Is it going to have the plutonium driveshaft and the carbon fiber windshield also?

I can't believe how bad the rumor mill is on this car.

the carbon fiber windshield has been confirmed, as well as the fact that it will be fueled by common items from your garbage, Back to the Future II style...

There was a rolling road article with an Evo 6 TME (air intake and exhaust) putting out 340hp. Although some other Evo6 cars with the same mods gave out only 280-300hp.

It also depends on the gas(petrol) octane that you use.
With a higher octane, the turbo increases boost automatically and gives more power.

Not so sure about that. Usually, the way it works in Japanese cars is the ECU retards timing if it detects knock. If no knock is detected, everything runs as normal. Max boost is limited by the factory at a certain pressure, so I don't think the ECU allows boost to creep until knock is detected.
