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.....

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

      Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?

      Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      Could it really happen......

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
