Better to answer with what it will be equipped with:
yes it will have the AWD with 50/50 split diff
yesit will have the brembo brakes
yes it will have AYC
yes it will have a new advanced ABS system
yes it will include Ricarro seats
and HID headlights
and thats enough- would you call that a GSR?

sho nuff...but you know there are going to be a gang of diffs, turbo upgrades, intercoolers, body kits, roll cages, strut bars, tires, wings, pistons, valve springs, throttle bodies, shift kits, guages, ecu's, pulley's, coilovers, sway bars, carbon fiber dash kits, and maybe even a sunroof available when it gets here.

Mr Mitsu,
The GTA comes with HID headlights, the GSR does not. That is not good news. I would expect that that if the car comes with AYC it will come with an ACD as well. I assume they are both closely integerated into the same ECU. Some one please correct me if I am wrong.
The main difference between the GTA and GSR is the transmission.
The GSR is a 5 sp manual
The GTA is a 5 sp auto with a smaller turbo, 225's instead of 235's, softer suspension, no hood vents.
So what I really should have asked was...Can you confirm that the US will get a manual transmission?

There more differences to between the GTA and the GSR I listed in another thread before. GSR is the top spec so I don't think the GTA would have more good stuff the GTA has apart from the transmission.
Just on the top off my head, only dealer options I know the GSR may add which there ain't many to add in Japan GSR Spec is the sunroof, double DIN space, SatNav Sys...errr that's about it I think have to check the brochure.
I reckon with all the secret surrounding the Evo if and when it goes to US, it probably won't be the GSR spec but close. Clearly your emission laws won't allow the the GSR engine in and your fuel is the other problem. But regardless you will still all agree that its an Evo even if its a US version, nothing would come close its package and bang for bucks. It wouldn't live up to the Evo name if they gave you guys a poor package, so rest assure it will still be a great car!

Yes Turbo 442- there is a 5-speed (wish it was 6), but I dare not confirm if an automatic is even available. And I love
HID lights!
Evo DAN- as for AYC question- according to an article I researched last night:autozine.kyul.net/html/Mitsubishi2.htm
notice 50:50 --WHEW! This should be the car we dream for!

So what is the advantage of active differential ? firstly, using multi-plate clutch instead of viscous liquid speeds up response by 3 times. Secondly, the torque split between front and rear axle can be varied many times during cornering to maximize grip and steering response. Normally the torque split is 50:50. When entering a corner, ACD will tend to distribute equal amount of torque to both axle by locking up the clutches in order to maximize grip and induce a bit understeer - both of them are vital to stabilize the car. In mid-corner, ACD will tend to disengage the clutches thus allow more speed difference between front and rear wheels, which is vital to cornering agility. In the exit phase ACD will lock up again to equalize pulling force on all wheels, hence maximize traction to pull the car out of corner.

Living in the US is not as bad as some non US residents believe.
The US MKIV Supra has bigger turbos than the Japanese model.
280 hp vs 320 hp
The Japanese 300Z TT has restrictions in the exhaust to limit hp over the US model. The US model has a secondary cat though.
The 3000 VR4 makes 320 hp, more than the Japanese model.
If you guys want to see how the ABS, ACD and AYC work Mitsu has a very discriptive PDF file available.

hello folks =D
ok i just here to reply one of the many reason why the lancer is at its steep price : ok we hav the eclipse GT price 24,000-29000 ok now next year we hav the eclipse GTS coming out next year with a New Front and added variable induction Mi-Vec Technology (kinda like honda's v-tec) which will run for 26,000 - 27,000 (non convertible) now if the lancer is made at a price under 30,000 the eclipse will kinda become obsolete i just thought id throw that out there guys also check out a magazine called :EVO its british but it has tha europe evo7 in it it has a sweet article. look for it at your barnes and noble or any other major bookstore.
