What? an Evo without an massive wing on the rear end? what is this heresy??

[@oldfashionedwrx3574]

the fact that it is only 1.54 second difference with a massive power:weight difference, both cars configured for track is impressive make the track a bit wet & more twisty favours the evo, more straights favours the boss. so you'd pick what you want I find the evolution quite impressive and the boss 302 is pretty cool fun car by the looks. cool video :)

[@MERGATROYDER]

So, you're telling me, two seconds behind with 150 less horsepower? Yeah, lets toss a better intake and exhaust on that Evo and still have more money in the bank with easily a win on that track.

[@fatboy19831]

+Levi Dunn If you tune it the brakes and turbos will heat up faster. The fastest lap will get closer. Every lap after that the Boss will pull away. The two cars are fairly close in price. At least when new. The Boss is worth much more than the EVO now.

[@kssouf]

+fatboy19831 It's not as easy as throwing an intake and an exhaust but if you get the right pads/rotor setup and leave the stock turbo and change some bits and pieces like the intake, hard piping and better intercooler a good tune and so on and so forth, the Evo will be faster every lap without any heating issues without a doubt.

[@fatboy19831]

Elie Kassouf I am not saying it is impossible...I have never ....ever seen an EVO that could last even 5 hot laps. I have seen V6 Camaros run all day. Same for 500 + hp Mustangs. Anything you can do to an EVO you can do MORE reliably with a Mustang. Look at formula drift they have 850 to 1000 hp Mustangs that can go the whole season on one engine. No Japanese car can do that. The big weak spot on the Mustangs is the brakes. Other than that they are very good high hp runners.

Christian Ortiz 50% is not x2. its 291 x 1.5=437

[@alkoyyy]

Anton V that's right if you say that the mustang has 50% more hp than the mitsubishi, but thats not what the guy in the video said. he said that the evo had 50% less hp than the mustang, so the starting point is the 444 hp of the mustang 444 - 50%of444 = 444-222=222 which is a lot less than the evo actually has. btw.: not hating against the video, or anybody else, just wanted to clear that up

[@jeep661c]

Oh sorry thats right 50% of the 444hp is 222 and the evo still has about 70hp more then that and 70 hp is alot to get . A and tunner and c.a.i is 30 hp .headers is like 15-20 hp and mufflers like 5 hp so after all that still only at 60 hp

[@danieldesjardins4074]

3 laps, each way under a second for a combined time of 1.54 seconds. The $38,000 evo is like a second and a half behind $42,000 mustang. for $4,000 you can gain way more than a second and half in aftermarket upgrades.

Anyways the mustang should be faster look at the huge difference in power, it's just embarrassing the mustang is 1.5 second faster and these guys are proud of it. Not gonna go into modified cars vs stock cars but if the evo had the power the mustang did and the mustang had the power the evo did, the time difference would be HUGE and the mustang cost over 4k more that's alot of money in difference.

I like both of these cars, but I wouldn't say it's exactly a fair comparison. The Boss is basically a high-performance version of the mustang. There are plenty of EVO versions overseas that put out almost as much power as the Boss. The takeaway is: A high-performance Mustang is only slightly faster than a factory delivered Evo.

[@Tropicsca]

They purposely chose the mustang 302 boss because none of the regular mustangs could beat an evo. The mitsubishi evo MR isnt even their top model, the fq400 is. Which could smoke the boss 302. And probably the shelby 500 too. Seeming as the fq400 only lost by seconds to a nissan GTR that had 600 hp.

[@baigadil]

what "purposely"????, look i am not a big fan of american muscle, love them, they are fun, but end of the day not my genre i would say. having said that isn't the whole point of comparison begin at a price point? didnt he said boss take away was 42K, and MR was still 38K. so thats a justified compare point within 5k range

[@nickmotsarsky4382]

First of all, losing by "seconds" is an eternity. Second, the evo is lighter than the gtr. Third, gtr has 545hp unless it's a Nismo. Evo is too ugly and too fat for its size.

[@AugustFourSeven]

It looks like they chose the 302 because it's basically the same price. A GT is 1/2 to 1/3 the price of that Evo. How would that comparison make any sense?

