so slower...heavier...better interior but handles better.

I am a bit disappointed, nonetheless, I will still be getting one.

mm interesting..nice find!

I'm happy to hear you can get the base 5MT without the ridiculous rear wing. I know it's semi-functional, but not on public roads.

Dual clutch is overrated imo, still prefer to row manually.

mcflyguy24

Looks like 07 Acura TL-S wheels on there. Not a bad ride handling wise or power wise, but it sure is fugly IMO.

stangg172004

have you driven a dual clutch car?

nokiaman

I think an Evo would look boring without the ridiculously huge rear wing.Same thing goes with the STi

nicholbr

Not a fan at all of the exterior styling. Too "grocery getter" in drag for me

At least the wing is a little more modest compared to the previous generation. This is, in my mind, the only improvement in appearance.

dammit 13.8 quarter time. which is only 2 tenths of a second quicker than a Mazdaspeed 3.
I was praying for something like 12.5 quarter time.

I can't see shit...got link?

The new Evos .. the new WRXs .. Oh, how the mighty have fallen.

mltk53

haha tru

Yep, took a spin in the GTI and it was a hoot. I can certainly appreciate the advantages on the track. But on the street, call me old school. In a sporty car, I simply prefer a manual - it just feels right.

Also, they haven't been around in enough mass quantities to know the long term reliability (or so an engineering buddy of mine told me).

We'll soon all be hearing stories of a guy that a guy knows that just put an intake and exhaust on is Evo X and is running high 12's in the quarter.

stright-(paint)balling

i hope that's a joke?
that's being aweful positive with just an intake,and cat back or even turbo back.
cut a full second of your 1/4 mile with just an intake and exhaust(which only MAYBE makes 20-25 crank hp)

revitupwriteitoff

great car

now, may I have my tail light back?

AS3.0CL

oo red outs on the IS, just like mine. rev, our cars are sexier haah. i think the evo X is a great car, it looks aggressive in the front. i bet there will be host of mods that will come out for it to be power house just like the Evo 9.

revitupwriteitoff

yeah...it's a sexy car alright. I'm going to go with blackouts, I think - I'm working on blacking my emblems right now, though.


I have yet to see one Evo, though.

Brandon24pdx

Link must be fubar. I kind of wanted to read it to...Evo X is not on my short list as a future car, but I'm curious to see if this one will at all live up to expectations. It seems like Mitsubishi has kind of cheapened the Evolution image.

I don't know how to edit my first post and the images are down. So i rehosted the images

Yes I was being sarcastic

Edr0e

Aluminum block 4B11 engine

S-AYC sounds cool as we never got that in the states on previous models.

My stock evo 9 put 245whp on the dynojet.

With simple bolt ons - 02 housing, 2.75 inch downpipe, 3'' test pipe (catless), 3''catback exhaust, boost controller and and an ECU tune I dynoed 325whp, 315tq.

^^ Nice. I still think the X will not be a true Evo.

sho_nuff1997

iTrader: (2)

is that the same as the prototype x?





this car looked pretty good in person. not sure about the specs though, they didnt have em listed. i apologize for my crappy photos

FiftyFive

I didn't say that nothing is better than MY EVO. There are alot of things better than my Evo. The Evo X will be better. It's just that, a lot of people (including I) think that they are moving away from the roots of the Evo with the X. Not to mention they threw out the 4G63. Get over yourself.

They want it to appeal to a broader range of people.

FiftyFive

There are people with VIIIs and IXs with nothing more than an exhaust and a tune that can pull high 12s.

FiveLiterCheater

Damn, I like the current gen. better. This one is ugly beyond words (IMO)

AznX TL

new one=poop. slower on straight and handles worse.
X pulled 0.97g on skid pad..............but the ix pulled a 0.98g.
and first evo to get rid of 4g63 ftl. but dont worry the new evo engine will also be featured in the new srt-4 replacement.

Eoanou

I like the front fascia a lot, both new and old gen. I think the only problem is that the car is slower, I thought their intentions were to make it faster, not slower. 13.8 on a AWD Turbo isn't very impressive, but then again they don't get the high rpm launch, so.

Eoanou

*edit* stupid me they were base testing the 5spd, just read the whole C&D article.

Eoanou

I don't get it, why use an aluminum motor? And how is this car so heavy? Lightweight wheels, seats, an all aluminum body, lighterweight motor, and this car still is heavier.

AznX TL

dual exhaust,dual cats along with it, more interior extras.

Eoanou

I'm thinking if I get one how can I reduce weight.

stright-(paint)balling

take out the spare, take out the jack, take out the carpet, take out the back seat, take out the passenger seat, take out any sound deadening material, pretty much anything that isn't safety or mechanically required pull it out.

FiftyFive

FYI, the dual exhaust ways 100+ pounds. Replace it with a single titanium one and the car will weigh in very slightly above the IX
