..would i need, to live up to a 2wd 420+ bhp sapph?
not thinking of getting rid of the sapph, just thinking of maybe's buying a Evo one day, and dont really know what i'm looking at!

 

Depends on whether you mean what power would you need in an Evo to be as fast point-to-point as an Evo, or at what point is an Evo the better car.

Firstly 420bhp 2wd is probably around 350ATW. 350ATW in and Evo is going to need closer to 500bhp, then you've got a bit of extra weight in the Evo too. I've always said that I would want 550bhp out of an Evo if I had one (which I don't and won't, incidentally).

However, I think you'd enjoy a 400bhp Evo more than you enjoy your 420bhp Cossie.

 

Why wouldn't you have one then Christian?
I take it you work on them daily?

 

i just mean driving experience, and dont want something what will feel very slow.
it wouldnt be until next year even if i did get one.
can a fq 300 be mapped up to say 400bhp easily enough?
what is the difference between fq, gsr, rs etc...
tbh i dont know much about them and i just been looking at them recently, and they got the juices flowing!!!
i think i would need a drive in one cos i've heard mixed views

 

Greg you dont press the pedal hard enough on your Sapph. So a kitted up 1.8 family spec Lancer will do you nicely

 

Join the mlr mate, plenty usefull info on there, personally i`d have the evo as it will corner alot faster than the cossie therefore feel alot faster on the all important back roads, none of this straight to jail by-pass shit

 

Yes I do see them daily. I wouldn't want one because of the running costs, thank you very much.

 

just got rid of my evo 6 310ish bhp and bought a 420bhp 4x4 saph, and whats the best hmm dont know actually, point to point evo hands down to drive evo hands down, for the cool factor cossie hands down for the brute raw power of me t4 kicking in ill have me cossie anyday.

 

If people spent a bit of money on making the Cossie handle rarther than throwning 400+Bhp at 18 year old bushes etc, then people may just be surprised at what a good handling car a cossie, 2wd or 4x4 actually is ... Get the rear beam done and it is a MASSIVE improvement!

 

only had the car 7 days, its on the adgenda, soz like

 

I didn,t and mine was 460, but ha ho, i,m 42 and probably in a mid-life Chris....

Found Evos to be a tad boring tbh, (waits to get shot down)

 

I really think it depends on how you drive it. Alot of people say that Evo's do the driving for you, true I suppose if you drive the Evo at the same speed as you drive a Cossie, however, if you drive the Evo on the limit, that limit is ALOT higher than with the Cossie.

 

That was a general observation mate, not aimed at you at all

 

I think alot of people do not understand that bit though,

Pete it took you how many Evos to decide they are boring 3/4??

Mike

 

surely if you've got a rear wheeler you will find a evo boring? i wouldnt have a evo or scooby for the simple fact thats its a 4x4,if i strayed from my saff itd have to be to another rwd car