[@JMLueckeA7X]

The fq400, which was a highly limited model that cost 82 thousand US dollars and wasn't even available in the US. You could buy a Z28, the ultimate track muscle car as of yet, which would not only beat the fq, but would save you money.

[@buckorooster]

Nick Motsarsky Wow the Evo is heavy. Shame on Mitsubishi for not keeping the Evos at as lean 2600-2800lbs.

Driven both of these on long trips... Evo is a better track weapon but the Mustang is a more comfortable cruiser, plus the V8 sounds phenomenal

[@ItsFreezeh]

Can anyone tell me the difference between an evo mr or an evo gsr??

[@SloansDroneZone]

Keep in mind it took a 444 hp V8 to just barely beat out Mitsubishi's 4-cylinder turbo. Twice the cylinders, twice the horsepower, but just a second faster on a 1:20 course? That's a stock Evo too. Let's see how this race goes with a properly tuned Evo.

[@05gtdriver]

But it took the EVO AWD and DCT to allow it to corner with any semblance of handling ability. If the EVO was just FWD and turned a lap 1.54 seconds slower than the Boss, I'd concede an EVO victory, but each car needs it's advantages to make the most of what it's capable of in stock form. An AWD Boss 302 would probably run 4+ seconds faster than the stock EVO and a 444hp EVO would do the same to a stock RWD Boss 302, so it's a fair comparison stock vs stock IMO......

[@lukethekanefan]

this years anniversary edition Mitsubishi evo brand new from show room 440 bhp now that would kick ass

[@BoxeoChingon]

05gtdriver well said.... most people dont know shit about cars.. people think that just because the evo has less power and can almost do the same as a boss is better. . guess what in a hot summer day turbos suck. evos are to make you feel twice the driver than you really are. mustang are for true drivers.

[@05gtdriver]

***** Gosh, such an extended explanation for something you're so convinced about. 1st off, reading comprehension is duly necessary to understand my post. Going by your EXTREMELY long winded post, so the EVO could take out a Boss 302 without being what it is?? I never said the EVO was modified in any way, share or form. If you could not sound like an irate parent and slowly reread my post, there's just a simple statement about each car's methods are what allow them to do the numbers they do. No fantasy cars(again, reading comprehension) were seriously considered, just making a theoretical example. No one is challenging your manhood, no one is saying your preferences are unworthy. Your extremely long post is disturbing.......

All the butthurt and ignorance on here is hilarious. How could anybody who really knows anything about cars be questioning this outcome? Were you not paying attention when Ford stated that their goal for the Boss 302 was to beat the E92 M3 around Laguna Seca? Did you not notice when it actually happened, and all the outrage from the BMW fanboys? This is a serious car. 0-60 in 4.0 seconds, 1/4 mile in 12.3 seconds, 0.96G on the skidpad. No disrespect to the Evo, but it was out of it's league here. I'd be interested to see an FQ400 do a lap with a professional driver, and then have the same guy do it with the Boss 302. I bet it would be damn close. The edge might go to the FQ400 there. The days of American pony/muscle cars sucking around corners are over. They have been over for a few years.

[@Ointless]

Very enjoyable and well done comparison. Personally, these cars are far enough apart that I consider them apples and oranges but I'm partial to awd and dual clutch trannys so give a little nod towards the Mitsu for that. I'm excited about the 2015 Mustangs with the addition of IRS across the board and it will be interesting to see how they test out. I think it was the power deficit that hurt the EVO more than the other variable here and it would be nice to see Mitsubishi updated with more horsepower in the future. 350 horses for the EVO would be just about right out of the box and would really put this car more on my radar.

I'm very excited about the rs happening, and it would be even better if they offered it in all wheel drive. I'm not a very big fan of the MINI myself but my girlfriend is and it's a huge step above the last car she drove so i'm fine with it. Personally I drive an EVO 8. My last sports car before this was a modified 2011 mustang GT, but when I drove the EVO I knew it would destroy the mustang anywhere but a drag strip so I just had to have it.

***** Of course it is. I don't think that people even realize that basically all Muscle cars have the sole purpose of looking cool and being more fun to drive than almost any other car.

