Please how can you compare a SRT-4 to an EVO, isn't worth the extra money, hell yeah it is. While I give props to the SRT-4 for being an awesome car, but it's no where near the Evolution. 1st off the EVO is faster, the EVO is capable of running 1/4 mile times at 13.5 seconds and lower, I've witnessed one in person lay down a 13.3 second 1/4 mile bone freaking stock. The SRT-4 lays down 14.0 to 14.2 second 1/4 mile times, the fastest I've ever seen it tested at is 13.9. Not bad, but not EVO level. Now here is where the money really starts to count in the handling and braking department, the SRT-4 is no where near the EVO in those departments, the EVO brakes harder and handles better than cars that cost over a $100,000 more than it does, on the race track, the EVO hangs with cars costing well over $50,000 and higher, the SRT-4 could only dream of doing that.While the SRT-4 responds well to modifications, so does the EVO, with basic bolt ons, EVOs are running low 12s, and if you know anything about turbos, then you know that the 4G63 is one of the most tunnable turbo engines around. The SRT-4 is great car, but not an EVO, a bhetter match for thye SRT-4 is the WRX, and honestly I can't say for sure that SRT-4 even has the WRX beat. |

| DwZX35 19-7-2003 |
they are both awesome, but i'd just like to say that the SRT-4 is much more worth the money for a turbocharged 4 cylinder, the Evo costs a full 1 grand more, and if you think about it, isnt 148 a bit fast for a neon? |

couple questions... what year is your wrx? is it an STi? have you done much to it or is it stock? i love WRX's and just dont like the look of the evo... i also dont like mitsubishi that much. so i may be a bit biased but if you have a WRX STi and you hook it up (not that theres much that can be made better) i would find it hard to believe that it could not compete with the evo |

| 03silversrt 15-6-2003 |
I am just letting everyone know that the stage 2 kit on my 03 srt-4 along with new motor mounts put me to mid 12s for less than 25grand. I live in texas with crappy air so it would probaly go quicker near sea level. I have only been beaten by a few supra's thats it, but they have more like 700hp. Ive beat WRX's so bad they turned aronnd at mid track and went home.I dynoed at 328fwhp so just keep making the assumption that neons(srt's) are slow:) |
| EVOV111- amazing |
| energy2 12-6-2003 |
I raced one of these cars last night in my wrx, and it blew me away. I think it looks amazing, you can tune it to produce 350bhp very easily, and it blows me away when i am mashing the thottle in 2nd in my scooby. But does anyone know how does it feel to have this 'yaw contorl?'. The guy that had the evov111 also had fitted launch control, this car is BAD. cheap, super fast, and good kudos. hope to get one soon |

Have you ever experienced an EVO in real life? To start with, just for the record, I have, I previously owned a VI and I now drive a VII. Just to give you some facts, I tried both on the 1/4 mile and I put the VII on a static dyno. The VII was totally stock on the dyno with only a little more than 600 miles on the clock i.e. just had the first oil change done and the engine far from 100% broken in. It put out 198.2 kW at the wheels at 6,510 rpms, that should be around 270hp, depending on how much loss you calculate through the transmission on a 4wd car you get different figures but I even if you calculate low, say 10% you are really close to 300hp at the crank. It also put out 360Nm of torque at 3,490 rpms also on the wheels which should be close to 400 at the crank. On a dynamic dyno this would have been even higher. On the strip both cars had some minor modifications like 3� exhausts and open air filters but no major expensive stuff. The VI was clocked at 12:87 and the VII slightly slower at 13:07. I've only tried the 1/4 mile on those two occations so I'm sure those times could be slightly better with some practise. You said, and I quote, �I challenge either vehicle to run a high 13's-104 mph terminal speed in the quarter� I then say that you are beaten and beaten bad, an SRT-4 wouldn�t stand a chance. Sorry if my English isn�t perfect but I�m from Sweden. /Thomas |

