Top Gear reviews the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII MR FQ400. A ferocious “family saloon”. Then they proceed to pitch it against something that looks much more like a traditional sports car – a Lamborghini Murcielago.

Next Story: What has Proton been up to?
can i know which season/chapter this is taken from? hawtttt
performance magazines and clarkson keep on saying its has a very hard ride although ride height is as normal as our ongoing proton wira…anyone care to share their experiences they have with a real deal Mitsu Evo?
Equivalent to paperback novels under fiction category .
" ENTERTAINING "
the proton has fina
well, proton gonna partner back with Mitsu
mitsu evo's are quite hard riding. they're performance based cars anyways, and thats they way they're setup for. but the FQ versions have uprated suspension, so they should the ride should be even stiffer than the standard evo8 i think.
honda_driver,i do agree with u.
waahhh…first time i saw a racing between super car and a sedan family car…and the result is kool…huhuhu…long time waiting for this kind of race with video of it…
JC commented on evo8 lack – turbo lag problem by using 5th gear.. huhuhuhu beaten by 1.6 fiat even in 1.7 miles.. ayoo turbo in fifth gear starting in low rpm, what can you expect maa.. and also what can you expect of comfort in performance clutch with the evo transmission.. performance will usually cost comfortness. want some here, lose some over there.. but for the review was ok la, the pro's and con's in performance car.
fuiyoo… wut a car.. awsome lah… i donnow about the suspension lah, but i guess it can be used in downhill drifting competition in msia bcoz drifting rarely get u to used ur 5th gear. ekekekekeke AE85 vs EVO anyone?
silverblood, i think you meant to say AE86 right?
I do think that he meant AE86..
