GPC Dunwoody: EVO X

[EM1toEVO]

That is what I am waiting on to decide if I will buy another evo. The sti is more refined, and the evo is starting to look cheap.

Honestly, Mitsu is really trying to do a lot more to the car and keep the price nominally more than the VIII/IX. The technology that went into the S-AWC is world class. They even say that the X brakes better than previous generations. The new Recaro seats are supposed to be some of the best seats ever put in a production car(I'm quoting Andrew at Dyno4mance).

I found this on another site and thought it had some interesting info about the X...

Lights that look around corners, energy saving glass, no reverse gear and micro spoilers in the wheel arches – just a few of the top ten lesser-known details that make the Lancer Evolution X the most technologically advanced Evo in history.
It is well known that the all-new Lancer Evolution X is a supercar slayer packed with cutting-edge technology and enough acronyms to match, such as Super – Active Yaw Control (S-AYC), Active Centre Differential (ACD), and the phenomenal Twin Clutch Sports Shift Transmission (SST).

But every detail of this car has been designed with a purpose, and here are ten facts about the Lancer Evolution X that prove the designers have thought of everything to make this the best Evolution yet:


No Reverse Gear –To save weight, the 5-speed manual transmission has no dedicated reverse gear. Instead, it uses an arrangement in which first and third gears engage with an idler gear on a separate shaft to reverse the direction of rotation.

Spoilers In The Wheel Arch - The wheel houses have a miniscule spoiler lip around the curve of the wheel to prevent the wind from swirling in the wheel housing thus improving the aerodynamics of the vehicle.

Energy Saving Glass - Solar control glass uses an infrared absorbing material in its intermediate layer to reduce transmission of solar heat by 66-100%. The glass also cuts out transmission of ultra-violet light but transmits all visible light to keep the interior airy and light.

Stainless Steel Manifold - The exhaust system uses a stainless steel manifold, which is smoother than other alternatives to maximise airflow. An Inconel turbocharger is located downstream and optimisation of the compressor wheel has improved response by 18% over the Lancer Evolution IX.

Your Car, The Way You Want It - Mitsubishi’s ETACs (Electronic Total Automobile Control) system allows you to personalise the set up of your car, just the way you want it. You can decide how long the interior light stays on after door closure, if at all. You decide when the wing mirrors fold in and out – at the tough of a button, or automatically when the door is closed and ignition switched on or off. You choose.

Acoustic Engineering – The latest in lightweight acoustic and vibration dampening materials, including foam filling for the pillars, have been strategically placed throughout the body of the Lancer Evolution X. This ensures noise and vibration performance that befits a new generation high performance saloon, while minimising any weight increase.

Lights That Look Around Corners – The Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS) uses high intensity discharge (HID) headlights increase the driver’s field of vision to make night driving safer. The clever bit is that the car detects when the driver turns the steering wheel and automatically switches on an additional beam to light up the oncoming corner.

External Vents Improve Breathing – Two bonnet vents release engine heat, as with previous Evolutions, but a new feature is the central air intake to help the engine breath and increase power output. New vents have also been added behind the front wheel to let engine heat escape more efficiently.

F1 Floating Piston Technology - The all-new aluminium engine is not only 12KG lighter than the previous 2.0 straight four unit, but also uses full floating pistons made by Mahle, renowned for use in F1 cars. Made of a very hard and strong alloy the pistons are able to handle the higher power produced by this road-ready performance car.

the seats are the only thing nice on the inside of the car. I would have rather took the mr seats in my evo and put them in the X. the car loks nice, but cheap

Sorry Ed, I thought you saw the post about the meet. We felt like driving over to Ed Voyles to check them out.

no, its ok, i was moving that night anyway i couldnt have made it even if i wanted to, i was done at midnight and all i wanted to do was go to sleep. lol

[batlude]

it might be mine... i have a car in every states... haha jk

So you want reps because I looked at GEORGIA dealerships to see if it was HERE, IN GEORGIA and it wasn't?

And on another note, to the OP, NOT EVERY TUNER CAR THAT YOU SEE IS ON IA.

Mistakes you've made in this thread already:

A. Ask for reps.

B. Fail to read a post COMPLETELY before responding to it.


Yeah, I'll give you some reps. I hope you splurge all over the ****ing things.

ur a ****ing idiot. You could go to the dealership and check it out....you might be able to pay it off in like 10 years if ur lucky

Do you have any more info on that "no reverse gear" thing? Like how someone would shift into reverse?

im sure you can go reverse somehow, the article says it uses the 1st and 3rd gear or something, but it just doesnt have the gear anymore. or you can get the sports automatic or whatever they call it with the paddles.

I understand that it has no specific reverse gaer anymore, but how would you access the new reverse? Like what whould the shift pattern look like:

1 R 3 5

2 iiii4 6

[Ed]

oh... right... i thought you didnt. my bad.

im not sure i dont have any specifics on it.

[MongolPup]

Uhhh your a Weturd......

There is a Lancer driving around, and there is also the X driving around. Get your facts str8n Ill take pics of it today.

I didn't say "WhiteAccord is stupid for mistaking a Lancer for an Evo." I was making a general comment about how Lancers are mistaken for their more powerful counterparts, since in the thread there seemed to be confusion about various Lancers/Evo's people thought they had seen.

Im with Whatlag weve had these on the island for a good minute now and a buddie of mines purchased one and brought it to on of the supra gatherings. although the has alot of handling skills and perks, the interior is horrid IMO but i want to see the inside of the STI to see how there interior will compare.

Here are the links for the full series of dealer training videos for the Evo X. It explains everything in detail.