"We've had this car here in New Zealand since it was first brought out from Japan and this is the best model yet; the car performs perfectly. As far as money for performance goes, this is one of the best cars ever, only beaten by possibly the Nissan 350Z, but they're in totally different classes." |

An EVO was among a number of 'supercars' that set new slalom records during a Motor Trend speed challange I saw on Speed Channel this weekend (not sure of the original air date). It finished second only to the Mosler Photon(74 mph) in this category. If I remember correctly, the max speed obtained was 159 mph. All in all, not bad for the price. Hopefully in time the styling will mature a bit. |

"I just bought this car and very impatiently took my dealers advice and waited til I had 750 miles clocked before I went over 4000RPM. Well today was the day. This car is absolutely incredible. It sticks to the road like glue, steers like a go cart and builds power like a rocket ship. Compare waht you will, moan what you want but this car absolutely screams. Don't believe me? read this: ""It rushes up to its redline with more urgency than Dom Deluise being shot by a catapult toward a chocolate cake."" -Automobile" |

I drove a Evo 7 rally car and a evo street car the difference between them is 110 bhp. The rally car is chip tuned and is very cheap there is also a chip for 360 bhp. It's drives much better as a subaru wrx/wrc |

Hey fellas I just drove the EVO, WRX (not STI) and Audi TT 225 All wheel drive and heres how I list them. TT/EVO/WRX. TT-- I know (41k) but it's mainly on fit and finish..it was a blast driving. When driving this car I had no idea how fast I was driving throught these corners. Its an easy car to drive. As for the EVO I had this sh#@ eatting grind from ear to ear. IT was by far one Bad A%$ car. The power when it came on was out of control!! It was so much funn to drive that I was stunned, it's insane!! What a sleeper this car is. For the money 30k you get alot of car. There's just to much to list... this is a winner!!! As for WRX...its was weak compared to the others. Hold on I am sure it has its fun factor... but the entire time I drove this car I was still thinking about THE EVO! Lets hope the STI has something to say about this!! |
| yup |

"Okay, for all those who say the Dodge SRT is better than the Evo, let me clue you in on some things. First, the Evo has proven itself in the World Rally Championships many times over while the SRT has NEVER been in a big rally event. Second, the Evo is going to be one of the premium/main cars in the upcoming movie 2 Fast 2 Furious. The SRT has NO recognition in that movie, so everyone shut up about the stupid SRT. Oh, and by the way, I have a Lancer Evo VIII so nobody say ""I-don't-have-any-experience-driving-one-so-I-shouldn't-talk"" crap. First off, no the SRT-4 (Neon)isn't better than the new evolution, but it is 12 grand cheaper. Second, the SRT series hasn't been around for more than 3 years, no wonder they haven't established anything in rally (why rally matters I dont know). Third, what does 2F2F have to do with anything? They dub the friggen car SOUNDS for **** sake! The Evolution is an extremely impressive car, but if your comparing to to the 20 THOUSAND dollar SRT-4, and saying the SRT-4 is better, then well, your biased. BTW- I would choose the SRT-4 over the cvo, simply because I could get the stage 3 turbo and have 300+ hp easily." |

