Quoted from a friend who works there from another website
We've been flat out working on installing our new Dyno Dynamics Rolling Road at RC Developments since Xmas, and this weekend is the first time we've been able to get some cars strapped down for a power run.
We were fortunate enough to be lent a brand new Mitsubishi Evo X to see how it performed...

Wheel Horsepower & Flywheel Torque

Boost & AFR
Very dissapointing, you can see the X is mapped to throw in so much fuel after 3,000 rpm, and it really falls on its face. The boost is very high with a 1.7bar overswing, but then also the turbo really runs out of puff very quickly.
However, from a tuning point of view, we will be able to extract a lot more performance from this car on a basic remap and stage 1 package
Lookswise the Evo X is not very nice at all in my opinion.

From some angles it looks like a Laguna and a Volvo S60 had an ugly love child.

Yeah, I don't like the new Mondeo, the Porsche 911 is much better.

Its probably a base model evo, not a high spec one. 200 at the wheels isnt all that bad!

abide the law and never go above 70mph.
200bhp is so much more than you need.

not at all, the figure at the fly cannot be estimated by a calculation.
