I agree to a certain extent: they look pretty dam aggressive from the front, the hood scoop needs to be redesigned, bigger intercooler, and redesigned/removed mesh grill in front of the IC, would make it look alot better IMHO. the rest of the car? =. 4-doors? ouch, not to mention the rear! cheap sedanish rear end with a riced out spoiler.... .

Like i said the front has potential the rest is crap.

Well when you design a rally car around an economy car, there are certain things you just can't get rid of... such as it being a 4-door. And the spoiler is just there to shadow the spoiler on the race cars. Just playing Devil's advocate.

I don't know about you guys but I would prefer having a 4-door that hauls the mail. Since I'm one of the what-it-seems few people who love having a quick daily driven vehicle, one with 4-doors seems more practical than a 2-door. You can haul your buddies in it and they can fit in it - comfortably, toss your GF/wifes junk in it, have plenty of room in the trunk (can't say that for the EVO-X though) for your crap etc.

Personally, I don't like the stock front fascia of the X. With some aftermarket pieces, aftermarket wheels and lowering, it grows on me & looks much better. I just don't think Mitsu can beat the EVO V-VI aggressive nose. I love the X rear. Only thing they screwed up IMO is by putting a dual exit exhaust on it. I mean...Mitsubishi, lets just make the car heavier by putting un-necessary junk on it.

This is a racecar website. Standing up for 4 door rice mobiles will get you absolutely nowhere. I would prefer having a 2 door sports car for sure, but

A site dedicated to the LSx series of motors is in no way a "race car" website, by the way.

Wanna buy some vowels?

It's MY opinion. You don't have to like or agree with it. There's a Cadillac section on this site, is there not?

Last I checked, this site was dedicated to the LS1 which is a codename for a motor vehicle engine. It's not "dedicated to race cars."

I guess it takes the majority of the website to be high 11's-mid 13's to be a ******* racecar website

I am pretty sure it is here is the link, peaking at 10.5 psi but holding 9 i dont see a reason why they would have gone with forged internals and a different block
