Hi there...
I'm driving the new Mitsubishi Lancer...and couple of questions after I browse through this column...hope those fellow lancer fans out there can help me..
1) What is the difference btw SOHC and DOHC? I know one is single overhead cam the other is double overhead cam...but how significant is it? how much more powerful is DOHC to SOHC?
2) I keep seeing people say Mitsubishi Lancer CS3 <- the CS3..it's a code or something right? where did it come from? and if so...the new Lancer now..what code is it?
3) Is the new Lancer designed together with DaimlerChrysler, think I read somewhere in this forum..but is it true?
hi Joey...it is true that it is co-designed by DaimlerChrysler but DC sold the share leow......i was the one who posted one la.....
anyway...it is a good buy now lor.......i am a artistic person la...and until today the more i look at the design of Mit Lancer, the more i like it......the front looks cool....and stealth......like a silent fighter plane.........with Mit Lancer EVO spoiler, it resembles a F22 Raptor or Tomcat........
i always like to make sharp U-turn as the handling is super stable n precise.......
i like the way it switches lanes ...not dangerous at all....precise and decisive......
SOHC it is...and i must admit it is a little sluggish.....until i installed Z-stab, the accelerator response is faster now...almost immediate
