Lancer Evo VIII

Saw and raced a black Evo yesterday.

It was very sweet, large front mount. Not sure what size the exhaust was, but it was probly 2 1/2, stock :D

And it ate the WRX I was in pretty easly. WRX has Exhaust, downpipe, headers, TurboXs stage 2 computer, 16 lbs of boost. And an exhaust leak

nice...

i've seen 2 in 2 days here in cleveland...

black one on the freeway, and a silver one on the way to work...

it was like slow motion, he looked at me, i looked at him, slow past each other, than it went back into real speed and we kept flying...

they look sooo nice...
i didn't like em from pics, and thought they were really bland...

seeing it in the flesh changed that one...

I probably will never see one in my crappy town, but I was on the interstate and passed a car-carrier (whatever you call it) full of Mitsubishis. I only saw one yellow Evo, and it was really nice.

I haven't seen any VIII's yet and won't for a while- quite a few VI's and VII's over here though :D

I've been itching to see one, and I finally did this morning on New Park Avenue in West Hartford on my drive to work. I was excited when I got to see it take a left hand turn over rough pavement, and saw the tiny suspension "bounces" from the broken ashaplt, which tells me that it does indeed have a nice, tight suspension (I assume it was stock). I really need to get to a dealer and test drive one of those bad boys - I am pumped for this car!!! :D

We don't see many Mitsubishis in Zanes, Ohio.:(

Is the Evo for sale in Canada yet or just US? I haven't seen any yet.

i'm pretty sure they, as well as the wrx, were offered in canada first...

Just looked at Mitsubishi Canada's website and it's no where to be found, so I'm assuming no.

hmm...
i know they're available there... dunno.
