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
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.
@@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.
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.
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.
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
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.
@@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 .
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.
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
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.
@@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.
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.
@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.
@@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
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 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 🤞🏻

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.

WRX vs Evo is like picking Batman or IronMan, Thanos or Darkseid, Xbox or PS. Both are great cars, both have heritage, both have the most amazing rally stories, what ruins 'em are the toxic communities of fanboys
@@sixstrz8310 tell me about it, my father and I bought a MK4 GTI as project, although sometimes the community has helped us fix some issues, they are infamous for being the most toxic, arrogant and know-it-all of them all
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. 😊
Evo X for me, it’s the most aggressive looking evo, more reliable, and better performance cause the spools quicker and it has mivec in both intake and exhaust, not to mention it sounds really aggressive too compared to the others.
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
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.
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
the 4g63 didn't even get mivec until evo 9. pain in the hindside to tune when you can't even adjust timing properly. no way anyone thinks evo 8 is the best lmao. also, now that i've experienced 2 aluminium engined cars and 3 cast iron blocked cars, i can say for sure semi open deck aluminium is the best engine block construction. no overheating issues, no random hotspots causing knocks, no oil guzzling etc. i'll take a 350whp evo x over a 450whp evo 9 any day. the only downside of evo x is the weight. however, it still has better handling than 1-9 because it has better weight balance front to rear which gives you less understeer when entering a corner, and an incredible torque vectoring system to help the rear rotate when exiting a corner. so, unless you are building a drag car (in which case you should ask yourself why are you drag racing with a 2 litre milk jug), evo x is a better car in every other way, daily, touring, track days, you name it.
@@darekm6859 the two cars that shipped with 4b11t (evo x and lancer ralliart) both came out of the factory with an exhaust system that had a very poorly tuned/engineered resonator. basically it didn't block "undesirable" frequencies properly and blocked a lot of nice sounds. i have a very cheap 3" pipes turbo back system from xForce on, which barely cost me $1,100 installed (usd $800-ish if we are using 2018's exchange rate). it now sounds like a baby flatplane v8 when you get past 3,500rpm. i know a lot of evo x owners are now trying to keep their car stock for better resale value. but for things like intake, exhaust and coilover etc, it's so easy to get aftermarket parts, save the OEM ones, and swap back to OEM when selling. there's no reason to keep using OEM exhaust if you dislike it that much.
There's already one in the US I know of, but I'm almost sure it isn't legal. Feds don't really care anymore really. Before people would legitimately hide their cars to prevent from being found out by the feds and crushed, but nowadays everyone is posting their shit on social media.
I had bouth 9 and 10. the then is more like an race car, mutch faster turnin and stiffer chasis, and the awd is even more better tahn the 9. the 9 is more like a gocart but you feel it is an old car. but it is more fun to drive. i ceep the 9, but i want the 10 again.
After owning a 9 and getting an X, i have to say i think the 4b11 is a better engine, as well as the X being the only US model with AYC. Im making 603 with fuel system, cams, springs/retainers and a gtx3576 on a "stock" internal engine with absolutely zero issues so far. 4b11 with 4 bolt mains, and took the few issues the previous models had and fixed all of them
Id argue that if you think the 8 is the best, then that would make the 9 actually the best. As it was the 4g63 final form, and it made the most "stock" power of the models, and had a larger turbo than the 8. Plus, like you said, you can get a wagon! And the mivec was mitsubishis last innovation for the 4g63 before going to the 4b11. Which as much as people hate on the X, it is a solid motor with impressive potential.
damnnn...I own a Cedia in India which is a baby EVO 8 with a 4G94. It's got 115 Bhp, a fraction of the real deal. But for the Indian roads, it's a freaking assassin souled machine. Feeling blessed to own a Mitsubishi on the Indian roads.
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
To me, a great car is one that I love to drive and have fun any time I get in it. Having the best numbers on paper doesn't mean anything to me, all that matters is if it makes me happy. Luckily, I own such a car.
I've got a 2019 STI & owned a 2006 brand new EVO 9 way back in the day. The Evo is a better mod friendly car than the STI. But the STI is a better daily driver than the EVO.
I think they are equally modable just one costs more. Having a built sti, I know evo guys have some items that come stock I wish the sti had in stock form.
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
VIII GSR owner here. Love/hate relationship with it. If these things are touched, you better be careful because these t-cases love to grenade. You also better get used to resistance at high speeds. Not very reliable either. As painful as it sounds, they're better when left alone. Keep em stock

