frankly, I am happy for you for getting the car but I am also quite pissed that you have to brag by knocking other people's car--the EVO in this case. It's just not cool to put other people down to make yourself feel good.

Plus, until you can actually out-drive EVO drivers out there, you should just keep these speculations to yourself.

 

he can, that's what he drove before this. know what you're talking about before you bad-mouth other people

 

I bought mine 1yr old with 6k miles for 51k it blue books for 56 with the options it has

Brand new they come anywhere from 55900-65000 depending on how its loaded mine new was about 61 it had all but 1 package on it.

performance on the car:

Rear wheel drive
333hp
262lb torque
0-60 in 4.8 seconds
1/4 mile 13.3 seconds @ 106.8
Lateral acceleration .92g
Top speed 155 (electronically limited) with bypass chip I'm told 175ish


also yes evo's are half the cost of my car and for performance cars they are a great buy I owned and was pleased with my Evo for over a year but I wanted more out of a car and was willing to pay to get that extra luxury class and style.

And just for the record I wasn't knocking Evo's as stated they are great cars I was merely using one as a point of referance.

 

Sweet Ride!......If I only had the $$$ I would trade in my Evo for the M3 anyday

aloha!
ran

 

Arr......I am sorry.....My bad.....I didn't know you were out-driven by him. You are right....in this case you WOULD know better than I do.

 

rofl, I drive a reg. lancer, of course he could out drive me, but he's my room-mate, and we've been to a lot of meets, he can most definitely out-drive many many EVO drivers

 

ahh..finally pics...sweet car dave, i'll have to get a ride in it next time i come up to oregon
