The dealer says: "I heard we were geting a 6"..
"6!! What?"
"Yea, with 342hp and a way stiffer suspension." He was entierly serious.
"Really." I say in disbelief
"And we probably wont get one for another 8 months."
"Wow."

Hahahahahahahahahha

I heard we'd be getting an Evo 1 with a 3.2l stroker motor, uprated turbo, and 500bhp at the wheels !!!!!! And it'll do 25-30 mpg too !!!

That has to be the funniest "rumor" I've ever heard. Stupid dealers.......

Maybe when he said "getting a 6", he meant 6-speed tranny. You didn't say he said we're getting the Evo VI.

No he ment EVO VI, I asked him for info about the EVO VII and he said were getting the VI. Anywho hes just a dumass. I can understand where you would get that confused as i didnt clairify well enough. Its all good

If you ask me, I think getting any Evo would be good.

Thumbs up

If it looks like that yellow one from the magazine picture I will be stoked. It looks like the black pic except better looking headlights.Very sweet IMO.

I've got very bad feelings that is going to retard the performance for our market.. I don't really care about how it looks, but first and foremost how it PERFORMS!
: Retain the ~280hp etc.. specs and you'll get my $$$. But if you guys dumb it down for us 'mericans than it's not truly an EVO and won't be treated as such. Not by me anyway...

I've been mass-mailing dealers within like 100miles from me and the fleet manager of one of them says they'll be getting the Evo in 6 weeks! haha Just thought i'd toss this into the rumor pot.

that's kinda funny

ohh and BTW...don't be worried about the power. If that's brought down a bit, I won't be pissed. It's more the AYC, ACD, Brembos, etc. that I'm concerned with...those are the things that make the Evo better than others...fer me anyways

I agree. The brembo brakes,recaro seats, and hid headlight are important to me as well as the ayc,acd..As long as the hp is not too much under whats expected then I will not be to concerned. Add a good aftermarket exhaust and you get back most of the lost power.
