boomouse Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Isn't the Mits EVO a suped-up (full racing class) lancer? Correct me if I'm wrong here. However, assuming I'm correct, then it belongs to the class of small sedans like to corolla, civic, sentra, imprezza, etc. Its just too bad that that except for the imprezza and the historical toms corolla (which was not even full-racing) non of the other cars came out with their own suped-up versions. So if you make everything equal, meaning comparing stock cars, I think Toyota and Honda are more powerful than Mits. If you compare given supes imprezza vs EVO, I think EVO has the edge With regards to the skylines, supras/celicas, etc., shouldn't the eclipse be Mits contribution here? The only reason why EVO seems to be competitive here is because we are talking a suped-up sedan versus a stock manufactured racing car. But if those stock racing cars were given the same degree of modification as the EVO, they would definitely be more powerful The EVO a souped-up Lancer? Nothing can be farther than the truth. The only thing the two cars would share with each other would be the body shape. The Lancer is a front drive, the EVO is all wheel drive with an electronic center diff in addition to the two LSDs on both ends. The lancer has a disk/drum brake configuration, the EVO has 4-piston Brmbos in front and 2-piston Brembos out back (Brembos are very high performance brakes). A Lancer has a 16 valve, 1.6 liter, normally aspirated engine good for about 112 hp while the turbo 4G63 on an EVO is a 2 liter, twin cam that starts at 260 hp. The Lancer has standard road suspension made from pressed sheet metal, while the EVO would have forged aluminum suspension members. Now that's not just a souped up version, that's a completely different car! Perhaps you mean they were homologation versions. Manufacturers would produce a limited number of high performance cars with the bodywork of a standard road going car in order to qualify the racers for categories such as Group N rally. The cars that are produced to 'legalize' the high perf versions are called homologation models. If you want to compare stock cars things would be different. But I would vehemently disagree to letting an EVO be called a tricked up Lancer. Even the Subaru Impreza WRX is a different car from the non-turbo Impreza although both may be all wheel drive. I had both the turbo and non-turbo Impreza once and although they shared more components than the Lancer did with the EVO the turbo was still a very different car. You drive it differently, you maintain it differently and engine parts are not interchangeable.Suspension parts are but heck, Impreza, Legcay or Forrester suspension parts are similar in that they are interchangeable from a mounting standpoint but I am sure the performance specs would be different. I replaced my stock Impreza Bilstein struts with struts rated for the bigger an d heavier Legacy and my rough road performance improved immensely. Quote Link to comment
all Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 I don't think that comparable ung cars. The title should have been Evo vs. Subaru Imprezza WRX. I've seen Evo 9 go up against a Corvette on the road and at that stage Evo is definitely winning... Quote Link to comment
putos3k0 Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 This I think will be the Evo X. Notice the slight changes from the Concept X. http://www.dieselstation.com/archive/Mitsubishi-Prototype-X/ Quote Link to comment
JohnLee Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Was a passenger in a latest evo model, modified, in singapore just this december. Owned and driven by one of my sing colleague... hell it as the best ride of my life so far... you can really feel the power when accelerating and when shifting gear (w/c actually makes the entire car shakes) going up from your butt up to your spine... he makes "hataw" in blind spots that he knows of in the streets of Singapore. Definitely a racers wet-dream! Definitely a much better ride and experience than the bimmer of my boss. He says he races his car for fun in Sepang, Malaysia. Around $300 sing daw for half day, shared-use of the track. Quote Link to comment
Guest protocol Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 ayos nag evo talaga!!!! Quote Link to comment
dbzar2 Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 try pg labanin EVO against any car sa city driving talo driver ng EVO pulikat aabutin ng paa.. i owned 3 EVO before sold all of them a boosted (suped up honda integra 2k+ version is much more of a car to me.. badtrip EVO tigas ng Clutch.. So if your not entering any drag (nascar wannabee races) better stick to HONDAs,Toyota, Nissan.. Btw Astig din mga Suped up cars ng Honda(MUGEN tuned) Nissan (Nismo tuned) Given the right modifications kayang kaya din pumantay ng ibang cars sa EVO Quote Link to comment

My Jap rally friends say that the courses can be as tough as the safari rally. Quote Link to comment

My Jap rally friends say that the courses can be as tough as the safari rally. That is true. But you are just talking about the engine. And to get that kind of power in a honda you will have to get an angine from Mugen or Spoon or Tracy Sports. And then there is the issue of usable horsepower. Those VTECs create a lot of power but they come in at the high end of the rev range. How many times have you driven with the engine at over 4,500 rpm? On the other hand even with the turbo lag in an evo or Impreza, you have power at slightly over 2000 rpm. And if you are not driving in a straight line, bye bye SiR, bye Altis for sure. Front drivers vs awd? perhaps driver skill can be an equalizer. Get your grandma to drive the evo. Quote Link to comment

Sakristan_Mayor Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 definitely the Evo, its like comparing apples to oranges or in this case apples to aratilis. not in the same league. My only observation lang sa Evo X is that pag binaligtad mo yung trapezoid grill niya, pagkakamalan mo ng Audi RS 4 Quote Link to comment
