California Evolutions

I ran a search and didn't find an answer, maybe someone can help me out.

I am looking at possibly buying an Evo in SoCal (fly down, drive back up) and save myself a few grand.

The one thing holding me back is I'm not sure how California Evos are different. I know on some cars that cars sold in California are detuned to meet CA emission standards (vs. the Federal emission standards).

In other words, is there any difference between a CA Evo and a FED Evo?

There is nothing Different between My Evo and an Evo sold Elsewhere. Dont believe the rumors that are spread by stupid people. Hahaha...South Coast Mitsu in Costa Mesa is Having a Sale right Now. Its in SoCal. Look them up on the Forums. 25k for an RS, 28k for a GSR 31k for GSR with SSL, 33k for an MR. <------Estimated numbers....I bought my IX from them at 31k.

there's more car competition here. more demand = cheaper prices, less demand = higher prices. basic econ lol. also more competition for you business = cheaper prices. i would show graphs but ehh, you get the picture =)
