If i could have just one of Adam's cars, and change absolutely nothing, it'd be this one. It is the ultimate expression of what the Evo is supposed to be and in many ways, the thrill of driving.
I’ve been following Adam since he’s gotten his 335i. But the second he got the evo v I’ve been drooling over them and they’re now one of my favorite cars and most definitely a dream car
You and adam need to convince cleetus to do FREEDOM FRIDAYS at the factory and have all of you there it would be amazing!! Much love to all of you, grew up and grew my love dor cars with your guys channels.
I imported a bone stock clean Evo V 6 years ago for $11K CAD and absolutely loved it. But I didn’t have it for long because the insurance was too high for RHD and due to my age. Absolutely regret selling it because its the best looking Evo and one of the best handling (if not the best) Now these things are going to over $25K 😔
The Evo III, IV, V & VI will always be the most special Evos because they were the most successful on the WRC giving Tommi Makinen his 4 drivers titles. The Evo V was the only Evo to give Mitsubishi the manufacturers title, but barely. Thanks to a Toyota breaking down within sight of the finish line at Wales Rally GB.
Finally, the Evo III getting some respect. It changed modern rallying from formerly a marathon style to sprint style racing with Tommi Makinen and Seppo Harjane winning the Safari Rally.
I was thinking the same thing. I believe they are EPA exempt after 21 years and after 25 they are DOT exempt. Evo 4 are now legal depending on build date and evo 5 will be here soon.
I literally ripped my evo 5 through the mountains today with a buddy 😂 I can’t say I’d have similar confidence to drive how I drive in the evo with any other car
The 5 is the best evo ever made. Light, Nice size, Raw as it comes. More aggressive looking than the 4 and not as max power looking as the 6 with the silly double layer spoilter, fishnet seats and bulbus ugly front bumper. The 5 is for sure the sweet. spot. It was actually the most successful model in the rally era too.
Still want to let tdib drive my 3000gt with a fully built na engine. 13:1 compression, 9000rpms with 272 cams. Just about ready to be put through final assembly and dropped in. So don't know how much horsepower its going to make. Pretty much the only engine for a 3000gt done like this. Oh and the car weighs about 2600lbs.
NO Such thing as Evo and STI war. Thats just an illusion for those immature fellas. Both cars are good in their own ways. I love my evo 8 some may say they love their Sti. Its just a preference.
7:06 - and the reliability of the 4G63 over the Subie motors.. let's' not forget that lol. And no, never owned either as I'm a VQ boy but the results over the years speak volumes about Subie unfortunately (when going for any form of power past stock).
I've only owned a stock NA 4g63 in my old Galant... It was my first car at eighteen, twelve years ago now I suppose. I could NOT kill that thing. I ran it with no air filter with the pipe of my DIY "Cold air intake" hanging down like a half a foot from the road, for the last 8 or 9 months I had the car lmfao. Burned oil like crazy, never changed it because of that... Make sure you top off the oil and the thing never complained, it started up every time. I did run it dry on more than one occasion though haha. I had a flowmaster 40 series off my buddies v6 4 runner that he wrecked in his field jumping it into deep water drunk hahah. It actually sounded great though. Finally wrecked the thing in the snow with my bald tires on the 17 (? I think) inch rims.. I forgot to mention the thing had a Baer front big brake kit when I got the car, I think the guy who had it before my uncle was planning on doing something to the ole 4g and making a faux Galant VR4. Fun for what it was, I had fun making it my own and the girls all thought they were in some kinda race car (I was so confused by that one, it looked nothing like one other than the big front brakes, painted red of course, showing through the Enkei wheels, and the four freaking inch tip coming out the back ).
Kind of off topic, but I literally cryed when the Mitsu Eclipse came back as an SUV. ( Meaning it sucks that EVOs are gone...for now ... till they turn that legend into, maybe, an E-SUV.) Only time will tell.
To say a 4g is better than an fj or any Subaru motor for that matter is an understatement. A 4g absolutely destroys an fj20 in every single aspect. Power output, drivability, raw power feeling, sound and reliability. In fact a 4g is one of the strongest if not the strongest cast iron i4 in the world. No your cute little boxer engine does not sound better than a cammed 4g on idle let alone screaming to 8500k+ rpm.
4:08 the Evo 8, 9, and 10 were only really raced in Group N Rally by privateers, they were never used in the World Championship. Plus, the Evo 7 WRC was, for lack of a better word, a disaster. Hence why the first 6 Evos have more of a reputation than the 7-10.
After watching Larry Chen's video its insane how gripped up and sorted this car is, watching adam rip it through the compound at the speeds he did is just scary.
My favorite part about this video is noticing all the little things evo 5s end up with, like the door material starting the bubble, the mesh grills in the front losing their paint, and trust me that turning radius is still hideous when it comes down to it 😂😂
😂 I was thinking the exact same thing, I was like i need to get my door trims sorted out asap my passenger one is basically half hanging off, and same with the grills all the paint chipped off from stones. I have a 6 and the base of the spoiler has starting rusting from the inside bracket, another common problem apparently. But i still love it!
I my self have white evo 5, and at the moment its in bits. Slowly working to rebuild it. It didnt blow up, i was supposed to upgrade the clutch and now its just in a million pieces, my parts list is basicly a bible. Anyways, its amazing how i can feel you driving my own car, it sounds the same, somehow i can even see how it feels trough your review. Gave me goosebumps.
@@MCMS331 there is an evo 9 rotting in a driveway in my town. Has been for at least 7 years. Depressing af every time I see it, but I know I couldn't afford to bring it back to life. Still tempted to go ring the doorbell tho. They are disappearing.
Its funny how cars developed for the same reason had such different personalities. Evos have strong motors and weak drivetrains. Stis have strong drivetrains and the motor is the weak link. Sti owner here saying there should be no war. Both are wonderful cars.
STI or Evo? i love both i have a 410 hp 2.5 STI 2012 and an Evo 6rs 2.3 stroker when its done 550hp both are verry good cars Subaru have more torque in low rpm and the sound is a dream 😍 the evo has more power at high rpm and you have a longer time full power. the handling is good at both cars i think the new STI with the dccd may a little bit better on road
Evo or STI?
Go.
Evo
you tell me you have driven both!
Evo for the power and looks. Sti for the sound.
Evo
Is that even a question? Well all know the Evo is the GOAT.
That put aside I still like Subarus.
Hats off to Adam for letting you drive all these cars! Big win.