| Ferrari942 6-5-2003 |
"markhp, how can you say the evo 8 and sti are ugly boxy cars based off of slow compacts when the neon srt-4 is just the same thing? stop being ethnocentric (descriminating against japanese cars, only admiring american cars) and realize that the evo and sti will DESTROY the crap box neon around a track. r&t rated the evo 0-60 at 4.8 seconds and the sti at 4.9, compared to the srt's 5.6 seconds. go ahead and look at it, june 2003 issue of road and track, page 98 and 117. thats almost a second's difference, well worth the extra 10,000 dollars. i'm not saying the neon is bad; it's a very good bang for the buck at 20,000 dollars, but evo 8 and sti are clearly faster automobiles." |
| Dilemma-$30K for the EVO, $35K for the WRX Sti-Simple |
| markhp48g 5-5-2003 |
"Easy answer kids-don't blow that kind of money on either overrated Rodan Warrior. Their 0-60 (sub 5s) & 1/4 mile times have yet to be documented by a reliable US source; also, try to work on the things yourselves!, much less get parts for them at any thing less than a BMW price; oh, but in your favor, you'll look great in a pumped up Oriental RC racer for a brief moment, until the next gen comes forth & if yours is still operational. No one will remember their lines in 5 years since the mfg's change model desigations so often; what's next: Mitsu 'Lancer' EVO MM BR-549, Subaru 'Impreza' WRX SR-71; who cares!!!, since they are both based on a bland Japanese subcompact chassis & then taking you to the cleaners with their boy racer versions. Save youself at least $10K, buy the Neon SRT-4, if you can find one since their press & owners' reviews have been exemplary; then you've got a real sleeper with charm, usable room & affordable technical muscle to impress, along with extra dough to pursue those hot gals that can put more fire in your spirit than any overpriced Pacific hot rod pretender.

| Better than the STi |
| viper21 23-4-2003 |
This car is soooo much better than the 2004 WRX STi it looks better and is already on sale! I saw one over the weekend ohhhhh, I wish I had a job! it hasn't even been out for very long and there are already Tuners are all over it. YES!! Now all we have to do is get MotoRex to bring the price of the R-34 down and we'd have a real horsepower war. |
| why we want it |
| Buzzbee 22-4-2003 |
We don't want the evo just because of its specs but also because of the image it has. The past evos were great cars, and we got respect for the company. I don't care how long you can say good things about the srt-4 but forever in my mind it will be that peice of crap neon that i've seen, and you can't change that. stock evo does about 5.0 sec 0-60 and the STI is better but you have to pay 5K more to get it then the evo. which would you pay 30K for evo or 35K for STI. |
| EVO-zero to slightly higher-The Facts |
| markhp48g 18-4-2003 |
"The EVO or Sube WRX in stock form, i.e. no mods, have not officially been documented by any reputable car mag in the U.S. as having achieved a 0-60 time under 5 secs. I don't want to hear your own time trial testaments on this one, since the majority of you have substandard spelling, grammar & tech savy. Other fictitious stories abound; weaving in & out of traffic in the ZERO at 130(maybe 130 kmh) with grace-yeah right; burning an S4 Audi-you don't stand a chance with the latest version at 390+ hp; launching without the clutch will set you back in the seat-sure, since you don't have enough torque to do so. For your info, the latest hot Mustang GT Cobra/SVT with 390 hp or thereabouts has to work at it to get in the high 4 sec range. For starters, try to hang with the guy in Dodge Neon SRT-4, Juveniles, which I sincerely doubt you can-MLH" |

The car used to be good. Japan decided to change it for the American market. Now it is less agressive, slower, and (maybe) leaning towards becoming a luxury sedan instead of a rally car. Perhaps Japan thinks fat lazy Americans don't want a rally car. |
| Aftermarket |
| mr villan 18-4-2003 |
listen up. the wrx sti is a great car there is no doubt about that, but this is the first or second year the evo has actually been in america. the wrx has been hear a tad bit longer. do you really expect the evo to not have any aftermarket parts to blow the sti out of the water. it already cost less for these mods. ralli art is creating a performance shop for there die hard customers. and on top of all that, what makes all you die hard wrx fans think that the evo 9 is going to be some little punk. the wrx has shown there top dollar this year, so the only logical market death blow to subaru is to make the evo 9 ass bad to the assss as possible. i sill have love for the wrx but my love for the evo was way before any vidieo game!! p.s. ford sucks. p.s. except for the mustang. :) |

