I was at mitsubishi today getting a timing belt on my talon. I went to the show room and there was a brand new Mitsubishi Evo IX sitting there. I looked it over and i loved everything about it. The guy i was talking to wasnt pushy or anything and he was cool to talk to. Most of the stuff i asked him or told him perfomance wise about the Evo he didnt know, which i found kinda funny. He asked if i wanted to test drive it and i told him i was only 16, hes like "Well im not supposed to let minors test drive but you seem to know what you are doing, but still i probably shouldnt" so i didnt drive it but the car looked great. He said there is almost no turbo lag. Is this true?

i think all turbo's have lag, but some kick in earlier than others.

That was hilarious, I was going to mention it, but I didn't have the link to back up the comment. I figured someone would call me on it and I wouldn't be able to produce it.

The lag on the Evo IX aren't near as bad as previous evo's due to the MIVEC.
