Default EVO FQ400

As said on top gear last night, how much do you think this will be? Also do you think the gearbox/diffs etc are going to quite happly cope with laughing all the time!? As surley they should be up to the job as the car needs to come with manufacturing warrenty etc.

Comes with the same 3 year warranty though, so they must think it is reliable....

Never seen a figure of 3.2 to 60? Interestingly though EVO couldn't get near Mitsubishi's quoted figures (they didn't attempt the top speed however) of 3.5 to 60 & 9.1 to 100 & 175+............

They managed.....
0-60 in 3.99
0-100 in 9.94

So no faster (in a straight line) than a 400bhp 4x4 cossie

it wont be will it 400bhp versus 400bhp youd expect pretty similar...

a 355? i thought they were about 110k? and you cant take your olds to the shops in a 355! lol

if id got that kinda money id buy one i think. else youre talking TVRs etc arent you?

though i do think they will be serious 2nd hand bargains!! lol
what do the other FQs fetch? and how much to mod up to the same deal as the 400?

someone dig out a full spec list.. it does sound like it has all the right bits.
