I am currently in Los Angeles for Christmas vacation. I lived in LA for about 24 years but I currently work in Kuala Lumpur. So I am leaving LA on Jan 9th I was born in Taiwan and only visit Taipei to see my parents. I was in Taiwan about 4 months ago but didnt see any Evolutions. Only saw some WRX. My friend in Taipei told me that Subarus only have the 225hp version? I believe its the one without the 280hp. If they have the EVo VII in Taipei for 50,000 then thats not bad. As far as I am concerned I dont know if they have the 280hp Evo Vii in Taiwan. In Malaysia they are going for about US$65,000 for a RHD EVO VII GSR. I rather have the Skyline GTR34 in Malaysia but its too expensive! 2000 model with 15,000km going for about US$100k :eek

However, I don't know if they can run leagally on the road.

BTW, I'll visit LA this week

the evo vii is undeniably better performance wise, and that is all that matters, now if they would only make a zero fighter version of that, and i would goo my pants.

IMO, best EVOs are III-V.

[Raceghost]

5 is the best, not having driven one myself, but the specs say it is.
7 is the latest and greatest,
So lets combine the two, give the evo 7 the looks of the evo 5 and then, well it will be...well a frankin evo.

I think it is an excellent car, yet I much prefer the 5 or 6 better.

Hey its better than buying a honda:monkeypis

The EVO V is the fatest of them all.. Look at it, its fat.

The EVO VI is slim... and ooohhh yeah...

The EVO VII is nice, but not my style.. its not "MONSTEROUS" enough.

I owned both an EVO VI TM edition and an VII. to be honest, the first few days when I get the VII, I still think that VI is better, after a while of test, the feeling had changed. The VII has much more blast over the top end. The only draw back is that top gear is taller, which creates a short "flat spot" at fast track condition. However, overall I still like the VII, it is by far more solid than the VI. From appearance stand point, I guess this is about getting use to, once you get use to the VII, you think that every bit and pieces on the VI looks weird. Had anyone notice that the rear wheel arc of the VI are jointed together with Hot melt stick.

Love the name, hehe. Anyway, it had a "Trackday Car of The Year" comparison, and the Evo VII RS Sprint was in it. They got a 0-60 of only 4.4 seconds, and that model still only has the standard '276hp.'

I dunno how fast the Evo VI is, but that's pretty good for the VII considering it weighs a bit more.

Hey lancerz!!

That clip you have on your sitwe with the Evo IV and the Supra where did you that

Do you know where that race took place ??

[MrSPeed]

I just wanted to let you all know they are not making the evo 7 in america. they are making the evo 8. i know this because i work at Mitsubishi Motors.

peace, dsm's kick f**** ass:bandit:

Well performance wise the evoVII is better in my opinion, even though its detuned it doesn't take much up the hp on it. Driving wise,performance wise its the car i would prefer. Although my favorite lancer based on looks is the Tommi Makinin Evo6.5, that car looks damn good with its fenders bumpers and red paint.

[BBD]

Guys I dont think the EVO VII is ANY GOOD I changed my mind I thought it was a good car I preffer the VI over this car ,,,

Did anyone see where it stands in the WRC rallys ??? like before last or something ,, Leading the charts are Citreon, Pegot and Subaru.. the Mitsubishi EVO VII is not doing so well unlike its old brothers.

[VQuick]

Didn't Tommi Makkinen switch teams?
