Have they said officially how many EVO VIIIs are coming to America? If they are not stuck on a boat some where.

Do you guys think the troubles with the ports that it would delay any car release dates?

 

[Danman1116]

well since the workers went back to work today I don't see any delay

 

[CRXtc]

the evo VIII will be at dealers in december

 

[RaX]

Current rumors suggest that there will be 4000 Evo VIIIs available in the first year.

 

[accord 4 me]

i still want proof...rumors are just that...rumors

 

[ludacris326]

Can't wait to sell the LUde and buy one!

BTW-Are they going to come stock with the frontmount?

 

[CRXtc]

yes they are coming stock with the FMIC, and 4000 is about the right number....however they will be detuned to 230ps........

 

[accord 4 me]

i thought they would have more horsepower..and subaru was bringing the sti over because the regular wrx cant keep up with the evo

btw...where u pulling all this info from?

 

[CRXtc]

from mitsubishi......if you want an evo just get a 7 imported i kno a place that makes them smog legal (kinda like motorex).......

 

[accord 4 me]

yea..i'm aware of places like that...

but 230 doesn't sound right...maybe the sti isn't coming?

i was thinking more like 250-260..230 seems way low

 

[97_civic_vtec]

i went and talked to the dealer and he said most of the mitsubishi dealers will have maybe 1-3 Evo's on each lot, depending on the size of the dealership

Mitsubishi has already said that the US Evo will have more than 250 HP. The 4000 number comes from a Wall Street Journal article.

 

[CRXtc]

still is detuned and you can get an EVO 7 imported and street legal for about the same price that the 8 will cost

 

[accord 4 me]

yea...250+ is more what i was expecting...wont get the 276 it has in japan (i think) ah well...something is better then nothing

i am thinking yoru going to get the 260HP. thats my guess.

 

[mrmyz]

i remember reading that we are just getting evo 7's the first year

 

[vtecmaniac]

so what's your favorite?

EVo VII or EVO VIII? not much HP detuned difference anyways?

 

[CRXtc]

EVO 8 and it is about 30 or more detuned HP

 

[LudeAction]

i think they are all sold

 

[mrmyz]
