Turning Radius on Evo X?

[theycallmebruce]

A question for the new EVO X owners. What is the turning radius like? did Mitsu finally give us an evo that can make u-turns?

it cant get any worse...

[toku-one]

its a mitsubishi. having had a mitsu of some sort since 96 (gst, evo8, evox), and my friend having a 91 3000gt, its been the same through out for roughly 17 years.

I can confirm that 1! O0 Had a 95 eclipse / 03 eclipse / 06... evo same shit!

GODAMMIT!!!

I would say it's about 1ft better than Evo 8 I also own.

[cezber23]

my 3g eclipse had a really bad turnnig radius. but my evo 8 its ok.

HAHA... i HATE making U-Turns anywhere in the 8, lol. I fail all the time, even if it is a BIG ass road, still almost hit the curb, lOl!

it is not a u-turn anymore, it is a k turn, in traffic

You need to do this to properly make a uturn

^^^^^^^^^^Oh hells yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tokyo Drifto homes!

at this point, i'm used to just making 3 rights and a left. but i hate it when i need to parallel park in a tight spot. maybe if we all write a letter to mitsu, they will fix this nonsense by evo XI.

one day they gave me a rental galant and that shit handle U-turns like a charm ^-^

Me too, except it was a rental 2003 regular lancer. that thing could bust u-turns like a champ.

sure they can fix it... by making evo 2wd

My old car the large size Tbird from the mid 1990's did much better u-turns than the Evo, but really I can live without u-turns as long as everything is this good.

LoL.. Allot of you guys don't understand why our cars have such a large turning radius huh?

What hapens is the Evo is AWD which as you all know means it has axles upfront. And since the car has axles upfront, when you turn the car the joints at the end of the axles can only be turned so much before the axles bind and lock up and cant turn anymore.

And so the mystery of why the Evo has had, currently has, and most likely always will have a large turning radius (being a transaxle based AWD layout) has been solved.Â* O0

its a Mitsubishi. having had a mitsu of some sort since 96 (gst, evo8, evox), and my friend having a 91 3000gt, its been the same through out for roughly 17 years.

Same rule applies for a front wheel drive car.

Mitsubishi's aren't cursed or anything, lol!

Yeah all RWD cars have a good turning radius in relation to they're size since the car has no moving drivetrain in the front suspension. The front wheels can be turned to the max as long as they don't hit anything, and aren't 90* to the rear wheels lol, and nothing will bind.

Thats is why your T-Bird had a much better turning radius. O0
