Im wondering what the 0-60 times are and 0-100 times are on this car. so if you let me know i would apreciate it alot. im trying to learn more about lancers ( i drive a 06 lancer Es ) Forest
7.7 .. i doubt it.. think higher. I believe the CVT comes in at 10.5 and the manaul at 9.5 seconds. That is 0-100kmh ( 0-60mph ) My CE coupe lancer was doing about 10 seconds stock. With a few basic mods you could easily get it down to about 8. Basically un-doing all the work mitsu did to make it fuel efficent and quiet will get you about 2 seconds.. i'd say it would hold true for the new one too. Basically getting those 2 seconds off required exhaust, extractors, SRI, bored out TB by 5mm and a rising rate FPR. To get down to 7.7 your going to need a bit more work. A lightweigh pulley would probably get you there on a good launch. one thing to note though i believe those times of 10.5 and 9.5 for CVT and manual respectively were tested on the VRX ( GTS ) which has the disadvantage of more weight but the huge advantage of much sticker tyres ( well for the aus version anyway as we get yokohama advan's )
Mabe the EVO X post the link to the car and driver, with reference to that would you please. I am curious myself.
The general consensus seems to be in the range of 7.5-8.5 seconds for the NA spec lancers (lower end of the spectrum being 5spd, higher being CVT). I have seen some outside of this spec, but they seem to be isolated incidents. I know motorweek managed a 7.7 with what I assume was a CVT, because thats the car they were given to test and it sounded like a CVT as it raced down the track. The quickest quarter mile time I've seen is 15.9. Keep in mind these are professional drivers though, and they do multiple runs in optimal conditions, so you will probably never match these numbers. 0-60MPH times are for PR if you ask me, the real telling statistic is 0-60ft times. Overall while this car may feel underpowered, I think that is an illusion, it's sportier than you would expect.

im only quoting the mitsu specs. Mitsubishi is claiming it does 9.5 for the manual and 10.5 for the auto.. great if its faster.. havent tested mine its still a couple weeks away : (
i dont understand this whole thing now, are they doing testing in the paddle shifting mode or the D thing???? i got my car to go in paddle shifting mode 0-6 in 7.5 seconds while in D its slower closer to 9.6
wow. so basically this car responds better to being shifted 'manually'? That's pretty cool. 9.6 is a huge difference to 7.5. crazy
yep, the paddle shifters will get you moving quicker than standard D-mode. D is awsome for driving in the mountains or on the highway. The CVT works very well for hills, never bogs down or loses power
they are some good times, much better than i expected and much faster than my coupe. manual wins still It may very well show more power on a dyno with D mode but power isnt everything. I doubt D will even get close to the red line with your foot to the floor. Although i hear even with the paddle shifts it stops short of the red line which would explain the faster times from the manual.
60mph is only 2mph less than 100kph so I don't see how there could be such a huge difference (7.8 versus 9.5 for the manual). Did Mitsubishi get a bunch of grandmas to test the acceleration?
seriously those 10.5 sec figures are totally wrong, I live in Dubai and i've done several 0-60 and 0-62 times with mine even though its a hot weather here, and here's wut i could average 0-60: 8.1 in manual mode and 8.3 in D 0-62: 8.5 In manual and 8.6-8.7 in D manual mode is only good up to the third gear, then move to D.. and the CVT Manual doesnt let it rev more than 5900 RPM and about 6200 in D, so better have it in D mode if you're doing above 60-65 MPh The new Lancer is fast for a stock 2.0 car, it just doesnt feel like its going fast and thats the thing with all CVTs..
