What are their times and how do they compare to a supercharged maxima besides the obvious awd?

Those cars are sweet. I've read 0-60 in mid 4 second range with mid 12's in the 1/4 mile. Top speed of 160. I think they are rated at 320 HP. Anyways, its a sweeet car. You don't see a left hand drive one that often. Very rare car. Wish I had the cashflow....

times for that car are insignificant cuz you can always turn up the BOOST to get better times..
as far as comparing it to a supercharged max..
in straight line acceleration i guess it would be somewhat close .. the closest would be on the highway .. but off the line i dunno.. i guess it would run high to mid 13's stock ?

BUT , the EVO will melt the maxima in anything else.. It's a road race car .. it was built to road race.. it's built to be pushed to the limit in every way ... handling, braking..
the maxima is FAR from that ....

I didn't know they made them in LHD tho ?
I want one >>

I love that car. I have a killer bbs vid when they raced that identical mitsu evo versus an 84 audi quatro. Wonder how much the reserve is on this and how much emission work would need to be done to street legal it?

I only saw these in HK which people mod the car with turbo and supercharger. These cars are fast and is very popular in Japan...Man, I wish I had the $$$ now. but, I thought the driver side should be on the right for these import cars?? hmmm....

i thought you couldn't get that car here. kinda like the skyline. that car is very mean...

1) Those aren't that rare, there is one right here in NY, owned by a young Asian kid, he imported from Australia, LHD. Street legal and all that but he isn't allowed to sell it ever, which sucks.
2) They are I4 intercooled-turbocharged, pushing more than the 280HP they all claim. It does 0-100km(~62mph) in 5.1s, so I doubt it will run 1/4m in mid 12's.

I would guess they are rarer then the average cars that I see. I have seen modenas, f40's, a porsche gt2, however i have never seen one of these on the street before. I guess when you see one they just lose their rarity.

WoodEar

true.
cuz cars like F40 and Modena are only about money, and there are enuff rich ppl in this country will buy them.
but a car like Lancer or Skyline likes, you need to be a real car guy to be willing to go thru trouble to import it and commit to all the rules and reg come along with conversion certificate.

as you say looses their rarity.

wicked1044

ummmm,okkkk. so what defines rare? one car per country? come on, one kid has the car in ny and, someone has a skyline in cali. so i guess that means they are not rare.. what the hell??

That car is serious. SCC did a review of one and it ran a 13 second 1/4 mile in the dirt.

That car is sold on the other side of the ocean. You can import them if you would like, like this one was. But good luck! I bet there are only about 10 to 15 of them in the US maybe even less.

rare is relative.
and there are more Lancer and Skyline in this country than you think.

wicked1044

rare is relative... better not be when i order a steak...

For whoever is racing against it, that is.hehe The standard Lancer Evo VI puts out 280, but like Woody said, it's gotta be more.
There's also the Evo Extreme model sold in the UK. If you've seen the Mitsu 'Zero Fighter,' the Extreme has the same bodykit. It's upgraded to make 340hp, and can blast to 60mph in 4 secs flat. I want one bad...
The Lancer is basically a Mirage, but with an uprated 4G63(Eclipse turbo) engine with a bigger turbo and AWD. The cylinder head had to be flipped 180-degrees to fit it in the engine bay, tho.
If you saw the Nov. 2000 issue of Turbo, they had Sean Glazar's Mirage coupe with an Eclipse engine transplant. Think of it as a front-drive Lancer. So it's possible to build yourself a LHD Lancer here, although it'll be a bit crude. They might even make them from the factory in LHD. Who knows?

Is that the difference in the motor.. i was readin about it and couldn't figure it out.. i had a feelin it was almost identical to the DSM turbo motor..

The one in the pics is Left Hand drive.

WoodEar

ordering steak and seeing a car you don't see often(again often is relative too) are two different things.

wicked1044

no reallyyy!!

Black VQ

Yeah. I'm just saying that maybe it came that way from the factory, or maybe the dude got it converted.

Oh, and Wicked1044: I can see your sarcasm now.

BrokenMotor

I'll take that car over any supercharged maxima.
1997 5-spd Beige maxima SE for sell!!! Anyone??? hahaha

WoodEar

of course it comes from factory like that. japan makes LHD cars like Lancer and WRX for countires like Australia.