@@darekm6859 the two cars that shipped with 4b11t (evo x and lancer ralliart) both came out of the factory with an exhaust system that had a very poorly tuned/engineered resonator. basically it didn't block "undesirable" frequencies properly and blocked a lot of nice sounds. i have a very cheap 3" pipes turbo back system from xForce on, which barely cost me $1,100 installed (usd $800-ish if we are using 2018's exchange rate). it now sounds like a baby flatplane v8 when you get past 3,500rpm. i know a lot of evo x owners are now trying to keep their car stock for better resale value. but for things like intake, exhaust and coilover etc, it's so easy to get aftermarket parts, save the OEM ones, and swap back to OEM when selling. there's no reason to keep using OEM exhaust if you dislike it that much.
9 the pinnacle of evo line!.
EVO IX the perfect killing machine. ❤️
Evo 10: User friendly for daily driving. Even though Evo 9 wagon is a future import...
There's already one in the US I know of, but I'm almost sure it isn't legal. Feds don't really care anymore really. Before people would legitimately hide their cars to prevent from being found out by the feds and crushed, but nowadays everyone is posting their shit on social media.
I love my 9, but 7 is my favorite.
Genuine question: why would you prefer a 7 rather than the 9? I had an evo iv but the ix was always my dream evo.
I had bouth 9 and 10. the then is more like an race car, mutch faster turnin and stiffer chasis, and the awd is even more better tahn the 9.
the 9 is more like a gocart but you feel it is an old car. but it is more fun to drive.
i ceep the 9, but i want the 10 again.
After owning a 9 and getting an X, i have to say i think the 4b11 is a better engine, as well as the X being the only US model with AYC. Im making 603 with fuel system, cams, springs/retainers and a gtx3576 on a "stock" internal engine with absolutely zero issues so far. 4b11 with 4 bolt mains, and took the few issues the previous models had and fixed all of them
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.
6 is my fave but id happily take mr8
For looks, I'd choose evo 4 and 5
Let's give the EVO III some love. God I love mine
Same bro 🤙
Id argue that if you think the 8 is the best, then that would make the 9 actually the best. As it was the 4g63 final form, and it made the most "stock" power of the models, and had a larger turbo than the 8. Plus, like you said, you can get a wagon! And the mivec was mitsubishis last innovation for the 4g63 before going to the 4b11. Which as much as people hate on the X, it is a solid motor with impressive potential.
damnnn...I own a Cedia in India which is a baby EVO 8 with a 4G94.
It's got 115 Bhp, a fraction of the real deal. But for the Indian roads, it's a freaking assassin souled machine.
Feeling blessed to own a Mitsubishi on the Indian roads.
As a southeast asian man once you have evolution gen. 1or X your a champ.
Evo 4 is my favorite . It's all there.
for me the the desire one will be evo-0, aka galant vr4, the car that started it
The 8-9’s are by far the best IMO
6.5 is good too. Still not as beautiful as 8 & 9
I really like Sean and Alex. Their contents are amazing.
10:17 Sweet!! So much fun to drive I tell ya. Makes me appreciate it even more thanks to this video!! 🔥🔥
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
Didn't the evos that were sold here didn't have AYC??
Yes and no. For North America, Evo 8/9 didn't have AYC . But the Evo X came with AYC
@@Fergussen that's what makes the 10 so great.
All of them are great! I love my 10 and will not get rid of it ever ❤️
I have no regrets buying and blowing money on my evo. I can’t say I’ve ever been in a bad mood driving mine. It’s just that kind of car .
To me, a great car is one that I love to drive and have fun any time I get in it. Having the best numbers on paper doesn't mean anything to me, all that matters is if it makes me happy. Luckily, I own such a car.
@@usefulidiot21 I definitely agree
Evo 4 is dead ass gorgeous
I've got a 2019 STI & owned a 2006 brand new EVO 9 way back in the day. The Evo is a better mod friendly car than the STI. But the STI is a better daily driver than the EVO.
I think they are equally modable just one costs more. Having a built sti, I know evo guys have some items that come stock I wish the sti had in stock form.
Man what camera are you guys using for the recording? It has amazing quality!
Evo X is my dream car, I just started getting i to cars and I’m already getting super excited to mod cars
2 Fast 2 Furius is Evo 7
Was about to say that! Glad someone else caught that
And that´s why evo 8 is my favorite evo
Evo 3 💥. Rally born light as hell no fear no air bags.
Loved this video my favourite evo is an evo 4 because I own one lol! They’re awesome cars
May seem weird as the 8 looks similar to the 7 and 9 but i say the best looking Evo's are the 8 and 4
I love the evo 3
My favorite Evo is the X sitting in my garage.
I agree with the VIII.
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
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.
I've got an Evo 7 but the Evo 9 is definitely the creme of the crop.
VIII GSR owner here. Love/hate relationship with it. If these things are touched, you better be careful because these t-cases love to grenade. You also better get used to resistance at high speeds. Not very reliable either. As painful as it sounds, they're better when left alone. Keep em stock
Awesome informative video, I personally like Evo 5 and Evo 8. However, they're all epic cars
Evo 8 because I have one 🤙
In stock form probably all of them, however in modified form... definitely all of them.
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.
Evo 6 TME . And the best looking.
I got the evo 6 but I’d love the 8/9
My favorite would probably be evo 2 or 3, but evo 4 and 9 takes the second place. And the evo from 2fast2furious is a evo 7
yasssssss, i thought you were gonna say the 9 but my evo 8 mr is tipping its hat to you , great vid
8 or 9 for me, hands down.
The Evo( gen 8 - 10) look so clean without the rear spoiler.
It’s the 7 for me all day!😎