You're right, 1/4 mile owned my muscle, and if thats all you're interested in, then by all means go get something that will suit your tastes. I'm looking at the best all around car (STi? EVO?). You have cars here that WILL and HAVE without any mods break the 5 second mark in 0-60, don't beleive try it yourself. And do yourself a favor, make sure any car you test is broken in for a true test. Don't knock what you haven't tested yourself. I'm going for a car that will weave through traffic on the highway at 130 with no probs and confidence that I'll be able to slow down/stop when coming up on a packed road section. Weary about passing when theres a corner you can't see past? If you can see space to get into, thats all you need. Oh, and Audi does not own the AWD market. Credits to them for starting it, but I blew away an S4 yesterday. Keep in mind this Lancer is STOCK. |
| Added note |
| tkvtec 16-4-2003 |
The WRX has NADA against the EVO VIII, i've driven both. Wait until you can test an STi. The styraight WRX has jack and everybody knows that. Thats why I've waited so long. I was happy when the WRX got here but it didnt meet any of my expectations. The STi is the real deal, and so is the EVO |
| To All |
| tkvtec 16-4-2003 |
Have any of you driven the new Evo VIII? Have any of you driven all of these different cars to make a valid comparison? Most likely not. Well I have driven an Evo VIII, and a good ole 68 GTO with a 455 pushing 500+hp. Lets not forget the evolution of technology here. There's a reason things have changed. The mighty muscle had its time along with poor fuel economy. Granted, they have all the power they need and when they need it, but thats not all thats necessary. Like you said, snow is a major factor with 4-wheel drive in its favor versus the rear wheel drive muscle cars. Don't get me wrong, I love the muscle cars to death, but don't knock newer technology because you're all about Brute power. Put that GTO I drove through a slalom course...It would be lucky to be 10 mph slower. Todays needs are lighter better handling cars that are more fuel efficient, otherwise there would be no o-zone. Another thing, just go test drive an Evo, I'm sure there's a dealer there that will be happy to let you test your theories and give you an opportunity to question your thoughts on new technology. Sure theres power right from the start on big NA motors, and yes there is Turbo lag, but do this for me, take an Evo. out. Bring it on the highway, and get it up to 135 and feel the confidence in the steering, make sharp cuts at a buck ten and be more confident and controlled than most cars are at 75. Ease up on new technology until you at least give it a try. And yes the Evo will produce 4.5 second 0-60 times. Don't beleive it? then try it without even dropping the clutch. It'll surprise the shit outta ya when its under 5 seconds. Then try dropping the clutch and see if you can still keep your head forward as your intestines shoot out your back. |
| Horsepower is Work-Torque is Energy & The EVO has no Stealth |
| markhp48g 15-4-2003 |
"Steve-o & other Mitsu Morons, The definition of power, namely what we know as horsepower or work will not be redefined in the 21st century, nor has its energy cousin-torque undergone any transformations since their inception. Let's put it on your level-simple, you can't have one without the other & a subtle balance of the two along with low mass is what is required to accelerate rapidly. The high spooling small displacement engines offered by Mitsu & Fuji cannot fully utilize the delicate balance between work & energy for a couple of reasons. Foremost, stout low end torque numbers are a must in a 3000-3500 lb. vehicle-originating in the 2000-3000 rpm range to get off the line quickly. Secondly, the ability to grasp that max horsepower is essential & that it occurs shortly after the former-something a leaf blower motor like the EVO cannot fully utilize with its 3300+ lbs. of mass-so to speak, coupled with the friction losses incurred with a complex all wheel drive system. AWD is great for inclement weather or adverse terrain driving, but not in a true road race or street sense-just look what the boys run in the big leagues-Indy, NHRA, Formula 1, etc. So here's my last word: EVO-zero to 60 under 5 sec, not today; WRX-no way; if small displacement turbo AWD is the way to go, does anyone even remember the Mitsu 3000 GT-VR4/Stealth, Z-car or Maz-RX7 turbos, or really give a damn? as they would a genuine, classic slow turning V-8 Vette, Stang, GTO, or Charger. The little SRT-4 with its larger/longer stroke 4 and a substantial portion of low end torque, in accordance with that tricky understated hp for insurance purposes, is upsetting a lot of saki sled fans like yourself-but that's what it was supposed to do. Thank ya very much-MLH" |
| Listen up. |

