TOUCHDOWN ldelaysionl!

yeah i was a little confused i was like "why is he calling them traders? i dont recall them trading in a mitsu or anything" hahaha

But if you would have said avoid the pic in the future then your actions would have justification, but you took it a step furthur and bashed subarus. Hmm, sounds to me like you shouldn't be bashing a subaru if this is a lancer forum. Isn't that the point you were trying to make, to stick to one's forum? Thought so...

On a related note, we're getting the 7, it's in magazines and was shown at car shows so unless they plan to change everything (highly unlikely) i'm pretty sure we're getting the 7. I beleive the 8 rumour started when people heard the 8 was coming out in Japan when the 7 came out here and combined commen sense with a little hope but on paper and everywhere i've read its 7. But i don't think people should be disapointed, it seems to be an excellant car.

shazam!

dude, this has been bothering me, what the hell is this thing?

it looks like a convertible cobra daytona, does some company make that as a kit or something or is it somebodys one-off? its cool whatever it is!

how did you guys get fooled? its a four spoke wheel for one thing, mitsubishi evo's have three spoke

hey if u guys planning to buy a evo7, i think u all should hold on for a while.... although i'm not sure wheather the evo 7.5 is coming out in usa... but in singapore, the evo 7.5 is about to release in 3rd quater 2002.... it comes with an all new 6th gear gear box....

Remember you opened your cake hole first when you started bashing on the post made azzmunch, i am not understanding you when you say we drive a popular car. There are far more lancer OZs than 2.5s. Y ? Price and something new!!, that soon will be extinct. Keep ur car and quit being a baby about the disscussion of other cars because it was only mentioned when u brought it up. Goofy!!

well its the car i hope to build after i get my degree, although ill be going for the coupe. it was 5 years in the making and engineering, and it costs about $15,000 but its worth it: you can get an IRS, and it comes with all but a few parts but those parts you can get off a SINGLE donor mustang or you can order all preformance parts for a mustang and use those. when you get done you'll have a car that preforms better than a ferrari for $30,000-40,000 usually depending on if you go "all out" or not. But what i plan to do is build one, sell it (they go "turn-key" for about $80,000 on ebay!!) and use that money and the experiance to build my second one even better and to keep. it will be a nice experiance in building and ill have an awesome car afterwards i cant wait. heres the link: www.factoryfive.com

they make the old cobras, the coupes, and then that convertable, which never really existed but they wanted to make a convertable of the coupe. you should check it out they're really nice cars. heres the one i want to build: http://www.factoryfive.com/table/ffr...coupepics.html

but i plan to drop a 528 hemi with a huge fuel injection stack on it i think ill have to modify the hood though to fit it in there. its gonna be fun

Ok, check it out. The Evo 7 will be coming Jan 2003 maybe a litlle bit earlier. The Evo 8 will be coming out in the beginning of 2004. It is a two door version. That is why the name changes. If you go to www.body-kit.com they are designing a new aftermarket kit for the Evo 8. The are Sri Lanka based company that designs body kits for rally teams. The Evo 8 should be releasing everywhere where evo's are sold.

cool wonder where they got there info.

two-door lancer = :jump:

i might consider buying it now. don't get me wrong i like wrx's and lancer's but i can't stand the 4-door thing, it makes it look to family-ish. i'd still buy them but 2 door is MUCH more appealing. anyone have a solid source on the 2door thing?

Guys, the lancer Evo VII is not going to be released in the US. Instead, the Lancer Evolution VIII will be released in spring of 2003. They cannot bring over the Evo VII due to 5 MPH bumper standards.The intercooler could not be placed in the front of the car as on the EVO VII. The EVO VIII will offer an intercooler placed so it wil meet 5 MPH standards. The Evo VIII looks pretty good with the wider fenders and new style wing. It will be higher priced at first due to the fact that it will be really popular. And, also, I thought that you can't put a down payment on a car that is not even coming to the States. If any of you guys can give me proof (like a mitsubishi notice or newsletter) showing the release date, I will not only be convinced, but I will probably getting that car. I will folow up with links to the EVO VIII release dates in a little while.

As I have said b4 and want more conformation on this 7 or 8 arrival, I see that the crash test quams and fmic tend to not halt the 7 and bringing the 8 to the states seems more reasonable. I really like and have been considering to "be a trader as said", I am after the ultimate AWD Force Fed Bad Ass Dirt Blazin' Rig out there without the sacrifice of total new engine mgmnt. So.... PaceGhost this is not a decision to trade off, but to better the odds against the current Subi flyin' around. I have had the 97 GST and it kicked but had limits and I tweaked it, and.......then killed it!. Then came the 2.5 redesign and now the WRX which the price is hiked up to make a ridiculous $450 plus note. Sell the car and bring your money to the table to be certain of delivery, because all dealers are after that!!!!!!
