US spec EVO VII sighted last night in So Cal (have pic)

[tonan]

I think it's very possible. I can tell the pic is in California (look at the plate of the car behind the lancer) and I know that it's coming to the states next year (from Mit. CEO interview), but I seriously doubt that is a bona fide US Evo 7. Most likely, it's a body kit on a Lancer 2002, they look pretty life-like in pictures on www.body-kits.com (saw an earlier thread with this in it).

This is what I know from Bob Ceo who is the Southeast Mistsubishi rep that I met during the Tampa Auto Show several weeks ago (around Oct). The Evo 7 is coming possibly as early as December 2001 (I guess not now that we are in Dec) or most likely in the spring. They moved the intro date up because of sales pressure from Subaru.

Also, I have the only license plate in Florida with "EVO VII" Got it 2 weeks ago. :smoker2:

I wanna know the prce ASAP, I have heard from 21,000 all the way up to 36,000. The only way i can get one is if it is under 30,000. Also are they bringing over the GSR and RS or just the GSR?

As far as the info points, just the GSR. Fits americans better and actually includes a stereo. The RS doesnt have speakers but has speaker ports in the doors and on the back board.

Hey!
Who are you trying to kid??? That looks like the EVO VII, has the vody of the EVO VII. Theres no way in hell that that's a US Lancer. To the untrained eye..........

Dang Reveen...are you going to put neon lights and a wing on your Celica too???? RRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIICCCCCCCCCEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!

As for the Neon's i dont think so...well, not as yet...
the wing/Spoiler is a must, i was lookin for the supra spoiler but i have to get the car first.

I had one last year this time, but i was driving like an @$$ and crashed it on christmas eve:cry:

Everyone says i should get a new one, but i know the insurance would be a killer, plus i dont like the new body styles compared to the 94's.
The '94 has more....um...curves, yeah, that's it.

[rEVOlution]

Hey man...thats cool.

I don't like it when people rice out cars is all. I think it'd be better instead of getting that supra spoiler and alteeza lights you should get a turbo or shocks or something...something that will help your performance.

Well, im gonna see what is available.

But i think im going to let off on the performance for a while, a friend of mine just totalled a Volvo S70 tonight, so everyone is on that wait-till-we-forget-about-it mood.

Soooo....
RICE!?!?!?!?!?

Just be a resposible driver!! don't pull stupid shit like racing on wet roads or during heavy traffic.

Fast & furious is not the god of movies.

[Yogi_B]

Fast and the Furious was a bloody stupid movie, I hate big stickers on cars.
And as for the choice between RS and GSR.
Don't get the RS unless it's gonna be for race use as it doesn't come with AC, recaro's, momo steering wheel, power windows, stereo and mag wheels.

[diegoaccord]

the evo 3,5,and 6 look the best. and the 6 is faster than the 7.

[Syrinx]

Ok, someone pls call me stupid, cos... These evo VII's have been around for fecken ages in NZ.
Is it just that you guys from the US have to wait for the US versions or something?
