yep..and a few years from now when quite a few evo x's are on the forums and someone shows their evo ix, they will get the same comments "that looks hot!"...just like they were the old days with the early gen evo's

EVO X where's all the hype at.. 300HP + 0-60 in less than 5secs.. must I got on.. everything keeps shutting down...

SO it outlaps the USDM IX.. so what.. add those 2 extra add ons to a IX and some MIVEC on the 4G63 exhaust side and I got money on it outlaping the X by 1 sec.. I just dont see the 4B11 being able to fill its predecessor's shoes..
Haha are you being serious right now? So it's not a big deal that it compeltes a short course 2 seconds faster? Also you couldn't have sounded more ignorant if you tried "add those 2 extra add ons to a IX and some MIVEC on the 4G63 exhaust side and I got money on it outlaping the X by 1 sec" HAHAHA please stop my stomach is hurting from laughing at you. Hell what you should have just said is that if you throw in a LS7 engine it will be faster.

Where talking about the platform itself.. the 4B11 has Mivec on both sides as well as a better drivetrain and look at it.. its fast on mitsu's proving grounds but if the 4G63 where to be enhanced with the mivec on the exhaust side and have that new drivetrain to put its power down am sure it had more left in it..

Now I guess this would take more R&D and since mitsu is BROKE.. I guess they decided to spend what ever they have left on this new AWD system which is "unique" that they decided to share the cost, and development and let others take part in this new 4B11 in order to produce the X..

Of course its no big deal in America as I said b4 the vast majority Drag race this in AMERICA ONLY.. I've been around too many EVO meets across the globe buddy and when I see most caring about their 1/4 mile its says something about the way Americans look at the EVO. Yes they are a few who circuit race, auto-x even rally it and still drag it.. who know the evo is an all-around car and didn't just buy it for its acceleration.. like all this brand new owners who know nothing about an EVO till it hit American shores..

And you my friend are the one who is making BARF as you mentioned an LS7 we don't need that ****.. The replacement for displacement is measured in psi.. and when you add any forced induction system into a high displacement motor means its sucks and it gives up..

They will never get it . You have to be grown up with rally or road race, to appreciate this type of cars. Seems to me most of them really can't handle the fact, the evo is not a drag race car. Some got good numbers for drag race with good resullts ,wich is pruve the Evo have a great engine. But its is killing the real purpose of the car. And why is got so famous around the world. King of the real life driving situations.
Where most super sport cars nervous ,the evo is comfident.
Raining, bumpy road ,twisties, dirty , snowy , changing surface etc. no problem!
that is the evo purpouse.Drive it no matter what is coming. But some guys think the good engeneered car going fast in 1/4 and thats it.

That is, i think one reason + nascar, why the american sports car are way behind other countries sport cars. It is no need to turn or slow down of most of them ,so they dont bother. You never wonder, why is not racing an evo or sti in the american circuit, against american sport cars on speed chanel, but the mazda ,acura etc. does? Regulations wich allows 7 liter agains 2 liter, but nothing wich is let those cars in....
it is sad .

Please spare me your "my evo can run 11's so this one sucks" You want a 1/4 mile car buy a mustang or a trans am.
nope
Current VIII/IX owners just feel threatened. And if you think about why they feel that way... it's because they know the Evo X is better.
and nope, just truly disappointed. I honest to god would not trade my VIII for a X. I'm not going to say its a horrible car or anything, its probally fun to drive but its not for me. Yes the evo has become more refined with each generation but this seems like a larger step. One that I'm not willing to take.

Coming from an IX owner who will never own another Mitsubishi even if the X did look somewhat decent, I think that car looks like pure ***.

Especially since Mitsu hyped their new target market to be those who want a softer ride, BETTER LOOKING, amenity-full performance car. I.e. they're trying to attack nissan and cars of the like but with ***** to the wall performance. With all that said I think they've successfully failed.

Alright i'm tired of saying this but here it goes again........
Mitsu couldn't use the 4G63 anymore due to not meeting emmission regulations.
This is the reason they changed it not because, oh heck lets just get rid of that great motor we used for 15 years for no reason....

What do you mean retarded.. state your facts punk..!! Go to a dam drag strip and you'll find evos.. go to a damn auto-x and bam 2 or 3.. go to a circuit track 1 or 2.. again go to a drag strip.. 100+ ****ing evos.. that's what americans buy this damn thing for, cuz that is what they know.. and dont give me the drag racing thing is cheaper..

Every single young punk on here has jumped on the bandwagon for the simple reason of being waxed on the street by one of these machines for their great acceleration and traction and now all they seem to have their head on is this.. tell me am wrong.. now that would make me laugh..

I see it all the time on the meets the street the forum.. people wrecking, cant afford the damn thing later on.. cnt drive the damn thing.. is just pitty.. and to have people jump on here who heard of the evo since 2002 and talk smack is just plain retarded.

"OH **** THIS BROTHA IS STRAIGHT STREET GANGSTA" Hey if you are going to use more than one period at the end of your sentances at least make sure it's 3 because those are actually used in the english language. Drag racing is cheaper I can go out right now buy a foxbody for 4k and put another 4k into it and run 10's but it will handle like **** and look even worse. The thing I said about the LS7 was sarcasim incase it went over your head which looks like it did. One more thnig just because I can drive my car with my damn feet doesn't mean that a good *&%$ing idea. So all thsoe people dragging evos sure the car can do it well but that's not really what it was made for so if they ***** that it's not superfast in 1/4 that's their own fault for buying it for that purpose.

Disappointed in WHAT????? What does the Evo X need to make all the haters happy?? Can you actually name something reasonable the X does not have....I dare you to!!

Ok, besides the engine, which Mitsu didn't have much of a choice with anyway. You can't expect an engine to stick around for 15 years with all the strict emissions regulations going on these days.

What else could possibly be missing??? That actually might matter to someone....

So you're upset Mitsu is trying to put more technology and enhancements into the car?? You don't like that? You'd rather just have the same car forever....come on....

All I hear is hate, but I haven't heard anything on what could be done to make it better..... seems like jealousy again.....
