umm how abt u try the link right at the end my post.. and since its a 2.0 LITER engine u can time the number of horspower PERLITER by 2 to give u full. its a rather easy task. man i seriosuly dont care what anyone sez to me imports especially the evo and S2000 are upon my favorites concerning style and performance. as much i really want to continue this arguement i dont own an evo... soo thats rather hypocritical but as a personal choice imports all the way

Now wait a minute...

I am not going to bash the car b/c I have not seen the specs but that is approximately 57K USD. You guys are getting screwed over there. Don't even ask what you could get in the way of performance in the U.S. for 57K.

Let me go check out this car ....

i beg to differ:

why the hell would u want to buy this car in the first place? its barely affordable and its made for rally racing which i doubt u can even name anyone u know that does that type of shit...if u want something thats fast and street drivable get a real car like a pony or a supra

now, now guys, put the gloves back on

the car akdizzle is talking about is the FQ400, which pushed out 400bhp from a turbo'd 2 litre 4 pot. now i can understand the argument but the mustang is getting it power from a larger normally aspirated engine. a normally aspirated V6, or V8 engine, tuned correctly is gonna match the output of the FQ400 if not better it. We are talking about 2 totally different cars here. 1 is a 4 door saloon, the other an american 2 door muscle car, big V8, loadsa horses, gas guzzling piece a metal. ok weight wise they are about the same. In the US and Canada you're spoiled by low gas prices and cheaper cars. In europe the big engined cars are your high end mercs and BMW's, Jags, Aston Martins, stuff that ain't that affordable. the jap cars are what make it in europe cos they're relatively cheap (maybe not this particular model) but in general. and the imprezas, and evos are high up on the desirable list cos we don't have nice straight roads, loads of windy b-roads, twisty fast a-roads that are what these cars are designed for. anyone can jump behind the wheel of a jap car and drive it. its an allrounder car.
the mustang must be great straight line on your nice straight roads over there, but i know for sure which car i'd want to be in on a twisty road in the wet. The EVO.

Good point. What I was saying, however, was that the car in Britain costs a certain amount over there which would equate with someone paying 57K US in the US. The car is cheaper over here.

Would I pay 20 or 30 K, no but that's me. I can see where it might be a fun ride at that price. If we are talking about a comparable value for the money. My point was that for 57K (the cost in USD in Britain) we get more bang for our proverbial buck.

That was not a comment on the car, it was an observation that you guys in Europe are getting screwed. For example, for about 45K you can (over here) get an AUDI 4.2 Quattro which is quick, luxurious, and which has to be pried from the road.

Bit pricey there...better buy 2nd hand....that kinda car buy bit of fun then sell 2 months later

@ Mr.BIG thats the price of the site, in us dollars if in any canadia i wouldve wrote cad.

@billy : ive seen just the stock evos which cost considerably lower than the "MR" in jeddah (saudiarabia) infront of my eyes and ina couple races it slaughtered both a new stang gt, and a 350 z YES in a straight line... when you start talking in high end speed ur talking max speed the evo has a max speed of "The Lancer Evo IX is a polished evolution of a very long line" ... PERFORMANCE: [Evo IX MR FQ-320) Max Speed 157mph / 0-60mph 4.3s ..." this is the site-->http://uk.cars.yahoo.com/car-reviews/car-and-driving/mitsubishi-lancer-evo-ix-range-1003815.html

while the mustang which costs ( mustang gt 2006 27,800msrp )<--ford site 2005 Mustang GT. Year (of specifications), 2005. Engine, 4606 cc V8. Transmission, 5-speed, manual. Max speed, 150 mph. 0-60 mph, 5.2 seconds ...

back to the evo.. http://www1.mitsubishicars.com/MMSA/ModelConfig?ModelID=45&TrimID=431&DestinationServlet=Self&1140216621312
this is not the mr but the evo 9 which costs 31,400$

