Mitsu Lancer Evo   Posted Mon Feb 10, 03   9:50 PM     

Have seen the new Lancer Evolution, 271 hp, should be the first non HondaVTECDOHC non stickered out import to break out of the infamous 14.99 group at the track. A little more boost and a 50 shot should make it a great racer at the track or stop lights.

The EVO 8's gonna run mid 13's, it's numbers are consistent with the Euro spec SCC tested a while back, lets hope The WRX runs 14.1, and that isn't even the new STi. Needless to say, yeah, the EVO's gonna be badass, better than the WRX STi most likely. It's a little watered down for the US, but not much

The Mitsu Lancer OZ Rally edition is our "Sporty" version of the US lancer. Rated at 125 or so HP just like the base model, it just has OZ Racing 15's and badging. Oh, and it's FWD. (Not tryin to rag on your car Gor, I still think they're pretty sweet, just nothin compared to an EVO.)

yes... i know... its nothing big... but it also gets 35mpg... so HA!! and now when gas costs $1.75 a gallon i need that 35miles out of it... hehe... but ya... basically it is a regular lancer with OZ 15's, badging, ground effects, few different interior things, and like a 4 inch spoiler... and yes... they're NOTHING compared to the EVO... but its still a pretty fun car...
