Mitsubishi EVO X - Tuned - Road Test with Great Sound 

that is a real car for real drivers

Why does everyone complain about the dam interior? Its a sports car not luxury like a bmw... mine is not bad and the navi makes it look way better

my dream car is this car not to fast not to slow i dont care if it cant beat other race cars i want this car not to race i only enjoy the sound (sorry forspam)

love this review! finally 1. A car reviewer that can drive properly 2. Evo X review that is NOT the MR Great job man! *subscribes*

This thing looks like a fucking MONSTER on those canyon roads

Thanks so much...nice words like that help me keep it going!

Great road test! I always look forward to your videos.

Came to watch this video after watching it years ago. Now I have this car and other! 🙌

Drove the STi and The Evo before purchasing a 14 GSR a month ago. Got the touring package (Sunroof, leather seats, all that good stuff) and i absolutely love it. All i have is a catback exhaust, intake, and Accessport tune and im making almost 300 at the wheels on a stage 1 shelf tune. The STi is nice, but as every single comparison review out there will tell you, the STi is more the daily car. It's not as rough on the road, its more quiet, and comfortable. But the Evo in terms of performance, there is absolutely no comparison. The AWD is better, the grip is better. taking a corner in the STi and in the Evo are like night and day. The Evo runs rings around the evo in terms on handling and performance. I didn't come from a BMW so i don't mind the rouge ride. So if you want a comfortable daily thats AWD and fun to play with, get the STi. If you want an all out race car that can corner better than cars 3x the price (Evo X can corner better than a F400) then get the Evo.

FANTASTIC review... you deserve more subscribers

Nice video!! I bought me an Evo X a few months ago and have loved every minute of it since! I look forward to throwing some mods on it. :)

its a race car, luxury don't matter

Your great man ! Top 2 reviewer for sure on my list

It's true modern cars like this can make an average driver seem above average; however, put an above average driver in this car and you'll have an absolute nightmare to deal with at the track.

Exhaust, tune and a decent clutch/flywheel combo will put you in the low 12sec quarter with daily driving/winter driving fun. Love my Evo x!

Exactly! Not only that, the whole package is nice and extremely street-able. Plus the exhaust sounds great and if you want to keep that "looks like stock" under the hood but boost the performance it's a home run.

Nice. But I'm not too crazy about the evo10. My favorite is the 9.

Nice review! Cant wait for mine to arrive.

Awesome review!

Awesome video!

That is spot on! I have at least a half-dozen friends that have swapped there 6-speed manual in their EVO 9 MR with a 5-speed unit.

I drive my 2013 MR everyday. I don't do much of racing but in the canyons and on odd track days. I love it. Paddle shifting is something that grows on you. And boy do those gears change fast...

you gave justice to the evo x. bless you

I want one so bad after watching you tear up the canyon roads in that beast! The exterior color is beautiful also. I must own this car. It looks so bad-ass from any angle! Great video, man!!

The Evo always delivers mind numbing badass fun on any road! :D

I got mine brand new fully loaded a month ago and I love it.

The color is awesome wow love it

It's a sedan but you're paying for engine power and lots of other stuff. You can go to the supermarket with your mom and you can smoke kids with their Hondas at night. If that's not a perfect mix, I don't know what is.

this is the best car ever my father bought one and im addicted to it this is by far the best Mitsubishi ever

awesome video!

Love My Evo X !!

Fantastic!!

Nice to see a review of the Evo 10 in the perfect environment for the car - a twisty, bumpy mountain road. AKA: Rally Car Territory. My Evo 10 has a similar setup with about 380 HP to the wheels and I absolutely love driving that car. Yes, the interior is plastic, yes the car has five speeds instead of six. Yes, that's exactly the way I want it because no other car can keep up with it on a backroad. (STIs are quick cars, but they don't have Mitsu's sophisiticated AWD and I've never seen one on the backroads I drive.) And the Golf R simply doesn't have the speed for this league.

Incredible

Thanks for the tip, i'll check that out

I just got an Evo X MR and I'm in love!!! I traded in my IX MR and can say the X is a lot faster through the corners, thanks to the AYC. I think the best Evo ever is probably a EDM/JDM evo IX with AYC.

Im glad somebody put into words what i was thinking.

thank you, very good video

Thats the same color i have but not tuned still in stock but god i love my car:) great video!!!!

They used the 5 speed because the 6 speed isn't as strong. I have a GSR and yeah, it could definitely use a 6th gear, the ratios are decent, I just wish 4th gear was a bit taller.

Agreed!

I got a 2014 silver gsr a few months ago after wanting this car forever. I fucking love it so far, so much fun, and its still bone stock (atm).

Best Car Ever

Very cool car!

Beautiful car n color its awesome😍😍😍😍😍

Such a fun road

That colour O_O

6:26 that expression says EVERYTHING! :D

5 speed stronger .. this is it

Great car, great review! Just wish it sounded a better!

it would be awsome if you have the body of the evo 10 with a nissan gtr 34 engine in it! THAT WOULD BE MY DREAM CAR :)

the nine its just so damn perfect, one day i will have one fq360, for sure!

Bro this guys ammo ..evoz r ruthless ..

Cool Video. I'm an enthusiast & own a Gray 2011 Evo X GSR. To answer your question about the 5 speed, the model you drove was the Evo X GSR (Grand Sport Rally). Mitsubishi asked pro rally drivers which transmission they liked better for rally, the 5 speed won, so Mitsubishi followed their advice. Plus the 6-speed Twin Clutch Sportronic Shift Transmission (TC-SST) of the Evo X MR (Mitsubishi Racing). Mitsubishi said it can't handle the abuse of pro racing, they said for racing get the Evo X GSR.

