Default Evo X

Or ten or whatever it's called. Fq300-fq360 which ever one. Are they lard ***** or serious cars. They weigh close to 1700kg now. How come they have so much more power than the scoobies. Is it the fact that they are tuned to the max before they sell them. What turbo's are they putting in them?

They may be lardy but they are still quicker than a scooby at the end of the day! ( I'd have one if I could afford it-the scooby is bad enough though)

Have been seriously thinking about getting an Evo X - something like this.

There does seem to be one or two problems with the new car which will no doubt be ironed out with the 2009 car - seats are poorly made,paint is easily chipped but it looks are in a different league to the new STI.

Not a fan of the Evo X and I have always been a big Evo fan. The Evo 9 is the one to go for, best since the 6.

I'm not sure about these new Evo's. I too like Evo's and this one while in pics looks more styled than before its still no beauty. Also heard bad reports concerning performance.

But what suprised me the most, is I've seen two so far. A black one, which looked very understated.

And a blue one. The blue one was parked up and I actually walked straight past it before even noticing it. This is not like me as I'm a total petrol head, so I guess it simple doesn't stand out as much as the pics have you believe.

The Evo X looks but the Evo 6 is the best looking evo ever made IMHO
