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

      If we're going after market gauges, I'm a big fan of Australian made... Get some RedArc!

      Unless you're fortunate enough to buy a newer car, getting an older style plate to match your name/car is difficult because they've already been purchased.  Unlike other countries, personalised plates are locked to the country and not region, so there can't be multiple versions of the same plate but with a different area code.  Hope that helps

      People use the numbers to make it look like letters to spell words/names, which is where the illegal spacing comes in. For example this GR Yaris

      Today's rock removal from my stock pile out the back into a 4m³ skip bin, I still have a bit to go, hopefully there's enough room in the skip bin, it will be close My daughter and her boy was coming on Sunday to help, but, I got possessed by demons and started work as soon as the bin arrived at 1230 today Lots and lots of barrow loads were achieved  Currently I'm sitting on the lounge drinking beer thinking of how I should have waited till Sunday for some help, tomorrow will be a day off, in saying this, my day off will involve prep and paint of my alloy coolant and PS tanks with wrinkle paint (Jackie is in Sydney till Sunday so the home oven will get a run curing the paint....LOL)

      That's why I said it is a meaningless term. Because there is more than one meaning that people can apply to it. When we said "highflow", that is exactly what we mean, and exactly what is done. In a highflow, they take your housing and machine them out to take bigger wheels, have a better internal profile, etc etc, and fit a new core with the different/better/bigger wheels.
