Evo VIII Thread
EVO 8, EVO 8, EVO 8.
What more really needs to be said? The USDM Specs are out as of Jan 3rd. Td05 twin scroll turbo pushing out 19psi from the factory on 8.8:1 internals. Hollow cams, carbon fiber wing, fmic, 2 IC sprayers, enkei 17" wheels, recaro seats, momo steering wheel, 52/48 weight distribution, strut bars, heat vent in hood, hollow cams. 14" 4 piston brembo brakes up front, 12" 2 piston ones in the rear (thats right for all of you who actually just paid attention to what I just said). Same old proven 4g63 platform meaning tons of aftermarket support will very quickly arrive, as well as the HUGE potential of swappable parts to DSM's (move over honda ). So let's all join in with me...

I believe the quoted price by mitsu was 28500 accroding to motor trend magazine (the "official" price apparently). But I would expect there to be a slightly increased price due to the rarity of it in the beginning and the already overwhelming demand. We'll just have to see, either way I seriously wouldnt ever expect it to be more than 35, 30-32 would be more around my guess.

New WRX STi is going to own the Evo.

I love the Evo, you guys love the STi, two very similar cars and I give the STi the same respect as the Evo. I feel the Evo will be much more of a modifiers car than the STi will be and therefore have an advantage, but there are obviously some weaknesses of the drivetrain that mitsu should have left on from the JDM version.
I guess to some it up, I just couldnt always have to turn my head sideways to work on my engine .
PS-once again Brian will be left in back in his NA. Poor engineering my ass
