The evo 6
X for me wanted one since I was a kid back in 08 so now I own one 🙏😀
the z31 300zx
You guys need to do a video on the EPA aftermarket mod ban. We need to raise awareness to stop it.
My favorite has to be the V TME edition, but for an attainable Evo, it’d have to be the IX SE
The reason the power "stays the same" is because of the gentleman's agreement to not make cars with more than 276hp.
Very true
Toyota threw that book out the window
They just agreed to not list more than 276hp regardless of what it actually was.
That's actually NOT the reason.
Gentlemans Agreement was 300hp and Evo1-8 were all around 275hp and the 9 was 286hp. That still leaves almost 20hp of improvement so... No
That's not the reason.
I hate when ppl just throw around that phrase w/o actually knowing what it is.
The Gentlemen's Agreement was for safety reasons. More importantly, it was for Advertising safety. 100% stock BNR32 makes over 300hp but even they were rated @276hp which all cars are rated to the Crank, but they made 320hp to the Crank and 280awhp. The same goes for the 33 & 34. All the Motor companies agreed not to "Advertise" their vehicles to make over 300hp for a few reasons. Main one being for safety, but most importantly in their eyes, it was so that they didn't start a competition war, which technically leads to safety issues so
@@Thr33.Sid3z mate, it IS the reason. Gentlemen's agreement was 276hp. A quick google search would have revealed that.
The Evo in 2F2F was an Evo 7. Evo 8 was in Tokyo Drift.
Evo 7 with the walker bodykit
@@jaircabada9026 the presenter is the biggest flog
That's what I was looking for in the comments
It was an evo 9 with a apr evil-r bodykit
Tokyo drift was an evo 9 with 8 front bumper
We should start a petition to bring the Evo back into production.
Wont happen sorry to disapoint you but if it comes back its an electric suv or crossover
very,very unlikely.
Na we don't want evo back, they are shitboxes..
It’s coming back as an electric. Mitsubishi has been working on it for a few year’s now.
We don't want an electric evo, we want the original evo 5 back
Finally a good comparison of iconic JDM Legends new JDM enthusiasts/fans keep comparing the current gen STi to the new Type-R 😒
Thats because most of Today's Subie fanboys are yesterdays honda fanboys. I'd argue that a majority of them don't even know about the Mitsubishi rivalry with Subaru.
The reason people keep comparing them is because there isn't much, actually any real, competition for the STI. The closest you could get, before it was discontinued, was the Evo X as it was a newer car that felt like an old car, but drove as good as a new car. The FoRS, CTR, or any other "competitor" for the STI aren't the same because they aren't trying to be.
@@whatiwant8898 Well they need to learn the roots though its just not right comparing an awd to fwd with big power gap...
@@krispydream6907 I agree about the FWD vs AWD, but the CTR and STI both make the same power.
@@teekay929 I m sure they know, everybody knows who were the one and only true rival of the wrx. I love both evo and wrx, I truly think the rivalry between them is a iconic scene.
Im surprised that he didn’t talked about the evo 9 Jackie Chan edition
Jackie Chan's Thunderbolt Evo V FTW
Mitsubishi gained quite a bit of success because of him. Thunder bolt, who am I, cannonball run.
They probably dont know about it.
@@8145dwerdna Cannonball Run 2 with Jaws as the driver made MITSU in the USA n introduced Jackie as well. Starion!!!
@@zykarr7922 It was an Evo III not V
The answer: EVERY. SINGLE. ONE.
You're not wrong for the most part. I love it.
I have a subaru now and I once owned a evo 9....trust me the 4g63 engine is a monster. Plus the gear ratios.
Watch some best motoring bro. This comment is ignorant.
@@bradsylvester6938 so are you.
@@flatoutnorth794 video evidence proves otherwise but carry on in your delusion
Never have I ever clicked faster. Evo Gang🤘
I would say the 6.5 T.M.E was the Evo at its peak. That was the last pure, group A made for rally generation before Mitsubishi ditched their winning formula and moved to the WRC class with the other manufacturers which no longer required them to produce the minimum 2500 for homologation, which ended their winning streak and led them to eventually pull out of the rally all together
As much as I love the EVO VIII, I have to agree with you. 6.5 or the TME is really where Ralliart thought out of the box to give us what a REAL Evo should be. And it's amazing what they've done. I wish they've seen how successful the TME was and decided to give us special edition for all the EVO generations.
Initial D was my introduction to the older EVOs and Anti-Lag. Man, that Emperor Team was badass
Same dude. That black Evo 3 was what made me fall in love with the Lancer Evolution.
