I am pretty sure some of you have seen this but Each and Everytime I see this I DROOL!!

MikeK · 2005-01-03, 11:33 AM

I found this a while ago, this car looks awesome. Everything on that car could be added to a US evo (and probably cheaper too) except the active yaw control. I wish Mitsubishi would bring that out here.

So when are you getting your MR Sergio?

MikeSTI · 2005-01-03, 02:34 PM

FQ400 = 4 miles to the gallon on the track :shock:

hope it got a bigger tank

10.5 gallons is only 42 miles before you have to fill up again and with what? 100 octane standard :?

Yeah and all standard/stock :shock:
You know though in reality.. if you are looking/buying these types of cars, ie.. STi/evo, You arent looking for gas saver...
Wow!! what a rush though.!!! :wink:

Well have you seen the current issue of Sport Compact car. The evo IX is due out latter part of this year.early part of next year and wow.. its also nice.. it has everything the MR has stock!! :shock: Also the expected output is going to be (Up from the current model '05 with 276 HP)around 310-315 HP .. Minor changes to the body..
So who knows If I am gonna wait for that or get something else...

Who Knows

No, nobody cares if their Evo gets 15 mpg on the way to the racetrack. The problem is, 42 miles on a racetrack in an Evo FQ400 takes like35 minutes.

The average Club trackday gives you 120-140 minutes of track time. That's a lot of fuel stops.

"The tack day was cheap at $200..............but the gas ran me another $200+"

dont get me wronge Sergio, The car is sick :wink:

I do agree with the guy though about the lower model being the one to buy for the dailly driver, I would hate to be stalling all the time

I think it was only a few second off the FQ400 anyways, which will be more like the MR or new Evo IX

BOO · 2005-01-04, 09:46 PM

True.. But for a guy like me that never takes it to the track?? It's like who cares if it does crappy on gas

It's just a cool car to have .. sh$& I have that same problem now with the evo not getting the best gas mileage ..lol

MattR · 2005-01-04, 10:28 PM

That really is excellent to see. Quite an amazing car...however, I'd have to agree, that thing would be miserable to drive around on a regular basis..It would sure be fun for hill-climbs, track, solo 1, and general spirited driving though...

Evo Mike · 2005-01-08, 04:01 AM

sadly, i just watched that video.. hell that flashy light radio makes the US spec one look like shit.. sad to say... and those seats! drool.. anyway, he said the fq320 was the best bang for the buck.. luckily that's about what i have

doubleurx · 2005-01-08, 08:36 AM

It's just Oh so silly.

That and the 6 sp plus the "ACD"

Kevin M · 2005-01-08, 03:35 PM

Did Mitsu solve the problems with the 6 speed yet? They had a lot of issues with them in Japan.

BOO · 2005-01-08, 09:40 PM

You know I hope so because It reminds me of the problem with the TBE with the STi's.. It doesnt make any sense for either car maker to have cars of that caliber and not go through rigorous testing before bringing it to the market, especially the U.S. market...

They must have done something with them because the evo 9 due out here at the end of the year supposedly had the 6 speed as standard.

tysonK · 2005-01-10, 11:31 AM

It's all about the EVO IX now!

Evo Mike · 2005-02-05, 12:51 AM

i think i've seen that video before.. The top gear dude chose the yellow evo.. am i right? BUT he states it's from a drivers perspective. If he choosing it from an every day driver point of view.. the audi won ( i think).. but then he goes on to say something like.. "but that's not what we're looking at" or something..