"OK: To the guy who says the EVO has no ""soul"" compared to the WRX. It's not homely like the WRX. The WRX is a great car but it's got ugly body cladding, terrible headlight and even uglier tailights. It also has about 50 (or so) fewer horses. While you take your ""soulful"" WRX to church to pray for some power, I'll be out enjoying my stealth rocket. To the guy who says the EVO won't run as fast in the quarter as the Neon SRT-4, or that you need ""serious"" low end torque to produce fast 0-60 times, let me introduce you to the 21st century: Quick spooling turbos and torque peak at under 4K is more than enough to feed tarmac to your precious boy-racer Dodge." |
| EVO Vs. WRX |
| iPaQ86 10-4-2003 |
I prefer the WRX's styling, it looks more agressive than the EVO. And the EVO is SOULESS... it lacks character. The WRX has tonnes of it though, with that intoxicating boxer engine as opposed to the EVO's boring sounding engine. THe EVO may be faster, and the power delivery is linear, but the WRX has that OH-MY-GOD push once the turbo spools up at about 4000rpm... Just ask yourself. Would u rather have a girlfriend who's full of character rather than one devoid of character? The WRX gets my vote. |
| MFG's performance claims are overblown |
| markhp48g 8-4-2003 |
"For all of you taken by Mitsu's & Sube's claims for their stated hp-torque figures, along with their subsequent 0-60 times, then their advertizing is taking a lot of morons like yourselves for a ride. Their 280-300 hp numbers are just Oriental factory proclamations & do not coincide with actual race shop or SAE dyno data. If you want to accelerate to 60 mph in less that 5 secs, in a 3300-3500 lb. car, then you're going to need some serious hp & low end torque values to do so, values which answer to the likeness of Vette, Viper & Stang Cobra. Conclusion-no damn EVO or WRX will achieve what their producers claim without some serious high dollar modifications; additionally I challenge either vehicle to run a high 13's-104 mph terminal speed in the quarter-as documented by the deceivingly wicked Neon SRT-4 in stock form-and its mfg stated hp/torque are suprisingly understated-MLH, engr" |
| Talk is cheap!! |
| silverevo8 5-4-2003 |
Hey, most of you guys making all the negative comments on the EVO8 need to lighten up and stop talking trash. Even if you are totally biased aginst it, you'll have to admit the EVO is one fine machine. I suggest you try to beg of finagle a ride or better yet a test drive of the EVO8... Then come back and say all you are gonna say about it... Until then, all the EVO hating talk is just empty talk. I trade in a WRX (at one time it was chipped and exhausted) on my EVO and I've buitl and driven some very neat cars (Supercharged and turbocharged Miatas, supercharged and suspension upgraded Integra GSR,280zx turbo, 300zx, 190E 16valve Mercede, and lots more in the distant past...). The EVO8 is like driving a perfectly tuned and highly modified sports sedan...There is no comparison with any of the other cars I had before. Sure, there are other great cars out there and some might edge it out in performace or other factors, but in no way deserves the unfair and unsupported critizism of people who only know the car from reading magazines and holding erroneous prejudices. |

| kheldar 2-4-2003 |
whoever it was said an evo has never won a rally championship...do you even follow the world rally tommi makkinen won like 4 in a row in an evo lancer he had the evo 6.5 named after him as someone that's driven an evo 6 (not a seven or eight yet) i can say it's an awesome car quicker than a porsce boxter s i drove and the m3 though not near as comfortable:) personally i'm a fan of any performance car badges don't mean much to me |

