page dont work for me.but they both have very close curb weight.
Side impact beams for crash safety improvement? Did they decide to make US and Canadian Evo's the same (cannot load the linked page, is the length the same as the Canadian Evo?).
It's a fat fuck now! i dont know about a 3600lb evo. that just seems a little much imo.
but hey, it still should be a kickass car for what it is!
for those who cant see the page:

Hah, looks kind of the like Canadian spec sheet!
The STI will do better straight ahead with more power and lighter weight (and 6 spd manual versus 5 spd), but it remains to be seen who does better on a track, and the Evo will be hard to beat given the tests reported so far.
Ugh. That's a full 800lbs heavier than my mazda. Jesus lord, what did they do?

Let the weight reduction begin.

Now we see the Canadian Evo is still longer than the US Evo, so it can't be bumper reinforcement alone causing the weight gain.

So MR with all the gadgetry is only around 80 more than the GSR? Thats kind of odd...

Must be the safety features that is adding all the weight...
Nah, the trans itself probably just weighs more.
its fatty.
THIRTY SIX HUNDRED POUNDS? Only 295 hp? The MR was gonna be my next ride, but it barely has a better power to weight ratio than my 88 Mustang sedan with the 5.0 option.....

Ya, but it is around 200 pounds heavier than JDM spec Evo X. Well I guess it is expected.

I also don't like how we get 11 less torque then the JDM/European counter part. They get there 311 lb/tq at 3,500 RPM too. I know I know, we get more horsepower, but I want my torque more :)

Now all I want to know is the pricing.

Are you sure about that??

I wouldn't take those numbers as gospel. I suspect the marketing dept is lying to us.
Are you sure about that??


GSR 1520 kg = 3344 lb

MR 1540 kg = 3388 lb

Something fishy though, there is no MR in Japan...

edit: USDM MR is 206 lbs heavier than the JDM one and USDM GSR is 173 lbs heavier than JDM GSR.

Looks like that two sec around the track advantage over the ix is going to diminish since the usdm x has an almost a 250 pound weight penalty to the jdm x.:popcorn:
it just seems like tooo much weight.
maybe we'll see a lighter evo on the XI?
