Your pm is blocked. Probably why no one has helped Or maybe we know the JDM version of the evo is better than ours?

I can shrink the file but probably unreadable b/c it'll be smaller.

If you're not having luck elsewhere... you can email the articles to me (evo at jedinite dot com) ... I can host it on http://evo.jedinite.com

Until you find a place to post, can you tell us what the article said? Did they like it alot? And are you sure it's not the JDM Evo 8? Evo's editors are very honest so if it is a review of the U.S. Evo, please tell us their 0-60 number and if they feel the U.S car has any drawbacks. Thanks

I will try to do something when I get home tonight (EST) yes they liked it a lot ....the pictures they have are of the US spec but they apparently writing about the JSpec or both....great pics of US spec power sliding! 0-60 4.8 they say that the US evo has 50kg more in the nose and the tail....just because of those beams...man I hope you can just remove those easily

Not to be a pest but is that 0-60 of 4.8 for the US car or the JSpec car?

I think they are for the jspec although the article is quite confusing.. as I said it has pictures of the US evo and a report about what seems to be all of the markets, because they mentioned the beams.........they where praising the evo against the STI saying that subaru raised the bar with the STI and has successfully risen to the challenge, they seem to like the five speed better than the six speed and coment that they feel it was not really needed it was just introduced to be seemingly on par with subaru......you are not pestering me, I appologise for the delayed response I have trouble getting on line at work....

Which issue of EVO is this? I get the mag periodically, and have an older one with an STi vs EVOVII article. I have a fairly recent issue (Feb/03)with an R32 artivle, but no EVO.