As an owner of the new Evo, I has some real cred on this ishoo. It is a real rod that smokes any other car in its class. I don't know bout this biz that itsa rolling pile o crap. It rides solid, like my '02 M3. Fact, I like it better in some ways, worse in others but it sin the game for sure. And find I prefer driving it to the Beemer. The STi will surely give the Evo a run for the cash, but I hears its gonna cost a lot more change. No knocks on it, though. It will be a sweet ride. Right now, I love the Evo and don't know any other moto that can match it. |
| ok WHAT IS UP WITH ALL OF THIS!!! |
| Tammy 18-3-2003 |
See here are some facts, I am a huge fan of the evolution, but the fact is that it has never won a world rally champion ship........and unfortunately in the past few years its been doing poor, now the WRX, is a good car, all thumbs up to Subaru, and the Neon, come on now, u all mock till u have been in that car, its actually decent, no need to put it down, cause its domestic, does it not have mitsubishi for a heart, or what??? so unless u have either of these cars, then I would quit talking and comparing, and having ordered one doesn't count, I mean I drive the neon for now, maybe switch to the WRX, but untill then I like what I have, and I like it for the simple fact that it is MINE!!! so instead of talking too much, I just like to say that u guys need to be more open minded, and find out your facts before u talk, I only go by facts not what I believe to be true!!! so Welcome the Evolution with open arms, but till then live with the greatness of my mitsu' neon' WRX!!!! |
| Just Shut Up |
| JustShutUp 17-3-2003 |
"Ok....enough of this crap. Unless you have the EVO VIII, quit talking like you even driven one!!! Luckily, I have put my order in so I will be able to talk like I know what I am talking about later. Meanwhile, shut up about the Audi, Neon. And indeed, Audi is a freakin luxury not performance..so no comparison. And as for the Neon, let's wait until real facts before making any assumptions. So unless you have the freakin Neon, EVO, WRX or whatever....quit arguing on only what you ""READ""!" |
| A neon's a neon |
| skyline2424 14-3-2003 |
I just wanted to comment on what some people have said about the neon being beter then the lancer and wrx. are you freakin crazy! how do you compare a DODGE NEON to an all-wheel drive rally inspired, turbo touring car like the subaru wrx and lancer evo? first of all, the neon doesnt even come close to compare with the handling or stability of the wrx, and even if a raod test said it was faster in accelleration, the lancer does 0-60 in 4.8, a neon does it in 5.8 and does the quarter mile alot slower than both the wrx and the lancer. the neons a grandma car and a compact family car. it will never be anything more than that! so qiut trying to defend it and quit complaining about japanese cars being rice! your just jelous that an sti subaru can beat your hopped up mopar neon. |
| evo/wrx in league of its own |
| hkingkong 12-3-2003 |
I dont think the neon/audi belongs to this group. The evo/wrx are rally/race ready cars. U sit in a wrx u notice the odd ride height, wide body and wheel well clearance clearly designed for rally, no fold-down rear seat/sunroof for structural stiffness, cheap thin paint for weight reduction, huge foglight/hood scoop and the engine/transmission that can handle 300+ hp and proven reliability. audi S4/TT are luxury car with their expensive leather seat/ and quiet interior, smooth twin turbo, more expensive price tag and heavier weight. oh and the neon. may be they should try winning a few WRC races to earn our respect before we even put them here. |
| Another overblown Mitsu Zero, er...EVO |
| markhp48g 27-2-2003 |
The EVO & Sube WRX in whatever version vii..x-who cares, literally claim to have no equal in the subcompact performance category, but they are in for a profound surprise. Both can be burned in the straights by a Chryco Neon SRT4 as verified just recently in a couple of performance mags. I believe the results would be comparable on a closed course face off. So, if you want to spend $25K plus for the Sube, or $32K for the Zero & add all the rice rocket performance tricks, go ahead. The $20,00 King Kong SRT4 will stomp the sushi out of those Oriental Reptiles from Detroit to Tokyo. By the way, the Neon SRT4 was recently dyno'd at around 270-280 hp & that's before any Dodge performance goodies, maybe that's why it kicks bootee. MLH-engr |