You are correct. David Pratte put down both official lap times.

[@jdmcommute]

Evo's are de tuned from the factory. 9 out of 10 Evo owners ditch the POS exhaust system and move up to a 3" exhaust and a ECU flash tune. Most after the tune will make 350-400 whp depending on the quality of the parts. You can do the same to a Boss 302 but the gains wont be that much. Depending on the track design (i:e more corners less straights) the stage 1 tuned Evo will win by a small margin but in stock form its close. Im not a big fan of Evo's but I like them. Im a subaru guy. But unfortunately the mustang will come and go in a year but the value of Evo's and STi's will stay.

2015 Ford Mustang In terms of performance, the Mustang GT will still offer the 5.0-liter V8, and the article reads that the 2015 GT with the Performance package will actually be faster on the track than the Boss 302. Some other interesting tidbits about the new Mustang are the standard push-button starter, the availability of adaptive cruise control, an independent rear suspension, a 200-pound weight reduction (that at least somewhat will be afforded by using aluminum front fenders) and a wheelbase that measures the same 107.1 inches as the current design.

[@muhammadnaufalhaniif1550]

Man that evo is so nice...i like that

[@PradigyMusicman]

Until you drive a Manual V8 sports car with a nice exhaust you just won't get why someone would want it over a WRX STI or EVO. It just sounds and feels like awesomeness

[@danielOconahap]

evo is a rally car. put that mustang on the rally course then

[@jmm09015]

haha yea i no. The evo comes stock rally ready. That mustang would legit fall apart on a dirt course. This video makes no sense. Comparing a rally built racer to a 440 hp muscle car is like racing a dirtbike against a cbr 1000 on asphalt

[@Crazyjazy2012]

and then lets see who wins (evo of course) :D

[@leviathan0232]

look at it like this though, the mustang is better in a straight line and the evo is better off road, so your saying put the stang on a rally course? ok put that evo on a quarter mile as well. neither of these cars are best suited for track racing. they are both out of their element in this video.

[@jmm09015]

the point im trying to make is that this comparison is pointless. dumb fucking video.

[@mcmadson]

The Evo owner is butt hurt.

[@arbyconnor4849]

Regardless of all the stats and 'well if you mod it' arguments, one thing I will say about the Evo's is that even a regular driver can push the car and put down times close-ish to the times published using professional drivers, whereas alot of these big v8 rwd cars require more skill to match those times. This is why you will see mustang gts, camaro ss, etc running 14+ second quarter mile times at the strip.

[@mbenzsl2000]

The new Boss (2012) is by far the best stang in a LONG time.

[@Logicsupremacy]

Are you kidding me? EVO all day everyday

[@quintfl]

8>4

[@random8780]

+Gary W-l-o-t I4+turbo>NA V8

[@quintfl]

Rorru Ropelius nah

[@BigBossIvan]

That's all according to the "plan". In 2013 the Mustang broke it by adding excellent handling to a muscle car... And when something doesn't go according to plan, well, everyone loses their minds...

[@daveprobert2168]

I'm assuming that they r using low quality fuel for this comparo? I dunno, just doesnt seem right that the Mustang is quicker around a track.

[@234toxicmist]

This is a track car. A real track car. It makes twice as much power and weighs about the same as the Evo. Ford specifically tuned the car for track use

[@mohamad-abdo]

Matt Colegrove nope the car is not made for tracks something is really wrong with this comparison even in need for speed the evo out performs the boss 302 in every aspect .. the 302's acceleration, top speed and control are all close to zero

[@jaredchong4070]

mohamd khaled Dude stop comparing things in games , its not real but.That much amount of weight that car couldnt beat a lighter oponent like a GT86 or 370z

[@Rangerfull3]

mohamd khaled LMAO. Need for speed. Truly shows that most import fans are children, keep playing your videogames

[@mohamad-abdo]

Brad Miller first of all the comment is several months old now and second i'm not even a gamer.. however car games nowadays try to make driving as realistic as possible i know this doesn't apply on NFS but in NFS the car specs are realistic for example the Bugatti is the fastest car in the world so it has the highest top speed in the game .. the evo is oneof the best handling cars so it is the most controllable car in the game .