0:17 All the Evo's were 4G63 other than the Evo X. Funny enough the engine was flipped 180° starting with the Evo IV
Apologies, I meant compared to say the Evo 3 which is more closely related to the 4G in the DSM’s.
As a DSM diehard I was pretty butthurt by that "first 4g63". I appreciate the correction🤣 awesome video man!

@@theninethrees8044 Ugly but I've heard they handle phenomenally, I've always wanted to drive one of those.
best you can do in this situations so you dont regret it later, drop insurance and park the car for some years
Hands down my favorite car that adam owns
Sent it on buy an Evo 5 after watching this video, haven't regretted it for a second since. Such a perfect car.
Such a good looking car.
TommyFYeah's evo is one of my favorite evo's in existence now

4:30. The Evo 4 just became legal. The 5 isn't legal yet. 5 and 6 are definitely my favorite though!
I was thinking the same thing. I believe they are EPA exempt after 21 years and after 25 they are DOT exempt. Evo 4 are now legal depending on build date and evo 5 will be here soon.
Love this! Looking to sell my '07 Sti next year to pick up an Evo X GSR. Love the Evo 5/6 too!! Thanks for the upload!
Did you?
Adam has the jdm car collection we all dream of
He is missing an upside down, cut in half "night kids" sticker on that wing.
Though Seiji Iwaki in Intial D drove a white Evo IV instead of a V.
I like that he still put an upside down cut in half “fyeah spec” sticker though
The Evo 5 was the most successful rally car out of all of the Evo's I beleive.
I literally ripped my evo 5 through the mountains today with a buddy 😂 I can’t say I’d have similar confidence to drive how I drive in the evo with any other car
Team Evo!
Damn such a badass Evo v build! So clean!
Evo V owner from Australia here. I like the look of these over the 6 and TME, but that is my personal opinion.
I always liked the TME better out of all the Evos. Although, the fog lights look better on the V.
The growth since the convertible mustang is amazing! Thank you again.
Adams V is a dream. Don't think mine will ever come close, but I certainly use his for inspiration!

