old news maybe even a repost but its still a great car none the less so is the plain MR

[possessed_beaver]

repost, but still an absolutely stunning car!

[possessed_beaver]

i think it needs to be serviced evrey 2000miles or soemthing aswell.

Damn that thing got a long name ..

But it looks stunning too.. I like all the black parts on it.. makes it looks more aggressive.. and with 405hp.. that's powerful..

what is the body weight of this mitsubishi?

Great car but what's the use of the black points on the rear side of the roof. Is it functional or just for decoration?

As far as I heard it's Functional..

It's a diffuser of some sort to focus the air to the wing or something ..LoL.. ( I totally made that up ) .. But seriously it is their for a cause but I'm not sure what..

And I know the MR is lighter over all than the normal Evo 8 and it also got brakes cooling things underneath the car.. I don't want to get into tecnical details.. But the summery if that this car is great ..

they are called vortex generators, they speed the air up to help prevent seperation and reduce drag. whether this works on a car instead of a plane remains to be seen.

i remember 5000 miles and what happened to the Beaver avatar?

[gobs3z]

I wouldn't be surprised if the 5000 mile checkups are used to find a reason to void the warranty, if you miss the checkup is the warranty voided or not? Sweet car though, great numbers for the price.Anyone have 1/4 times, just curious. Those brakes have to be amazing, and i assume that roof spoiler is more for high speed use, especially at 175mph.

That'll own just about any car in the wet. But then it'll blow up after the first lap.
