Post Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII Article

After a while of lurking here, I thought I'd come out and share this article I came across today.

Way to make someone feel welcome. Welcome aboard.

I take it that BC stands for Britich Columbia?

And that's exactly what I think.
Claud, sorry if you've already answered this elsewhere but have you gotten a chance to thoroughly drive a VII? If so, how do you think it stacked up to your TME?

What do you mean by "the 7 starts going a little earlier"?

Thanks

I noticed that too...it also felt big(overall size of the car) to me but then again it might be just the restyling of the interior. The spool up is probably quicker due the turbine change...Claud, yours comes with the titanium turbine right? Overall very nice..just felt too large for me.

Since the VII's interior is similar to ours...for such a small car it's pretty damn roomy imo. I don't exactly have another Evo to use as a basis of comparison, but I'd venture to guess they made much better use of space on the interior of the VII just from pics alone.
