I dunno guys, this looks like an evo 8 with a body kit to me, maybe even just some factory suped evo8... I dont see the real styling differences that would make it different

I think that it's fucking sexy, and I love it. I don't like the Evo 8 tails but, I think those are awesome.

I'm glad that deleted that center thing above the grill.

To the Chevelle guy....good luck finding a car brand new, that will do the things an Evo does for the money that you pay.

Yes I know, you could go buy a Mustang GT for probably cheaper and go faster in a straight line but it will not handle or brake like an Evolution.

First off thats why I said, IMO. I just hate the back of that car, it looks like it got rear ended by a semi. It is a good performing car, I just don't like the reliablity on them, and Mitsubishi's service sucks from what I hear. Clutch goes out a 4k miles and they won't replace it under warranty. I like the STI much more. I'd rather get a used Z06 than any of them though.

I don't see how it's all that different from the current Evo. Whatever... I'll be looking for an Evo 8 in another six or seven years, maybe, but I'd never buy one new from Mitsubastards.

The Sti tranny is pretty damn awesome.. alot of guys running 500+ though them without sweat.



They are fine for stock power. Put 400+ and you will break it. How much power did you have in yours.

67Chevelle,

I know exactly what you mean about Mitsu. I've heard nothing but terrible things about that company, and the way they do business. I like the STi too but the STi just doesn't handle the way an Evo does.

I agree with you about the ZO6.
