Lancer Evo X - Page 2

I looked at one at the Indy auto show and it was $43,000. Way too over priced.

I'll race your shitbox from a roll. Even though roll racing is for ricers.

So, I'm 17 and drive a nice car, I know I do. But your comment is utterly ridiculous. The car you drive doesn't give you a right to call others shitboxes.. I mean come on. Now if you have a honda with a fart can that is another story, but be civil. Jeez.

Oh great another mustang driver trying to give me a lesson. Maybe you should pay more attention in reading class and see where HE calls HIS car a shitbox. It was a light hearted jab that not everyone on this site has a stock SS. You can always check out the corral

In all fairness I am new here and may have not sensed your sarcasm. My apologies.

The "shitbox" is in it's sweet spot from a roll. No traction from a stop. That is the downfall of a 350WHP front wheel drive car....

It's hard to sense sarcasm from a typed response so I understand, no need to apologize. I agree that the Evo sucks.

I'm no less of a person because I drive a mustang, however I don't understand why they have these cars 38K - 44K.. lmao 290hp 300lbs tq. Do these things even sell, and why would anyone buy one.. I don't think I understand?

I thought you had the neon shitbox. Thats what I was refering to. But still the evo 9 was a shitbox as well. It was just a good performer, but a shitbox in everyother catagory.

That's the whole point of the evo. Shitbox that can haul ass, the premise of the car is to sacrifice everything comfortable for a bad ass rally car. Weighing it down with options and making it comfortable goes against everything it stood for.

That would be like putting a DVD nav and heated leather seats in an ACR Viper. Not what it's built for.

This was the first import Ive ever actually considered buying, but I couldnt justify the cars price with less power and worse gas milage. Still a great car though.

and well said !

Yes the EVO X is more mainstream than the EVO 8-9's .

Yes its heavier than the 8-9's but pretty much as fast on a road track .

BTW the EVO X's gains 50-70 WHP from just a reflash !

"Shitbox" = "A EVO is a $15,000 car with a $15,000 drivetrain" LOL

cHaotix · 01-05-2010, 09:38 AM

The new Evo's are going up in quality. The 43k one I believe is fully optioned with full leather interior; much higher quality than the Camaro. I think Mitsubishi is trying to gun for BMW with the new MR touring. I'd actually be considering it if I was looking for a fun sedan. The G8's good but the AWD opens up so many more options. It'd be a hard choice for me.

Base Evo's start around 36k I think. Still a great car that can do a lot given a few tweaks.
