Mitsubishi News Release for 2009 Models

you meant this right?

j/k

 

yea the new tiburon is said to be in the 30k range with 300+hp

 

Hey man.. just to let you know, my last car was a 2001 Hyundai Elantra and that is one car I Never regretted buying. The car was solid and ran like a champ, it is by far the best vehicle I have ever owned to date (not including the lancer, cuase I havent owned it long enough).

Funny thing is, there was nothing really wrong with my Elantra, I just wanted a new car that looked better and had a sportier drive to it. The lancer ,by far, is better handling... but to tell the truth, the Elantra was just as fast, if not faster, then the 08 Lancer I have now.

I wouldnt hestitate at all to reccomend a Hyundai to anyone, they are really a nice car now, not like in the old days.

 

/\ back in the day, they were straight pos cars. an ex-gf had one and I did not want to be seen in one

 

lmao Alvin.

09 lancer review

http://magazine.windingroad.com/winding ... /?folio=47


0-60 7.5 sec on the cvt?wtf

 

Anyone know what it would take to get enough performance out of a 2 litre GTS to match a 2.4 litre GTS? Surely it shouldn't require anything more than light mods, especially considering that the 2.4 is a heavier engine and only produces an extra 16HP and 20 lb/ft at the flywheel.

 

when is the projected release date for the '09s? cuz i'm planning on getting a lancer soon, probably after the summer... and trying to figure out if i should wait for the '09... other thing is... how much more would the '09 GTS be since it has a newer engine?

 

nvm i just found it....

'08
Lancer GTS 4-Door DOHC MIVEC (2.0L/5M) $17,490.00 5-Speed Manual

'09
Lancer GTS 2.4L 4-Door DOHC MIVEC (2.4L/5M) $17,990.00 5-Speed Manual

it's only gonna be $500 more... i might as well wait for the '09 to come out and get a better engine... now i just have to find out "WHEN" it's coming out :-\

 

i forget what magazine, but the engine in the new GTS is the 4B12 motor just my two cents :lol:

 

we already know it was in the first link of the OP...

check GTS, 4B12... 2.4L 168@6000 =)... i wonder if anyone knows the power:weight ratio between the 4B12 and 4B11...

 

be mindful that the 4b12 may not have transferable parts from the Evo X. One benefit from our Lancers to the Evo X is they are running the same engine...just without a turbo and some other stuff.
