Oooooooooo, I like that...

 

wtf are those fins over the back window? im assuming they are for aerodynamics or something...

but they are still ugly.

 

WOW are those cars WAAAAAY over priced. 36gs for a MR and like 31 for a RS FUNK THAT. thats ridiculous

 

Actually the Evo 9 has been out for a while arleady, IN ASIA, cuz i went there last summer and saw some. As for the "fins", yes, they're for aerodynamics, they act as small spoilers, thus giving it more stability i think.

 

yeah its been out here for a while too.. and it is for aerodynamics.. read it its on the site

 

it dynos at 275awhp

 

 

It must fly with a giant wing like that.

 

this isn't news my dealership has had one for like two weeks now.

 

The big wing is there because they are trading on its rep as a rally car. And you have to be able to distinguish it from the normal Lancer. Those fins on the back are vortex generators, they straighten airflow across the back of the car for less drag. More for looks really though because you don't get much gain until high speeds much like any kind of spoiler or wing.

 

gotta love the Evo.......i like the new rims for the RS. they have a stationwagon headed to the states too.

 

is it just me or they have raised the price tag?

 

nice car... if you got the money... way to much for that thing

 

actually for the money its a good deal.........30k is not alot to pay for a car of that level of performance

 

Topgear tested a much faster version of the Evo9MR (forgot the name) and found that turbo lag really sucks on it. I think it had 400bHP. All that power according to Topgear only happens for a few seconds during shifts. It couldn't even keep up with a 125bHP Renualt Espace. Tested on a long straight.

 

man... I want one of these

 

400bHP..hrmmm... they have an Evo 9 FQ400? thought there was only up to a FQ340...

 

the little fins are air splitters. They don't act as mini spoilers. Its there to cut the air so the car has less resistance or something. It did improve their times forgot for which one but it reducd the time by a little. I read it car and driver like couple months ago. OR was it road and track. Its was one of the automotive magazines.

 

Lancer Evolution = an ugly pos that happens to be fast and will get you ZERO attention from hot chicks