@@jadonbergen1118 we are the same
(kyoichi's calculations INTENSIFIES*)
I couldn’t wait and went to Japan and bought myself an Evo 4 GSR to import this year. Just waiting for it to reach 25.
Awesome episode!
All evo's are the best. My favorite is probably the Evo 8.
I briefly owned an evo 8 gsr regret selling it to this day.
The best is probably 9. Looks, variable valve timing, has acd + ayc, and the last 4g63t.
@@antoniomarcelino1058 didn't the 9 Mr come with the dreaded 6 speed tho? Or am I mistaken?
@@deathbyscope the Evo VIII also had an MR option that came with the 6 speed. So not just the Evo IX.
@@antoniomarcelino1058 Idk why peopel say the 9 looks better it just has a different front bumper exterior wise and the mivtec stuff gets deleted when more power .
My guess is the evo 5 ? The evo 5 will allways be my favourite evo.. Evo 4 and 5. They just look badass even in road production spec. Oh and the evo 9 wagooooooooooooon.
So you want a lotus exige s. Day 167.
I think the suv crossover one is good too....
@Shndon430 Hurtado thanks. Especially with those rally fog lights !
Yes! The evo 5 is also my favorite, followed closely by the 6 Tommy maniken edition.
The 5 was the only one I ever owned, so I might be a bit biased, but I loved that thing. If I had a chance to own another Evo I would probably go for a T.M.E, those are the most refined of the group A rally era
I love my Evo V. I have an Evo 9 turbo on it
Even though I'm a former X owner, I think the 9 was truly the pinnacle. If they would have just added MIVEC to the exhaust cam and made suitable changes to meet newer standards plus a refreshed interior, I think it would have been the best ever period.
As an Evo8 owner, I'm happy with your conclusion.
The Evo 9 ❤️ for me 🥵 one of my ALL TIME favorite cars
Hell Yeah. It more closely resembles the older Japanese designed models as opposed to the European designed Evo X, and is also the the most improved of the older models while still being lighter than the Evo X.
It's the best the EVO ever was, imo.
WE NEED A S CHASSIS LIST!!!
Fax
nah we need yota JZs cars
Lan-Evo V is easily the best looking of the bunch.
Also, I'm pretty sure the 2F2F Evo was a VII...
I think your right. But i know that they did sumn wierd with the tail lights to make it look Like the previous gen. So it might be an 8 that looked like a 7 . Or something like that
@@rnbrockstar6591 it was a 7 with lancer taillights because the US had no aftermarket for evos yet
@@rnbrockstar6591 they imported it. I think Craig Lieberman did a video on it. The evo didn't come here till after production.
I believe that wasn’t an actual evo. It was a lancer with a body kit.
The "Evo" in 2f2f was indeed a VII but it was only used for stationary and light driving scenes (only alotted 1, because it wasn't stateside yet). Multiple worked up lancers were used for action sequences.
This video put a huge smile on my face. I'll love my Evo 8 to the grave, but the 4 and 5 are tied for my favorites because of looks, initial D arcade stage, Jackie Chan and of course peak 90s rally domination.
Can you daily an evo 8? I've already got a project 3rd gen firebird but man i love JDM, especially unique stuff like skylines, subies, and evos
@Levi Richards Yeah they make for a good daily. It can function as a camry when you need to go to walmart. Gas mileage is meh, but that's to be expected from turbo cars of that era. Just maintain drivetrain fluids and check tire pressure more often because of the awd. Everything can handle a good beating except for the transfer case, so I upgraded mine. Evos have their quirks but no more than any other car that's designed to kick ass in a race.
I actually got to meet the English voices of Initial D Team Emporer Chris Sabat and Jason Douglas
2Fast2Furious Evo was an VII but we can let that slide. Great video!
Im pretty sure it was a 7 modded to resemble an 8
@@stephenyang8133 it was a 7 and looked like a 7.
You beat me to it
Scrolled through the comments to make sure I didn't repeat this. 😉 your on it
@@BaberBuilt This car provided by Mitsubishi, Japan. They were really Evo VIIs, but Mitsubishi wanted to showcase them as Evo 8s. To do this meant grafting in Evo 8 taillights.
Proud Evo 3 GSR owner, just got it here on the US east coast after owning it in England.
I really like Sean and Alex. Their contents are amazing.
Man the one in 2f2f was an EVO 7..... all though as a true fan of EVO’s I would say that each and every EVO made its own history even the X so I appreciate all of them
Evo III, IX, and X.
Sold my 10 and currently saving for a 5.
I want a X, any recomendations on what to look on when i find one?
