We might not get the Evo VII, people...

[lancerz]

Well speak son..

whys it named GT-A?
why the choice of INVECS-II transmission?



I honestly think pushing out an EVO VIII is pointless unless sales figures are low.. If there going to push a Evo VIII with minor changes, whats the Point? Just make a Evo 7.5.


I dont really care, give me the good old' Evo VI.

[LuderChris]

At this point, I don't care whether you believe me or not. We'll just have to see.

Hi all...

I`m a fellow carmaniac (especially evomaniac) from Athens Greece.
I`ve just registered as a new member and i hope that i`ll add something
to your forum conversations...I`m currently driving a Peugeot 106 16v rallye. The car wears a full 4-throttle body kit ,with Kent 272 degrees cams, new reprogrammable Haltec emu, full Magnex exhaust kit, and many other engine mods that i cant post because of my poor english.
Other than that, the suspension is totally replaced by a Bilstein GroupN with Proflex springs (4cm lowering, 300 libs) and a bigger (24) torsion bar...I also upgraded the differential to LSD ( Limited Slip Differential )...The car now, produces about 195hp at shaft (122hp was from factory) at 8.700rpm.
My other mods are:

Speedline Rally-7 16s alloys.
Yokohama A539 tyres.
Momo streetracer bucket seats.
Momo competition wheel.
Short shift gear changer.
Twin Morette headlambs.
Tinted windows.
Tinted rear clusters.
Rear cluster eyebrows.
106 maxi, rear spoiler.
modified bonnet, impreza WRC look.

I think thats all...

I`m currently thinking of upgrade the looks of the car, by putting a 106 Maxi full bodykit...

Beside my love for the little 106, i have a BIG love for the mitsubishi EVO (especially from iv and beyond)...I`ve always dreamed of being (someday) the Lucky owner of an Evo. I really really liked the Evo Vi and i was a little disapointed when i first saw the Evo Vii. The Vii hasnt the GREAT looks of the awesome Vi, but they say that its far better from the Vi ,suspension,differential,gearbox,performance and driving setup wise. I dont know if this is for real cause i havent drived it yet. I`ve drived the V and Vi thought (the Vi was a Tommi Makkinen edition), and one thing i can say only. This car can swallow ANY curve, for breakfast...
Simply awesome. Driving experience from outer space. Gimme an Evo and a Lamborghini diablo sv, and i would choose the Evo without any second thoughts...As for the Evo Viii you`re talking about, i havent heard anything yet either. But i think that its a little weird for Mitsubishi to replace the current Vii (which is ``just`` released) with the Viii, within 2003`. I`ll bet my money that we wont see another Evo before late 2004...

Sorry people for the huge post...
I`ll keep in touch...

I heard that the EVO VII is scheduled to make its debut in the 4th quarter of 2002. I also heard that its true output will be somwhere around 300-hp...!! Has anyone else heard anything about the specs??

[fortyoz2eric]

nope. hey littlejohn...your car sounds awesome, do ya have any pictures of it?

[Thefreak]

Passing smog was a pain. Hp will be around 250-260 but its de-tuned meaning you can boost it back up to 280-290 without spending a dime. As far as VIII I don't know if its true but it can be. Mitsubishi cranks them out every other year sometimes and then sometimes 2 Evo's in 2 succesive years. Sales numbers have nothing to do with it. Sometimes they make major improvements and then call it VIII vs VII because of the new rally year. Anyhow an EVO is coming with a MSRP of under $30k.... anybody interested? Email me if you live in California next year and I will get you first on my list. Maybe one of you will be interested in my demo :bandit:

[LittleJohn]

Comparing to YOUR MONSTER fortyoz2eric, my car is not so awesome.. Its not sooo fast (0-60 6,1 sec, max speed 235kmph or 140mph) but its really an amateur racing car. Perfect for curvy roads...

Driving it here on a race track, during a track day with a GREEK CARMANIACS club...At that time, the car was fully modified engine wise. But not yet, finished from exterior side...You can see thought the real black tinted windows...


Some new photos coming soon...

[LittleJohn]

Are all Usa Evo models 250hp? Why`s that? Here in Greece, Mitsubishi imports Evo vii Rs, 280hp, Evo vii Rs2 280hp, Evo vii extreme 356hp, Evo vii Warrender 400_stealth 390hp, and Gsr1,Gsr2 models...There`s also available the older Evo Vi Tommi Makkinen edition 330hp...

[violinandy]

we don't know yet, they haven't gotten here.

[Thefreak]

The first step is bringing them onto U.S. soil. The rest is all gravy. Like I said the engines are de-tuned. Meaning simple no cost mods should bump hp back up to 280-290 range. As far as other models down the pipeline you will have to ask the actual factory, I just sell the things.

[Focal_M3]

yea, this is my first post. i came here because i heard via the march2002 issue of motor trend that we're getting the evoVII in 4th q. this year. where do i sign! i've been a long time evo lover and this was some of the biggest news i'd ever received. someone please tell me its true... :ylsuper

[ImportFanatics.com]

Yeah I heard the same thing FOCAL....

I picked up the lastest copy of Motor Trend and when I saw the article on the EVO VII coming to the US I immediatley bought the mag and read the rest of the article.....Hopefully its all true!!
