Mechanically, I believe Euro Lan Evo 8 is 99% similar to JDM Lan Evo 8 (with Super AYC and ACD)... If so, any comparison made to the slightly stripped USDM 8 is wasted gas don't you think?

Dyno testing also indicates that the EVO VIII is significantly underrated which puts it well over our US Lancer EVO.

A comparison would confirm this. Bring it on.

FYI USDM is not designated as an 8 or VIII. MMNA has chosen to to designate the US car as the Lancer Evolution.

never offered any previous models here so I guess that MMNA did not feel compelled to enumerate the model version. This is in spite of the fact that window sticker, owners manual, and floor mats all say EVO VIII. This has been discussed in other threads on this forum and verified through

and MMNA.