@@edgarzavala2258 AYC refurbished and/or repositioned, new timing chain... Most likely done by now. A gear box service or two if you are looking at a SST (twin clutch auto) a solid gearbox is a must
A new Getrag gearbox is approximately £14,000 form Mitsubishi 6k rebuild.
A good service history.
I think 12 years corrosion guarantee, so depending on the model age could be a watch out.
@@nedson6503 Thank you man, I was about to reply.
Fun and interesting video. Great distraction as I sheltered from the weather earlier.
You guys forgot the EVO X FQ AND THE EVO X FINAL EDITION.
Because they suck
10:17 Sweet!! So much fun to drive I tell ya. Makes me appreciate it even more thanks to this video!! 🔥🔥
Love to see you guys cover the Alfa Romeo Guadrifoglio. Planning on getting one and definitely modifying. Sorry it’s not JDM but it’s what I like.
Man what camera are you guys using for the recording? It has amazing quality!
Gran Turismo 1 was the first place I ever saw an Evo back in 97' and I've been in love with them ever since with the Evo 4 being my all time favourite to look at
Another great video, yall don't miss!
Always!
All of them are great! I love my 10 and will not get rid of it ever ❤️
As a proud evo 8 owner. Ty
Evo V owner here, but all of them are great !
I just got a evo 8 and I’m a very proud owner can’t wait to learn what’s the power plant
Awesome informative video, I personally like Evo 5 and Evo 8. However, they're all epic cars
I’ve had 2 IXs. I loved them both dearly. Looks, I like a 8 with a nose chop and JDM rear bumper. Interior of the 8/9 is for sure better in the 9. Engine I’m a 4g63 guy but that 4b11 is a stout platform. I say basically the 9 and 10 are best. But I think the V is my favorite.
Best evo made was the 6.5 Tommi Mak. Had a 6.5, 7, 7RS, 9 and been in plenty of 10s and hands down the 6.5 is the best
Why not 9 though?
@@hartpa because it is heavier.
@@TheEddysGarage More power, better traction distribution, enhanced ABS, better weight distribution with aluminium roof, better interior and styling not taken into account then?
@@hartpa I have owned both and the 6.5 Tommi is a special car. Lighter, more responsive in every way. It even has a quicker steering rack than the regular evo 6. Drive one and you will see.
@@hartpa you can take a corner sow easier than a evo 9 correct me if i am wrong but the evo 9 the 75% in the front and 25% in the back but the evo 6.5 it's 60% in the front and 40% in the back
Loved this video my favourite evo is an evo 4 because I own one lol! They’re awesome cars
Evo peaked design wise at 5. After 5th it lost its rally styling. Evo 6 still passes, but 7+ are far gone from being anything rally like
Thank you for this
Evo VIII/IX made me fall in love with Evos! Evo X is my favourite one because of its looks 😍 and handling and it’s a better one for everyday driving! I own 2016 Lancer but Evo X will be my next car in 2-3 years 🤞🏻
Evo 9 is better
@@jrockhardest better then Eclipse yes.
@@LP-bt4jk better than an evo 10 and i think the 99 eclipse gsx is better too
@@jrockhardest Evo’s are better then Eclipses, yes.
Do you have your evo now?
Had a fq360 astonishing car. In the uk were blessed with the first models
I'm happy with my 10, I will never get rid of it
NEVER!
Same love my 10
Me 4th. I still keep my baby w 40k miles.
I've been really wanting to import an Evo III for a while, can't wait to watch the video and see if I'm correct on wanting that one the most
i don't think there's really a wrong answer about choosing an evo. as long as you maintain it and it makes you happy,it's the right one.
My favorite is the Evo 9, which I've had for 18 years. The EVO 9 and my daughter are the same age.
Evo 3 the underated one!🔥❤
The 2016 lol
I love both the evos and stis, it’s unfortunate Subaru doesn’t have a competitor anymore
Evo X / IX
Great when running. But that is the Caveat , unless you don't touch the motor, then good fun cars. But the transfer case is the weak link. Well done.
Had an 8, currently in a 10. Love them both. As a daily, 10 wins. Weekend fun, 8 all day. Currently looking for a 6 to historical plate and play on the weekends. 😊
Agreed 8-9 is the “best” and most iconic. Although I really really like the Evo 3 with its oversized fog lights. Never owned an evo because I always thought they were a pain to keep running properly. The bro tax too, usually overpriced modded to all hell on the used market.
yasssssss, i thought you were gonna say the 9 but my evo 8 mr is tipping its hat to you , great vid
I own a drag built 8 i love it
Day 2 of asking Fitment Industries to bring back Wheel History.
