HAHAHAHA i guess he does not watch top gear. Everyone remember when they did the test with the 1.3L rented fiat estate?
I guesss your a moron even a friggen 1.8T jetta would lose because the EVO in 6th gear going 35 and flooring it WTF do you think will happen??? I posted that top gear video so yes I have seen it.
Anyone who says the EVOs stock turbo lags alot is friggen retarded. Keiths stock twins on his RX7 never spool till 4000 or a little more his new To4r doesnt spool till like 5000 I have full boost instantly compaired to his car.

Yeah when i was in for my 30K mile check up they had an Evo 8 in the showroom (this was early last year). I just kept walking around it with my jaw dropped...i climbed in to see what it was like, pretty similar to a lancer, but then again, it was parked. haha. this guy noticed me stalking the car so we talked...I think he wouldve let me test drive it had it not been the only one they had and in the show room. So he showed me the new Eclipse, whatever the top of the line model is...he let me drive it up the highway, unfortunately it was an automatic, but damn, that thing was still freakin fast. Not as much fun as the Evo (just a hunch) but for an auto it kicked ass. In reply to the topic heading, yes, i want an evo too.

well you guys are forgetting that the evo in that top gear video is the fq400 isn't it? if it is then the turbo's bigger and it'll have more lag in higher gears with low rpms.

Wait a second, the Evo losing in this video isn't due to Turbo-Lag. Turbo-Lag is the delay of the turbo to spool because there isn't enough exhaust gas pressure when you initially punch the accelerator. This happens for around 2 - 5 seconds usually. What were talking about when the Evo loses to the Fiat is boost response. It's the lack of Exhaust gas to spool the turbo at low rpms.

no the video was the FQ in 6th at 35 mph vs something I forget at the same speen in top gear. and the EVO didnt start to spool till like 50mph and it took all day to get there. which even the POS T25 would take all day to get there as well if you start in 5th from like 1500rpms and floor it the car wont move.
My EVO hits full boost right at 3000 that is fast spool if you ask me.
