Mitsu only to run limited

[Joey D]

Well Mitsu is only going to be running a limited schedule so next year they can come out in force. I assume they will be bringing the EVO VIII to the WRC next season.

 

[-Fred-]

Plans are for a Colt (Cyborg if you want, like in GT2) with the EVO's drivetrain, to compete with Peugeot/Ford/whoever will have a small car next year...

That's an early prototype... I think the EVO's days are numbered, with the smaller is better trend that's going on.

 

[ving]

looks wicked

 

[Joey D]

Ya I like it. I be t they do pretty good

 

[ving]

alot lighter than the evo.. and shorter..
thye will prolly have to add balast to keep it legal

 

[Vasco]

Yes, they did have to extend the Peugeot's factory by a bit to make it the legal length...i think they should make two classes...the sedans and the hatchbacks.

 

[ving]

so there will be no more lancer evos?

 

[Joey D]

nopers unless someone does it privately

 

[ving]

bugger!
i think lancer evos rock!
better than scoob any day

 

[Joey D]

but not better the Peugot

 

[ving]

nor the citroen

 

[MilleniumHand]

i wonder if they can stuff the old engine in that? if so, I'm all for it.

 

[ving]

lol!
what is it, 2l turbo? hehe weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
fun!

they would have to have the hp bout the same as the others anyhow, so prolly will

 

[Vasco]

Every engine is a 2l turbo 4 cylinder ving dd

 

[Joey D]

the only real difference in motors is the Subby Flat 4

 

[Wastegate]

Maybe the limited rallying is the reason why Francois Delecour has left Mitsubishi this morning by mutual agreement.

Maybe it should read mutual disagreement. Delecour is a fiery character and has already split with co-driver Grataloup this year.

 

[GilesGuthrie]

Delecour is traditionally one of those people who is excellent if everything is to his liking. If not, he's off the pace.

yeah i know... just trying to picture a mirage with a 2l 4cyl turbo

 

[ving]

when i was a kid i alway thought it would be funny to put a 5l v8 in a mini.... same thing ;p

 

[Vasco]

Well first of all wouldn't you have to extend the engine bay to put a v8 in? I don't think it's the same thing as a four cylinder ving, because normal Mirages have 2l 4 cylinders...or 1.8s

 

[ving]

wtf???
they have a 1.4 or 1.5 I think!

to put a v8 in a mini you have to sit in the back seat cause the engine takes over the front one... i've seen it done

 

[freerider]

Just saw on TV the Mitsubishi Evo 8 at the Rally of Quebec in the Canadian rally series. Doesn't look different or seem to be any faster the the Evo 7. Maybe it time to retire the Evo series all together!

 

[ving]

well they are going for the lancer evo next year at least. but after that prolly going for the mirage/colt in an evo form with a 2.0ltr turbo 4wd. should be much more competitive
