Did they give a HP range for the EVO's that would be under 20K?

****, shower and shave. Most logical order. Facial hair's softest after a shower.

Thanks for the info. I have to say though, no matter how much good news I hear I don't think we'll have anything close to the Euro spec Evo VII as far as overall performance. Call me a skeptic. I don't trust MMA, or any car company for that matter, with these kinds of things.

I agree, it's by far the best rendering that I have seen so far, and I'm not talking about those ugly photocrop jobs.

I think embedded logos look better when they're smaller, and the way the middle section sweeps up just looks plain nasty imho. A grill similar to the VII would be my choice if I had any say in the design. The car's shape isn't organic enough (like a 2g or something) to warrant a shape like that.

I like it, maybe if it was a tad bit smaller of an opening it would look better. The front may not be so great but I am digging the black housing headlights, it would look damn good with a carbon fiber hood.

Talking AWESOME THREAD

Great Reporting thnx TheFreak. You have given me much more hope then i have had about the evo lately.
I love the headlights on that picture, now all it needs is a better grill or no grill, some huge powerfull fog lamps and the return of the third opening on the hood.

PS its ****, shower, shave just like HobieKopek said

Thank you very much TheFreak!


As for the 0 - 60 < 5sec, is gonna have to do something about the problematic clutch in the Evo 7 before that's gonna happen.

Took a 5 minute ride to the Bellagio
11:15 met some nice girls
11:16 got girls names and set up rendevouz time
11:30 finally got through the ***** of a line that they called check in
11:45 got my Mitsubishi package
12:00 got my stuff sent to my room
12:01 stiffed the bellboy for a tip
I work at the Bellagio and we remember faces, especially people who stiff. Word gets around fast in the resort about cheap guests. I don't care if it's 1 star or a 5 star resort, you better watch your back when you stiff people. It's better that you don't know what happens to you. Hope you have a strong stomach.

Anyways the convention in the Bellagio in Las Vegas was not centered around the EVO VIII, but for the new Mitsubishi SUV Outlander. They had this truck displayed in the main banquet hall. I did not see an EVO though so I can't give much info there. I tried to listen on to some conversations but I was too busy running around for these guys. Overall they are OK tippers except for a few.
