    I just really bought a brand spanking new 2010 Lancer GTS and it has the standard 170hp with the CVT transmission. I wanted to know if it is possible to do work to it and also can you race with it while putting it into the CVT mode? I really would like some help with this. I am only 20.

    Also what would you recommend me start with in terms of Aftermarket Performance Parts, I don't want to do anything Cosmetic.

    The last question I have is, while I am in CVT or "Manual" Mode when is it appropriate to shift? I mean when I am in 1st I rev to 3,000rpm then kick it to 2nd then 3,000rpm then 3rd, and etc. etc.

    But please help me. Thanks So Much.... :) :) :)

    If you have to ask if you can race with it, and how to race with it, its usually a good indicator that YOU shouldn't race with it. However, you can do whatever you want with it, race it or don't.

    You are not gonna win any drag races with this car...

    Autocross on the other hand, if you get the right mods, and learn how to drive such courses. And it's not as easy as it seems.

    You can race with any car. doesn't mean it is safe. cvt transmission and all... just mean less shifting :) Do normal upgrades... intake exhaust ect ect.. see where it leads you

    you only go to 3,000rpm? Well, while just driving on the street around town I usually shift around 4,000rpm. Racing (at a track) redline. I didnt know cvt has manual mode. I had a manual gts.

    Why would u race a cvt lancer?? I don't understand @ all. If you want real control and power manual all the way. Can't say how to mod.. I just brought my lancer and I'm looking into modding it myself, not to race just because I like to get up and go

    ^ i agree if you had any indication you wanted to race you should of gotten the regular M/T with the CVT theirs a lag when shifting ie loss of power/forward motion. but good luck and be safe!
