Picture of 2005 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution

The Mitsubishi "Evo," as it's known among its world-wide fans, was born from the international road rally circuit (World Rally Championship). Fielding the Evo, Mitsubishi won four straight drivers' titles, 1996-99, and the manufacturers'crown in 1998. The basic 2005 iteration arrived in the U.S. in 2003 as the Evo VIII. In mid-2005, an MR trim line with significant upgrading appeared on our shores. The MR addressed the shortcomings of the initial VIII offering. A horsepower boost from 271 to 276-hp. The five-speed transmission upgraded to a close ratio six-speed, keeping the turbo on boil for instantaneous power. Reviewers compared the shifting on the new transmission to the precision of the Honda S2000 sports car. 0-60 times dropped from an already blistering five seconds into the 4.8-second range, and even 4.5 seconds for the more stripped down RS trim line. Electronics limit the Evo to 156 mph. The MR trim line adds the new Active Center Differential (ACD) and a new helical limited-slip front differential. The latter adds more direction and pull out of the corners. The ACD features an electrohydraulic multiplate clutch that deploys a number of sensors (brakes, wheel speed, steering-wheel angle, etc.) to send as much as 50% of the torque in this front biased system to the rear wheels. The system also has three driver presets for different road conditions. The MS trim line also adds specially tuned Bilstein front struts and rear shocks taking the edge off the ride, moving it from teeth jarring to "firm," which further improves the already impressive handling. You would have to spend at least another $10,000 to get near this level of performance. Of course, with that extra ten-grand you would get a real interior and a much more compliant ride. A rally car in very scant street clothing - no radio, no air-conditioning, no cruse control, and no sound deadener - the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution offers an unparalleled level of performance at this price.

Performance: Accel - launching this car is like being pinned to back of the seat and not being able to move till you let off the gas pedal. braking - Brembo, speaks for its self handling - its a production race car ... so much time, money and research has gone into this car .. and with 20 years in RD, they have got it down. handles better than any car i have driven Build Quality: - one of the most solid cars ive ever seen .. its built to be driven ... and as long as you maintain it .. itll keep up Appearance: Interior - not why i bought the car... it was to perform .. the factory racing seats, racing steering wheel, awesome sound system all do exactly what they need to do Exterior - the fender flairs .. wide stance, Enkie/BBS rims, wing HID headlights, Hood vent, front mount intercooler in your face... all scream aggressive, style and most of all function Cost - gas - its a turbo car.. has perks ... its a 2.0l engine drive it normal gets great mileage, and with a tune can get better then most.. however.. you tune it to race and make big power .. till get the mileage to go along with it Maintenance - its a performance car... meant to be build and thrashed .. keep it stock and itll run forever esp if you keep up with everything .. does require premium gas, synthetic oils, and needs to be done and kept up with but a great car Fun Factor - this is what sold me on the car ..and the insane potential it has .. the bang for buck is unbeatable

There is not a bad thing you can truly say about an Evo. Not only is this 4G63 motor a rock solid platform, it is also reliable as hell, even with modifications. I say this from being an owner of one, and because I work at AMS Performance out in West Chicago...Home of the WORLD'S quickest EVO: 8.42 @ 168mph. Not only that, we build some of the sickest Evo's I've ever seen...

Love this car, can't get rid of it. Nothing else is as fun to drive! I own many cars but this is by far my favorite car. It should be fully track ready within the next 12 months! Keep posted!

The fastest car I've owned and by far the most fun. Gas mileage is horible if your really getting on it, but if you just driving "normal" its not that bad. If you want a fun car that will throw you back in your seat and take corners like a beast, buy one.