[@andrewk4085]

nice run for both cars i like stangs and evos used to have a paxton s/c on my 91 gt fun car to drive. that evo hung tough considering it was down 140hp. really speaks of its handling both great cars! evo was 38 mustang was 41 spend the difference on mods in the evo and look out! then you would have a race! doesnt take much to bump the evo up significantly.

[@sydliz1126]

I have the Boss 302 laguna Seca but Like the EVO too. Only a couple hundred Boss's were made so people don't know how great they are.

[@iFacTzZ]

Evo isn't made for track, it's a rally car. Unfair comparison!

[@kalvinruiz54]

mitsubishi evo is the beast

[@TakinArrowsToTheKnee]

Summary: The EVO's AWD system really is amazing! It just makes this car a superb tool for dancing around the track. The second you get on the power, it just rockets you on the other side with tons of grip. The uhh.. The Boss 302 also comes with adjustable dampers. 4:55

[@grant6730]

That's in the 1/4mile. I was talking about a mile since you said about the Evo not being able to reach 200mph.

[@thee90kid]

Compares EVO to Porsche 911 lol wtf

[@wmhsdoor]

Ha Body roll like a boss! Cheap like a boss! Solid rear axle like a Boss! Leaf springs like a boss!

[@O2TG]

They didnt open up the front cooling holes on the 302...

[@bilalahmed7678]

Yes, and long term ownership? Which is better? I think you know.

[@bcs528]

Pretty embarrassing that with 153 extra horses the Mustang is only 1 second quicker. Impressive for the Evo.

[@airsoft197]

awd and dual clutch, vs rwd and manual. Nothing impressive about it. Obviously if you think Horsepower is the only thing that makes cars have faster track times you are uneducated about cars. It's made for the track, it has brembos, & eibach springs as well. Its an even match.

[@MustangDarkHorse]

The Boss Mustang beats the "EVO" by 10 seconds at Virginia International Raceway's 4.1 mile Road Course, and that's per lap.

[@FordGTmustang2000]

no whats embarrassing is the evo owner has to go around saying he got beat by a rwd mustang in its own game... go the the 1/4 track and the evo gets beats worse

[@strifu808]

some kids.

[@mcoop6620]

From the side, the Evo looks like a woman's tennis shoe.

[@mcoop6620]

But on that note, it's still a great car.

[@gonspartan1544]

+M Coop but musteng look like box shose..

[@mcoop6620]

GON SPARTAN Haha yeah I guess I can see that too now that you mention it.

[@henrykincaid6821]

I thought evos had large rear wings or is that just the euro spec models

[@bmgcomp]

isn't an insult to Mustang 5.0 v8 that you compare it with Evo 2.0 turbo... really?

[@numinous4789]

There's more than one way to skin a cat. The Mustang and the Evo take two totally different approaches toward the same goal: going fast. While the Mustang had faster track times in this comparison, I'd totally take the Evo. Its approach to making power is preferable to me. Also, you can make a ton more power very easily/cheaply with an Evo, something that tends to be much more true for turbo cars than N/A ones. In fact, if you just took the difference in price between the two cars in this comparison (which is $4,305) and dropped it into the Evo to make it the same cost as the Mustang, the Evo would've annihilated that Boss in every way... Seriously...

[@Kevinb1821]

Zack Richmond a 2014 mustang gt with the track pack will still beat that evo and cost less than the evo

[@Kevinb1821]

Kevinb1821 www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/vehicledetails.xhtml?zip=33543&endYear=2014&modelCode1=MUST&showcaseOwnerId=459509&startYear=2014&makeCode1=FORD&searchRadius=200&showcaseListingId=396970149&mmt=%5BFORD%5BMUST%5BMUST%257CGT%5D%5D%5B%5D%5D&listingId=398012253&Log=0 try 8 grand less

[@numinous4789]

Kevinb1821 Perhaps. But maybe not. I'd still take the Evo.

[@DCGarage]

+Zack Richmond Buy a base Mustang GT with the track pack and bolt on a supercharger or turbo for 5 grand. You can make 650 whp reliably with the 5.0, while the Evo will not be as reliable and being an Evo X, does not have the cheap power potential of the earlier 4G63 powered cars.

