The Lancer and the Evo...


Ok. I don’t know if they are the same thing but,

The current Lancer 2002 has 120 Horsepower. The Evo Vll (Lancer?) 2003 has the same motor with ~250 Horsepower?

I know that the Evo Vll has a turbocharger, but would it really add that much? Do they have the same engine?

(This came to thought because I saw an article for 'Lancer vs. WRX' and I thought - HA that’s a joke; the Lancer only has like 120 HP there is no way. So I read the article and it just got me more confused)

Yeah thers engine work and a turbo on the EVO edition, if I am not mistaken the engine codes vary too, if you follow the rally races, especially the WRC, the EVO dominates, I like it a lot better than the WRX , its my car of choice, if I could get one I'd get a 5-6, because I do not like the new looks of it, even though technically its a much better car, the evo version of the lancer is coming to the united states this next year to compete with the STi version of the WRX which is gonna be released about the same time. THe new EVO is the 7th re incarnation so it has been through & generations i belive, its a very hardcore car man, probably the only worthwhile car ever made by mitsu.

the only thing the lanevo shares with it's current brothers is the chassie, everything else is different, higher tuned transmission, slightly different bodykit, body pannels, completely different motor, different drivetrain, different suspension, diffeent rims..etc...

Actually, the EVO hasn't really done ANYthing in the WRC this year.

Man the current Lancer and the Evo cannot be compared. Sorry all they basically share is the same name. The Evo is in a class of its own.

production mitsu car. Oh and I forgot the Galant vr4, and GTO(3000 GT VR4).

Eclipse, Diamante, Montero, NON VR4 Galant, NON VR4 3000GT, Mirage, Lancer. are in stock form, much like our civics. I think the 2nd gen eclipses are like our civics, look good but really slow, even the GSX is crap IMO, they also last about 1/2 the time that hondas do, I used to own a Mitsu

=\

Have you sat in a WRX? granted it's not as ghetto as the lancer, but it' certainly does not scream high world of finance either.....

GSX as in AWD turbo? how can u say that sucks? i mean the engine is a 4G63 the same engine as the EVO's...u can get a 1g AWD turbo e/l/t for under 3k ..now pls tell me wut kinda car u can get for under 3k and is faster than a 1g e/l/t. ok u like 2g's u can get a 95-96 AWD for under 6k and what kinda car is fater and cost less than 6k? what are u gonna go get a vic and throw a turbo in it? guess wut most of the time when they do put turbo's in vics' and tegs tey use a turbo called the 14B and its made by mitsu..and you are only runnin 1/3 the boost on a vic. all my friends drive 1g (90-94) e/l/t and many of them run under 14's

No way Peugeot Rules, and beside the tubo diference in the lcer and evo engines I think the Lances is SOHC and the EVO is DOHC, intake manifold, etc, etc... it would be like comparing the D17A2 engine with the K20A (RSX Type R)

hehe my bad i was thinking GST and put GSX, I like the GSX too. Mitsu AWD is superior, and no the EVO and Lancer do not share crap interiors, just like the Civic Type R and Civic EX dont share crap interiors.