@@adamshook6039 its also the first one of its kind.
EVO IV is where we sat up and paid attention in the UK. IV and V are my favourite for looks.
Last time Adam let someone drive one of his cars on a race track it set itself on fire.
ford problems
NO Such thing as Evo and STI war. Thats just an illusion for those immature fellas. Both cars are good in their own ways. I love my evo 8 some may say they love their Sti. Its just a preference.
You are correct.
Yup. I love my 06' wrx but I plan to have an Evo V or VI sitting right next to it
Adam once held or came really close to the firms track record in this car i can remember.

My dream car. Adam did it perfect. Great video.

That's a beautiful car. Great example of an Evo 5 🤌
He is all hyped about the chaser right now but he knows the evo is a fan favourite 🖤🖤🖤
3 & 5 are the best evo’s
I agree, the 3 is my favorite.
An yellow Evo 3, perfection.
That’s right 💪🏾
6 and 6.5 bro
Definitely my favorite car on his channel..
"we don't have evos anymore." Sadly we don't have sti's either anymore bro. Was a good time to grow up
Ahh the golden years of Mitsubishi!!
4G63! 🔥
my favorite car in Adams collection
After watching Larry Chen's video its insane how gripped up and sorted this car is, watching adam rip it through the compound at the speeds he did is just scary.
At last an evo video.
We grew up on all these 90's evo's in NZ all the VR4's. I really hope you find a VR4 Magna ralliart in the US
My favorite part about this video is noticing all the little things evo 5s end up with, like the door material starting the bubble, the mesh grills in the front losing their paint, and trust me that turning radius is still hideous when it comes down to it 😂😂
Just regular old evo things, they all have it… mine included😂

It was a dark, dark day when the Evo was cancelled.
I've always liked the Evo 7 just because it's the first one I saw in the states
YES! By far my favourite EVO!

The Evo V has alwsys been one of my favorites as it looks so mean
I think when it’s stiff it means you’re doing it right 👍😬
That could mean 2 things
You know, this is perhaps the only car TEs look good on. I'm not mad about them
I feel like it is a reoccurring theme with all Adam cars that he builds them to about as good as that platform can be.
Without overbuilding them (mostly, we won’t talk about “Z Roi-ded Out”
Evo is just the goat ❤️
The best car I have ever owned, the most fun car I have ever driven.
My second favorite evo after the 9
“Driven all the other evos”
Only the 8-10 lol
Very Unique Car, and I love that BOV! 👍🏾
i cant help but feel like a portion of all your lz vids should of had him driving them with you in the car
my favorite car adam has!
This the vid we been waiting for
Funny... Montana plates!!! 😉 Hehe, Evo 5 is my favorite. Awesome video as always man. ✌
Its funny how cars developed for the same reason had such different personalities. Evos have strong motors and weak drivetrains. Stis have strong drivetrains and the motor is the weak link. Sti owner here saying there should be no war. Both are wonderful cars.
you should do split screen side by side camera angles. like the exhaust cam and the inside cam at the same time.!
One of the first evos powered by the 4G63? All evos but the 10 is. And the Galant VR-4 before that. You should try an Evo 3!
If you love these EVO'S you should check out some VR4 Galants
Team Evo!
All Evo's fear the U turn!
Sick car , I love my 600hp Evo 5 . 😍
Evo gang 🤘
Eiji Kamiya from Wangan Midnight would be proud.
I’ve enjoyed these 3rd party reviews of adams cars
Awesome Adam lz

U should go reviews on ur own cars too it’ll be dope video too love the videos sheesh
One of the best builds for a evo ive seen

David you needs to make another trip to Canada and drive some of the imports that America has to wait another 10 years to import 😁
Evo >>> STI
Dope car !
Initial D is vibein in this one
Best car he owns
Turning radius is alright. How ever. On an EVO 9 MR FQ400. Its none existent 😂
I love my 5 but debating on selling it since I'm getting a evo 9 wagon. I hope I don't regret it
You will
So In a RHD manual is first gear up and to the left the same as our American manuals or is it backwards? I’ve always wondered this
Its the same bro
@Dc5_jay dude thank you for that
