No I haven't bought mine yet, however if I lived in the UK and had an exceptional amount of money, the new EVOVIII MR FQ400 would be top of my list.

0-100 in 3.5

Article Here-> http://driving.timesonline.co.uk/article/0...1406902,00.html

Some quotes

"The brakes, which are to a bespoke specification, are so powerful I half expected them to trigger the airbags"

"I have it direct from Mitsubishi that 400 refers roughly to its power output and FQ to the words that come out your mouth the first time you sample it. And, yes, the Q is “quick”."

10 points to whoever works out the F in FQ first :)

It's also in the latest SPEED magazine I beleive.

There is a bloke at work who wouldnt shut up about it. He s totally in love with it. He reckons he read an article which said that they took it for a spin on the track and it won against the Zonda. With that horrible torque curve i doubt it is worth anything on the track. Unless its got antilag its only good for drags.

Depends on your ability to keep revs up IMHO. Evo's have a relativley close ratio box, so a bit of the ol' heel/toe and even shifting into 1st if neccessary (OMG! People do that! People like me :P ) and you could probably do alright.

On the subject of being in love with it. I have already have two wet dreams about it. The best one involved strapping into some gravel and hitting the gravel mode button. The sheets will never be the same again.....

:bananaman:

Against a Zonda on tarmac? No way. It just wouldnt have the response needed to corner.

Quite interesting seeing all the Evo boys creaming over the 400.

If you keep the revs up in it, its a very quick car point to point. I have seen video of it whooping a Lamborghini Murciellago around a track, and before anyone crys foul about inexperianced drivers, the Lamborghini was being driven by a professional European touring car driver.

It is a very very very quick car point to point through corners, you just need the brains and balls to know how to drive it properly :D

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