NOW u see were im goin about the STOCk factor, and some people might argue ohh its already turbo'd u cant play with it any more, jsut today i saw a 9.6 sec evo 9 mr on modified mag ( not high octane dragster with sliks and no bakc seat )

all prices in us dollars
*pointing out the 1 sc difference to 60 or .9 "

lol this is fierce lool

lmfao u think ur gonna get an evo for $31'000? try around $100'000 maybe?
what the hell kind of argument is, 'i saw a 9.6 sec evo 9 mr on modified mag', anything can be made to go fast dude ive seen a fucking snowmobile run high 8's in person...and once again ur comparing stock cars in terms of straight line racing, u know how much hp u can get on a cobra with a simple $30 air filter? around about +30hp..the potential is no match

dude the price i posted is off the site ... wo the hell told u its 100,00 here ill cut u a deal send me 45,000 ill build u n price u one and that was a comment ive seend mustangs run 7's and 8's too but the have no back seat no nothing but a steering and all ur displays and ur seat, this one was a full car please pay attention before u talk abt no matching. for ur stang to go cut that 1 sc diff to 60 u wouldve payed the diff in price, really no match here. and yea the price IS 31,400 off the site if some dealer told u its 100000 or w/e then ur talkn with no sources, show me proof that an evo 9 costs 100000 and ill consider believing u

$100'000 to get them imported...if not more! seriously if they were the price of an average truck ud be seeing them left and right, ironically ive never seen one

Um, yeah right, the ever-popular K&N drop-in filter is going to net you maybe 5 HP. Now, replacing the entire CAI will net you anywhere from 10-20 more HP if you replace your stock T-stat with a 180-190 deg...

Now, as for the other comment of a 3.5 sec stock EVO from akdizzle earlier. That's a total bullshit stat that is clearly a bad wikipedia entry... any reputable source, like Edmunds or Car and Driver is going to quote you 4.2-4.5 on the high-end EVO's. Shit, it's just common sense by looking at the new Corvette Z06, which is lighter than the EVO by about 100 lbs, with another 100 HP to boot (505 HP), and better aerodynamics... it pushes a 3.5 sec 0-60 and a mid-11 quarter.

Some peeps here really need to think, or research, before they open their stupid yappers.

well that stupid stat also came out of the stupid yapper of clarkson on top gear... 400 bhp is in the uk version and yes those stats are right... i did research this and yes making you wrong

your the one who needs to do the fucking research, ive read between 3 magazines claiming 30hp gains with a simple k&n air filter on the 2002 cobras....please try not to be a hypocrite when you post stupid statements

I'll call your "magazines" out as bullshit right now. Drop down some dynos buddy, let's see that 30 HP gain... not to mention the 99-04 cobras already got a pretty nice intake to begin with. Your aren't going to produce 390 horses with a cinder block for a CAI.

I've seen the dynos for the new Stangs, Chargers, and 300's and they all get about 5 HP, or less, from the drop-ins... which is great for dropping only $32.95 on an air filter.

when aem first came up with the V2 cai, they claimed 80+hp over stock evolution... im trying to find sources for that exact thing tho..

edit : nvm u also need to purchase their full dc exhaust sports package and tru-time pully adjustable cam gears. (15 hp only with stock application, and the cai costs around 220us$)

yes and all those cars are naturally aspirated...the cobra is supercharged you dicklock

*whipps out dynos for buddy*

i finaly got a go in tonight! and all i can say it what a car! so so so quick, the one i went in was the FQ400 and FQ stands for Fucking quick! point to point on back roads nothing would ever keep up with it, just so precise on the turn it, you can go into any corener and at any speed and the active diff will just make sure you come out the other side of the corner with nothing but a huge grin on your face. with its active yaw control you just feel like no corner is too big no matter how fast you are going! i am in love and will seriously need to see if i can find the money to look abotu getting myself one

pats veedubber for realising greatness she's a beauty alright

all these japan turbo cars.. pfft..

This is what I call a car:
Audi A8 W12.. 2x V6
