nope it's not US legal. It has a wisconsin state title, but if you are ever pulled over, the federal government could confiscate the car and crush it. Gray Market cars shouldn't be street driven.

I'd hate to have that happen if I had a Skyline or an S14...

Assuming it was totally legal to drive in the streets with no doubts, I would trade but would want some money back on my end.

I'd rather take an older evo, like the 1, 2 or 3.

Cool car if you're in to collectables, but my VIII has 6 additional years of "evolution" behind it.

I saw the top speed comparison between the Evo VI and VIII and the lady that drove it was a hair faster in the VI. It handled better and accelerated faster than the VIII. May have been due to weight/stiffer suspension.

Anyone else remember that video?

Damm hard choice. Imagine that car with 550whp..... You would be able to crush alot of cars out there. Power to weight ratio ... again tough choice.