Good review. Still can't decide between evo and sti

I do remember the last generation EVO MR having a close ration 6 speed, but there were a great deal of complaints from owners complaining that the 6 speed was not strong enough to deal with certain horsepower ranges.This was a conversation that I was constantly engaged in as I was deciding between the EVO and the STI at that time. This theory was reinforced by the fact that Mitsubishi has continued to put the 5 speed in the EVO since then, and now use paddle shift 6 speeds in the new MR only.

I like the STI, I currently have a 1996 WRX STI type RA and it is a blast since this beast was set up for rallying, its undercarriage was reinforce and has metal plates protecting crucial areas. It has a reinforce gear box/ short gear ratios/ no air bags/ no insulation/bigger turbos/ momo steering wheel/ quick steering and etc. But I drove an evo 3, 5 and 6 also, and they are beasts on the touge, they're rather finicky to tune but once u get them right goddamn... They will smoke every cars.

Just got a brand new (22 miles) 2014 white EVO gsr (base model) for 30,999. Out the door 34k. Man, I did good

Dream car

Evos are tight

u r a good driver

And ps. road race engineer, they are the shit. I got my clutch done there and got many friends that go there that have and evo X or gts, they live up to their name. LEGIT.

No one buys an Evo for the damn interior.. If Mitsubishi wanted better trim and all that, it would take $1000 away from the rest of the car (i.e. cheaper brakes, cheaper wheels). I doubt Mitsubishi wants to add even another $10 onto the cost of the Evo. Look at what happened to the Supra TT when a fully equipped one got past $55,000.

I love how on over 3/4 of a full tank the meter said 100 miles to empty!

The main reason you'd go with a 5 speed is because you have a really broad power range so stretching it across longer gears makes sense (especially when you factor in the turbo lag that gets introduced every time you shift).

one day i shall have one, well this or an sti, doesnt matter!

April 2016, where the **** are you? Cant wait for my final edition. >_

this guy looks like vin desile in 2050 😁

I love sti and evo

It is the dream of my life

Mike Welch the owner of Road Race Engineering tuned this particular vehicle. I am the other Evo tuner at the shop.

fucking lucky bastard. im so envious. congrats. i used to own an evo8MR and i sold it to pay tuition, but one day i will buy another evo no matter what.

Man I want one

I'm not sure about the X, but with the VIII and IX, the 5 speed gearbox was stronger and could handle more power and torque compared to the 6 speed.

why doesn't he make more vids?

He's the Stig's American cousin twice removed...and he's real fast!

To answer your question on the 5 speed, the 5 speed is alot more reliable and efficient than a 6 speed. 6 speeds are easier to break, and also its better to spend more time in a gear making power, then spending time shifting. Amazing video, thanks for a great review. I also have the same color as the one in this video. Check out the video on my launch. Thanks

behind those 1s and 0s , hahaha exactly!!

im getting mine tomorrow im going to put a video up!!!

$40,000 Only? WOW it's cheap!! In my country, Malaysia, the price is RM300,000!! This car is very hard to afford it...lucky for those who already owned this car..

i find it funny that this car is for off road and it does soo good on the road

Essentially it is. The stock evo x's AWHP (again AT WHEEL.. i cannot emphasize that enough) is around 240-255 depending what type of dyno you're using. Some read lower and some higher. RRE uses dynapack.

I go for that 2013 subaru wrx sti!

Where can I go to get my car tuned and badass looking

3000$ for 100awhp is a steal! a turbo back exhaust on a sti is around 3000$ lol

There are a couple reasons for the five speed. First off it weighs less than a six speed. Second Mitsubishi found that in higher power applications the 6 speeds tended to break more than the five speeds due to the parts being less robust from trying to pack another gear and set of synchros into roughly the same amount of space. They knew their audience and that people bought these cars to tune so they built a car that was conducive to that end.

Waiting on my 2014 evo x gsr cosmic blue. Basically fully loaded :D who is stoked now!?

I didn't buy it because its the best all rounder for the money, not for the interior, not for how many gears it has, fuel consumption etc. I bought it because I want an evo x and it's the best car at being an evo x. I think most evo owners are the same.

I think the reason it has a 5-speed manual is because they intended the car to have the twin clutch 6-speed as the primary transmission and the manual is just an afterthought for the die hard manual trans fans. I too would like a proper performance 6-speed manual though.

The evo 10 is a calmed down bigger brother of the smaller more nimble 8s and 9s. In my opinion the 9 is the perfect balance of the raw feeling an 8 gives you and comparable comfort level of the 10. In the 8s and 9s they ACD ecu does a lot less for you that in the 10's AYC. But he is 100% correct when he says approaching a corner at high speeds isn't scary because you know it can handle it, then when you look down and see you're doing 80 it's like O____O

Great car! I just wish that it came with a 6 speed manual versus a 5 speed.

Anyone know what exhaust that is? It sounds perfect.

5 speed is due to that launch bro, we have speed limits here in the U.S, wide gear ratio from first at second, first to 60ft. wins the race

Best rally car

I never seen a Evo in my life I see more wrx the then these.

6 speed transmission would make your 0-60 Slower and u can mod the gear box to have longer shifts

the people that want an EVO only want it because of the performance, only thing they care about the interior is if it has Recaro seats or not. & Mitsubishi's 4cylinders all have 5 speed, only the v6s have 6 speeds like the Eclipse GTs

mi auto!!

I like the osnet evo

Evos would like so damn nice if there was a coupe model, the sedan is also looks amazing
