Heres one for Scheides.

I've been reading a lot about the X recently and have been looking at actual pictures taken on the streets. Its good looking, but the prototype was so much more aggressive. That picture is of the RS version which is really stripped down (small brakes/wheels, no wing, etc.). All the magazines and websites are saying it handles better, but slightly slower in a straight line (lap times are still improved though thanks to the handling). The Mitsu engineers have hinted that some simple tweaking of the software will really liven the car up though. I really can't figure out why Mitsu made it slower in the 1/4 mile though, it seems like with the new engine and extra technology goodies they could have done more.

AWESEOME! My big beef with this car is the added weight. Its heavy enough as it is!!! I wish they would come with an actual RS version here, as pictured above, with small brakes, small wheels, etc. Then again, I cannot live w/o 17's (at least) and the brembos. They really finish off the car.

For the record though, I hate white! (ok ok, its hawt, but black is hawter?). I can't wait to see the aftermarket unleashed on this thing. Its too bad I plan on keeping my VIII for several years to come, but there should be plenty of goodies out for this new motor when it comes time to upgrade!

I'm glad I grabbed a 9, just not feeling that thing

**Shane@DBPerformance** · 10-01-2007

So when is the 4G63T based purely mechanical AWD cheapo Lancer coming out?

Pushit2.0 · 10-01-2007

Its more like a Subaru now, anything more then very basic bolt-ons and/or a flash and the you need to upgrade everything. I think it looks nice and should work out for mitsu in the long run.

I see a lot of potential looks-wise. i'd like to know the bore, stroke, and the specs on the stock cams.

quick somebody buy one so we can tear into it!

**scheides** · 10-01-2007

You know, if its anything like the IX over the VIII, it'll probably make a solid 310whp on a DD dyno with a simple TBE and some tuning. If that's the case, I think this will be an awesome car to keep tearing up the streets!

**Shane@DBPerformance** · 10-01-2007

112mm bore, 17mm stroke, 292 duration, 1.5kilometer lift @ 0.50"

That's really oversquare! Can't wait to see the crank on that puppy!

**Halon** · 10-02-2007

Looks nice, but I still want to see the bare bones DSM style Ralliart model that they are supposed to come out with.

Thor06 · 10-02-2007

If I ever get an Evo it will definately not be that thing. I definately like the 8's the best. And no more 4g63? I dont care how cool that 4b11 is, IMO it just cant be an Evo with out the 4g63.

Super Bleeder!! · 10-02-2007

bore:86mm, stroke: 86mm

and it has a timing chain!

iceminion · 10-02-2007

I think the interrior looks alright, has anyone talked about swapping an evo 4g63 into that thing?

I would rather build up a stroker evo block then that 4B11 or whatever its called now

How do you know that? The turbo has a much larger hot side and the compressor is slightly smaller diameter, but is supposed to flow more. I am thinking they kept the power levels on the low side until they figure out how durable the engine is. It is a semi closed deck though, so that is nice. I am curious to see how much boost it is running stock. I bet it is lower than the IX's.

Here is a shot for ya Chris.

Here is a nice video too.

I'm looking forward to the Top Gear test video, they always thrash the hell out of cars and find out what they're really capable of.

**scheides** · 10-03-2007

Nice vid jet! I really can't wait to see what a little american aftermarket engineering can do with this thing

TkrPerformance · 10-04-2007
