Yep. I can't tell who gave me the info, BUT, it is someone that knows everything about the Evo (inside Mitsubishi). Here is a basic quote reference that:
". We will announce the US model at the LA
autoshow. The first units for here will ship from Japan toward the end of January."

No, there is not an ad for the Evo VIII in Motor Trend. There is just little snippet on pg. 98 (in the 2003 & 2004 Buyer's Guide section) saying "close to 250 HP"

250HP 
. Correct me if im wrong but up until now the evo (5,6,7) have always had 17psi of boost and made 276HP(everyone says its actually closer to 300 HP but the law keeps it at this.) So how much of this approx 50 HP loss is from exhaust? and how much is boost lowering?

Thats how a beast should like. I tell yah it no wonder that they kept the evo VII's a little more timid, so they can at least make the 8's gruntier looking, curvy, shy but beasty!!! all for it.

When the Evo 8 comes states side this Jan or Feb its gonna be a wild beast with no cars able to tame it. I'm having one held for me i asked for it in Black since Ever Since Legend of Speed Seeing that guy Sky driving his black Evo. But I can't wait to play with that 6 speed gear box and open that throttle all up and down the highways in NJ. And when a little audi, is300, or 3series pull up next to me i just can't wait to unleash the full potential of the car and show them the true beast the Evolution truly is its Time people respect mitsubishi and with the release of the evo i think they are gonna respect it and look at Mitsu in a whole different perspective.

No idea what psi that was at, but if it is anything like a DSM, BPU should cut a full 1 second of the 1/4 time!
Also, the mag talked about the WRX STi... that came with 320 bhp, 6sp, but no word on exactly when it will hit the US... possibly sometime after the EVO.
Subaru is probably going to play the "one-up-manship" game with Mitsu???