And besides, i'v been waiting to damb long for this flipin car to get to the states.....for god sakes what the hell took so flipin long! But my fellow lancer lovers out there, i promise to find some kind of flipin agressive kit for this car or i'll make one my damb self cuz it just looks to damb soft! and weight reduction will be done.......what the hell were these people thinking! |

| Beefe 21-1-2003 |
The evo 6 was wild the evo 7 was wild and this one looks wild. in standrad form it might not be as good as a scooby but get new suspension and have it set up for real use and and some extra power you are looking at a scooby eater on any type of road. |
| this and subaru WRX! |
| motorhead 20-1-2003 |
Which one would you all rather have this or a WRX STI. I would rather take the sti. Yes they are more common than evos but they are much better overall. The evo is about straight line speed and nothing else. Built quality is crap and the ride is worst than sitting on a pissed off bull! But the thing the subaru lacks is that brutal looks which is very visible on the evo. Although thses kind of cars are not all about speed but actually 60% of buyers actually go for the subaru because of its facinating AWD. It may be very good but it is still no match for audi though! |

This is a great car, ive always loved this car. One downside, its becoming to smooth and bland, i preferred its more aggressive look on the evo 5 and 6. Apart from that everything has been made better! thumbs up! |
| This car is a dream come true!!! |

Finally, Mistubishi has come out with something worth buying!!! This EVO VIII is incerdible. 4 Cylinder turbo, intercooled does 0-60 in under 5!!! This car, for 50 thousand less, could compete with, and most likely smoke an M5, for around 29 grand. This car is simply incredible, and can compete with the best of the best. |
| LOOK AT THIS EVO!!!!!!!!! |

i am totally disappointed witht he making of this car. its got a ugly front which looks like a proton waja. i think the team is making cars for luxury rather than for its feel of power in the rallies. tommi makinen was in the charts with his evo 5 and he is doing better with hs new subaru sti. not being a scarsitic person. i am just angry with the performance of evo 7 in the rallies and i hope that evo 8 will come out to be the best even though it has been heavier than the evo 6. rally art team should make cars that fits the wrc not buisness man. hope that this car would enter the rallies. |

im afraid u people are right , the lancer is become too soft.. soon it will become a galant or some ordinary sedan.... my god where are the amazing rally machines that the evo 5 and 6 were.. they were terrificly beautifull fun and FAST!!!! ralli art needs to wake up and make a real seequal so that the evo name lives on as a supercar killer. but make no mistake , thuis car still looks promissing but i cant help but notice that it laks something, it doesent look like a rally car , it is not agressive enough. and 271hp? hasnt the hp gone down? sorry mitsubishi but it doesnt look like an evo seequal. |
| WE NEED A RE-EVOLUTION ! ! ! |
| civic 13-1-2003 |
the new generation of the lancer is full with more technology than the before, but more technology has more mass! the car is already TOO HEAVY!!! the mass of the evolution 5 rs (1230kg)was very good and was one big reason that made that car so fast! the acceleration of the evolution?S are still the same until the evo 5 but only one thing always has changed and that was the aerodynamic and the steering. the rear of this car is a little bit better than the evo 7 i think, but THAT WAS ALL!! when it goes on like this, in future the evolution will change into a mercedes E-class and this is not a real rally car! ralliart should build a new evolution which is lighter and looks more aggresiv like the evo 6 tommi m�kkinen edition and a bit smaller. there are so many details to criticize: this car does?nt need so much downforce because it?s heavy enough!! it?s about 250kg heavier than the evo 5. the evo?s from the the past are still the better cars for me. |
| it's finally here.. |
| virtual_racer 12-1-2003 |
thank god it's finally here in america. i'm a bit disappointed w/ the tail-lights though. personally, it looks like a cheap look-alike of the altezza tail lights. still, i give a big thumbs-up to mitsubishi for bringing it here in the states. |