[@numinous4789]

MAEguy That's a good option, I suppose. Bye, bye warranty though. But I guess that's a moot point with most mods. For me, the truth is that Mustangs feel like boats. I much prefer the high-tech import feel associated with many of the Japanese cars. I, for instance, have a Mazdaspeed 3 and I love its driving dynamics. The proof really is in the pudding, though, and the fact is that Speeds are very competitive in auto-x.

[@mykelboy7764]

Haha.. Why is that ur comparing a tuner car to a muscle car?..

[@SH0TTY2Y0B0DY]

the black front grill makes the evo look exotic too me

[@Kacicka999]

wheres spoiler from evo !?

[@Built2Fast]

LOL.. I'd pick the EVO.. But, who gets an EVO so they can keep it at stock performance anyway? Rice over Beef in my opinion!

[@strifu808]

i'd eat both for dinner, sounds tasty. but yeah, i agree XD

[@leeeeeeeeeee012]

Sometimes I Envy America, their car is just fucking cheap. Only $43k and you get Mustang? Here in SEA you will only get the very basic Corolla. I will be fucking rich if I live in America :(

[@hartsickdisciple]

You can get a nicely-equipped Mustang GT with over 420hp for under $35k.

[@billshoe22191]

Love the 302. So impressed that a manual, RWD car can beat an awd, dct equipped Evo

[@Thisbook2022]

Well done, well said.

[@MrSlofreak]

evo with 291hp vs a 444hp mustang and the difference is less than 2 sec? I say tune up that evo to 444hp and try that agean :P

[@boro92]

To be fair, Autoguide went to Cayuga. It's a track that notoriously suits smaller, low power cars. Local time attacks have s2ks and miatas winning the events if it gives you an idea of just how tight the circuit is. It's really more of a motorcycle track than a car track. The time difference at a real circuit (say, Mosport) would be much larger.

[@leskraszczynski3044]

Because stock vs modded totally makes sense here...

[@boro92]

Leszek K. FWIW the evo is much less of a true drivers car. If one wants to get out there and enjoy the rewarding thrill of actually manipulating the chassis (rather than have a car make all the correctiosn for you), then the Boss is your car (for this comparison). It's sharper, more direct on corner entry and you can't deny that v8 sound!!!

[@mrcyberfix]

I didn't know that these people are so poor in math. it is been said that Mitsubishi Lancer Evo is a lab for Drivers.

[@djmay9859]

lol the mustang cant run rings around the evo even though it does

[@akbarbukhari]

I like the option to still go off road with awd.

[@AEMJLA]

I always thought the Boss 302's came stock with a rear seat delete?

[@rickysanowara8254]

Look.. Americans can't take corners.. And they talk about "handling"

[@MidniteClimax]

whitesnake and a mullet? I thought he was driving a mustang, not a camaro!

[@Dogboy1960]

There is a difference? Hey, in the 1980s Camaros, Mustangs and Corvettes were EVERYWHERE and crazy popular with the mullet crowd. If not so much a rap on these cars as it is the lack of excitement about other cars at the time.

[@MidniteClimax]

Except the guys today that drive camaros still look like they're out of the 80's lol

[@Dogboy1960]

David Slaymaker Maybe. Last guy I saw that really looked the part was actually in a Corvette......but that's another story. Next year changes everything for the Mustang but as it stands today, right now, with it's "live" axl. the Mustang is the car most connected to it's 1980s heritage.

[@SFBay69]

Dogboy1960 not really..the 2014 mustang is still a badass looking car and is fast as shit for the money

[@scottandroni365]

I love my BOSS 302, and I love having a little fun through friendly competition. I just hate when some of these guys take it way too seriously. 😆

[@avixs1543]

I know aye, I have mad respect for both of these cars, I love me some American muscle and some JDM speed demons

[@chase6745]

Do people even know about the 302? It's way better than a EVO. Just because it's a mustang doesn't mean it's bad, it's the coolest mustang made.

