Is it the evo that is being released over here? In England they are releasing a larger turboed 300whp evo if it is not already out. It will not be released in the u.s. The one being released in the states is not as powerful but cost another 3-4 grand more.

The um ends of the turbo are bigger, so it can flow more, and it also has lighter wheels, lighter roof, and a retuned suspenion to compensate for the weight-reduction.

CD did a 13.08 in a stock EVO 8. No MR no RS, so it had to be faster, sounds about right

Haven't you heard, Mitsubishi's don't come with warranty's, and if they do they just take it from you at your first oil change so it is good for 3/3,000.