I'm proud of myself still got Mitsubishi evolution 3 kansai edition
I love the 1 3 and 9
Evo X is my dream car, I just started getting i to cars and I’m already getting super excited to mod cars
I had a 06 sportback in seamists blue loved that car but had to get rid of it, I did a little research and the only diffraction between it and the j spec wagon, was the fenders quarters driveline and a couple of other small items, and they can all be imported from Japan but irregardless of where your at its a very rare car, if I ever find another I'm gonna do my dream evo build
Evo 5 😍 the trunk and wing pointy and big 🔥
Amazing 10 years of evo 10 production no major changes but they can't beat the design of evo 10 until now.
I have not yet finished the video but I will forget what I'm going to ask when the EVO 3 became the EVO 4 the timing belt switched on which side the engine bay the timing belt would be on hard to explain JDM vs. Usdm but big changes
I do plan on importing a 9 wagon stateside here at some point. Next on the list of dreams to buy.
I've loved evos ever since I was little and my first nfs and f&f films and I just graduated and have taken time to learn more about cars but I wanna know which evo would be a good car to look into not to really work on yet or get into the car game rn but which one to just have a d drive around that is reliable, affordable, efficient, easy to handle and also for rn automatic and maybe awd for the WA weather
May favorite EVO will always be the EVO II and III.
EVO III FTW
@@mikeyg923 I would love to own a White III GSR someday soon. The wheels I want to put on the III would have to be the Desmond Regamaster EVO II 17X9 in white. I also might to purchase a couple sets of these wheels as well. Would love to throw them on my Lancer Sportback/ EvoX MR Wagon swapped project.
I got the evo 6 but I’d love the 8/9
The Evo( gen 8 - 10) look so clean without the rear spoiler.
Evo 9 station wagon? That sounds amazing!
I just bought a 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 7 GT-A which is the automatic version from auction, waiting for it to arrive to Canada, I was looking for a manual Evo 7 GSR but prices are in the 22-25k CAD landed to Canada range and only had a 20k CAD Landed budget to work with, I plan to do a manual swap if the auto trans goes out on me, I'm excited for it to arrive.
Hey can you guys do a video on the lincoln mark viii?
Attempt #2
The early Cyclone big port 4Gs were a good thing
9 the pinnacle of evo line!.
But remember I'm Japan there had the hourse power restricted to 260bhp back on the 90s, but there very easy to take to 350/360 bhp just by changing fuel pump, decat and a map on the 7/8/9
Evo 6 is my favorite and plan to have one parked next to my blobeye when they become legal to import.
Evo 4 and the Evo 8 or 9 for me. Family had an Evo 4 as a family car and the evo lineage grew on me... plus the Evo 8 kinda looks sexy.
THANK YOU
for me the the desire one will be evo-0, aka galant vr4, the car that started it
Im an evo 9 owner, i love it & will be my car foreva 😀
JDM 9 GT in white is my personal favourite
I've got an Evo 7 but the Evo 9 is definitely the creme of the crop.
Nice. Now can we get one on the wrx sti
6 is my fave but id happily take mr8
As a southeast asian man once you have evolution gen. 1or X your a champ.
My Favourite Evo Is The Galant VR-4
I own a EVO-X SE, very nice car, fun to drive..m really engage to drive it
I like the evo 3 end evo 4 I just love them
Love for all Evo’s!
10:37 Isnt that Evo VII in F&F2? but Evo VIII is in Tokyodrift instead...why no one mentioned a VII GTA or IX Wagon?
Sti owner, love them evos too. Some day I'll own the brothers
Own a Evo 10 gsr built 2.2tomei stroker, tpc gt35. Thinking of changing to a gtr r35. Has anyone went from an evo to a gtr r35? What's your thoughts.
I get them confused too the evo 8 & 9 but those are the best looking evos ever made. I would love 2 own one. It's a true jdm car.
Whoever needs to read this Mitsubishi revived the ralliart program in May 2021 and is interested in getting back to rally. Also in some meeting (dont remember the details on that) the investors themselves demanded a new lancer evo and the idea of a new evo is only being stopped by "financial difficulties". So basically Mitsubishi does care about enthusiasts and they do wanna offer something sporty...its just they're broke
Mine is the evo 8 and the evo 3,btw evo 4 do be the most underrated evo tho(in my opinion),and it started grew in me! :D
I agree with the VIII.
You should do the best Ford RS car. Escort, Sierra, Focus, etc.
All of them!
My Favorite Evo is the Evo IX♥️♥️♥️♥️
Evo 4 is my favorite . It's all there.
Evo 3 💥. Rally born light as hell no fear no air bags.
