well they do sell for that price down in UK. That's why Mitsu doesn't bring it... cause of all of you cheap asses, lol. Nah jk, it's just we all like good, but we like cheap and that's the way we are down here.

For 79k I'd say it's a bit too much... 60 to 65 sounds fair. But supposedly it'll have a bunch of upgrades, like suspension, stiffer body, brand new turbo, 2.0 litters shouldnt even be mentioned, you all know the Evo will die a 2.0. 0-60 in 3.5, that's Vette and GT-R territory right there... forget bout M6, that thing would eat it alive and save some for dinner. Warranty!!!! a 400HP Evo with Warranty!!!!! I've heard other things too, though I'm not sure bout any interior refinement, which then makes me say "79K... wtf? ...right"

Though if I had the money I will definitively buy it, especially an MR in Rally Red!!!!

^ Correct taht... I certainly doubt they'll do anything with the auto-manual tranny... FQs are GSR based anyways

Uhm makes me think if I still want the Nissan GT-R. But at 192 mph I think the GT-R will still have a higher top speed

$79,000 for 400 hp, I don't think so. I rather get a GTR, or a Z06.

i think they're just selling it for US$79k in UK.. which means about 51k pounds..
but cars in the UK are selling for much higher prices.. for example a honda CRV costs about $24k in the US. a similar one in UK will cost 20k pounds.. thats about US$30k.. so its more like the FQ400 will cost about $55k IF mitsu sells them in the states... yea right....

80g's for a 400 crank hp evo X???
no matter how you look at it, its not worth it at all.
for that money go get a car that looks like it costs 80g, not cheap plastic car

id rather stick my d1ck in a meat grinder
whoever buys that car is just stupid

400bhp is power measured at the crankshaft...
so if you were to throw this car on a mustang dyno, you are probably looking at around 340whp..

yea that seems worth 80k

for an evo with that much power AND YET still have much more potential with warranty is not. with those mods you could produce more power.
