I went to my dealer today and dropped off my $500 deposit. I am number 7 on the list, which kind of sux, cause if they only get 6 cars or less...I'm fucked.

The guy gave me copies of some good acticles, about 4 different ones. He is in love with the car. So much that he had articles in a file cabinet about every Evo up to the VII. He even had a small plastic model on his desk of the EvoVI. He even told me his daughter drives the Lancer.

The following is from a copy of the announcement from Mitsubishi that the dealer gave me:

"Mitsubishi Motors Announces Lancer Evolution Will Arrive in U.S. Dealer Showrooms in January 2003.

Mitsubishi's engineers pulled out all the stops on the Lancer Evolution, building on the sedan's robustly designed unibody and taking the "bionic man" approach to the reinvention of a stronger, faster and smarter performance car. This unrivalled compact, super-sedan speaks volumes to Mitsubishi's technological prowess and World Rally Championship winning heritage. Expect the Lancer Evolution sedan we'll see in U.S. showrooms to rumble with a 2.0 liter, turbocharged, inline-four, developing more than 250 rabid horses, gravity-defying four-wheel-drive handeling, eye-ball displacing Brembo brakes and a sub-30K sticker price."

Al least it's got more HP than the WRX, and with a few bolt-on mods, it could see 275HP.

Are there any sites to tune a evo back up to stats? or more

Not that I know of, but when it comes here, I'm sure there will be a few bolt-on products.

I have seen a pic of an Evo VII engine really worked. It looked like it had a new maybe bigger turbo w/thicker chrome pipe, and an intake and a header, it also had a really thick aftermarket strut tower bar.