[@sanadaHIRO]

this such bs comparison they should compare it with a stage 3 turbo evo now let see whos faster

[@shayanmalik7152]

Billy Leung Slap a turbo on the Boss then let's see who's faster? Or maybe a fast shifting auto in the Boss? Or how about lets fabricate an AWD drivetrain for Boss? Stop coming up with excuses, It can go both ways.

[@caveman3251]

Billy Leung lol it need a turbo to win

[@freddydakine5806]

Mustang may have muscle but it has no brains whatsoever. A 444 of wasted horsepower. Leave the brains to the Japanese...

[@leskraszczynski3044]

Prove it on the blacktop :)

[@TheOzarkWizard]

did anyone forget the fact that the mustang's brakes went out after 3 laps at laguna seca?

[@fatboy19831]

+Brock388 The EVO cant make it 3 laps at Laguna. Tires, turbo and brakes would be done.

[@EliteGT08]

Good Job Guys.

[@2wheels4wheels]

Like another video that shows z06 faster than Nissan gtr....WAKE UP AMERICANS,,,haha

[@MrBF3alltheway]

You should research more on the corvette and the gtr on the track and come back and look at that sentence.

[@ndk5907]

What if the mitsubishi was v8 ? Lol

[@guyproulx1660]

well now that wouldn't be fair now would it lol, i love it when american muscle car fanboys argue about mustangs and camaros, one says camaro is junk, the other says mustangs is junk, i'm guessing they're all junk lol, am i right?

[@johnfrancisespiritu533]

it's faster than r35 now cause gtr has v6

[@philipjohn1338]

Evo is supercharged, so the comparison was fair enough.

[@ndk5907]

EVO is turbocharged dumbass

[@ryancrow2876]

hope everywhere you ever drive in your lifetime is a paved sunny road then

[@LT1Nico]

I think your thinking of the cobra R mustangs. I'm pretty sure they came with a lot of weight reductions from the factory. like no AC, rear seats and all that stuff.

[@iRoach94]

I hope this video makes all you Evo lovers realize how much Mitsubishi is off their game. I probably shouldn't even say off their game because they won't ever be cool (fast) again it's obvious. While American cars have made huge engine advancements, imports such as Subaru and Mitsubishi haven't done a good thing since their first models hit the market in 2003 (the ones we fell in love with so fast).

[@TheHavoc013]

I will say you just one thing... imagine Evo with 5.0 l engine. That's all!

[@iRoach94]

well write to Mitsubishi and tell them about this car we would all buy.

[@quintonvongpanya5669]

I love the Evo, but I would have to agree with you on this. Mitsubishi and Subaru seem to be playing it a tad bit safe these past few years and I have to hand it to Ford for the improvements they've made to the Mustang. I would still personally pick an Evo over a Mustang, because I'm biased, but I wouldn't mind letting that V8 roar!

[@iRoach94]

you could spend 5k and it still wouldn't beat the stang, let that sink in :(

[@quintonvongpanya5669]

I can care less about beating anyone. I just love the Evo, plan and simple. I don't care about who is faster than who lol.

[@averynicefella]

Such a shame for Mustang! 2.5 times bigger engine and only 80lb-ft more torque... Weird comparison... Won't be surprised if you'll do a comparison between a bicycle and Mustang and Mustang will win... lol

[@DanielBlaney]

You should probably read up on how a turbocharger works.

[@matthewd6306]

Strap a turbo on the boss 302 engine, and it will put down over 600hp. Displacement is not everything. Its how much air you can pump into those cylinders.

[@303creesh]

have fun paying 60 grand for a factory boosted mustang. my evo x at 35 grand would kill if you gave me 15 Grand to play with. hell even 10 grand

[@matthewd6306]

M Mccreesh Or throw a 3.4l Whipple on my cobra and I'll be pushing 650+ to the wheels. Your ricer wouldn't have a chance.

[@jeep661c]

ahhaha wow guess you don't know cars at all

[@ryannelson5010]

This is an impressive street test. What about dirt and snow? rally car vs street car on just street? I think we're missing the whole picture

[@hitman53184]

Do the same review in the rain, with street tires, and see how things go. I love mustangs but I would take the EVO because I have a son and it would make for a much safer family car.
