Nice! Tons of information!

It's all coming out now.

 

Dude I'm gonna drive from Ft Lauderdale to you... This better not be B/S or I'll go seriously postal... What do I need to order? I'm lookin at putting $20,000.00 down.... Seriously....

 

LoL. Love the disclaimers... "stricktly confidential until 1/03/03" and "do not disclose to third parties".

Make a mirror, because this might get pulled...

 

Hmmm...Says nothing about ACD but the gauges pic shows the settings

 

Here is the direct link from that site: http://www.kendallmitsubishi.com/en_...scPage_3.chtml

Is that gauge pic from either the JDM or evo 7?

 

So They'll get 20 Evolutions

 

I love the color names
"Blue By You"
"Tarmac Black"

SCORE! We're getting A046s! These tires supremely kick butt. Hopefully Yoko will bring them over in other sizes, too

 

But it DOES say viscous-coupled center differential so that pretty much rules out ACD.

 

On a side-note, it also mentions nothing about airbags under safety features, though I assume those HAVE to be in there.

 

Yes, it does. But, for some strange reason I don't have much of a trust in that page. Especially when you see bunch of those unofficial and strictly confidential all over it. Also, if they wanted those things to show up nicely and they trust them, they would present them in a bit nicer way to, instead of barely readable the way they are as all the other pages...

Mr. AWD

 

guys...notice they got rid of those altezzas...good thing!!!

 

I'm sure you've all gone to this link already, but if that console pic really is from the VIII (and not from the VII which I really do think it is) then you should check out http://www.bmwm5.com/vbulletin/showt...threadid=25873
and

I think 's whole keeping us in the dark may reveal a secret. I know you've all seen both I but I thought I would cross reference it since the rumors it deals with are the same. I don't think anyone can say whether ACD is on or not yet. Also if anybody else noticed, the page hadn't been updated since mid november....

Don't get your hopes up. I have them stock on my Evo, they don't supremely kick butt. In fact, they are just average tires, more towards on the good side. They are good for day to day driving but that's about it.

 

I'm pulling the stock tires off shortly after getting my Evo VIII and replacing them with a harder compound. Yokohama Parada Spec 2's have some very nice grip, I'm goin with those.
