Evo VIII w/ this wing? - CarForums.net

RacingManiac · 03-04-2004, 10:18 PM

Saw this 2 weeks ago at Toronto show, as a "halo car" for Mitsubishi(EVO VIII is not sold in Canada for not passing Canadian's 5mph bumper test, US requires only 2.5mph, and Evo obviously has the problem with the intercooler IN the bumper making a fix difficult....)....anyhow, it doesn't have the wing like a regular one OR no wing like the new RS....

Looks kinda tame eh? I dont like it.

Thats the wing that comes on the base lancers here in the states and is an option on evolutions if you dont want the big wing.

Looks a bit ackward with out the wing...

why? the big wing is definitely unrice, and even if it is...its been done this way since the very early on (the 3?)

and this is just going to be even less functional, and even uglier IMO

I've never saw a good pic of the EVO with that spoiler. The auto ones in Japan come with them right?...

I like that wing on it... It works well with the flaired shoulders. I don't mind the large wing either... Though I've never read that it was functional I often hear complaints without it.

Either way.. EVO > anything new under 50k.

I did read somewhere that the Evo RS felt more squirelly at higher speeds vs the regular Evo and they thought that it was attributable to the wing.

I'd definitely think so.....as clearly evo is like a nose heavy FWD car....the wing should help their underlying stability issue...

It does look like a standard issue 20k Lander with that wing on it... need that other one.
