What would you like to see on EVO 8?

Evo 7 US spec's exterior probably won't change from Japanese or European models. Maybe in early or mod 2004 the US version will turn into Evo 8. What parts would you like to see so you can retro-fit them on Evo7?

I personally would want to see some black-housing headlights:

6 speed. Tranny is most expensive mod!! Everything else including power can be improved with a relatively small amount of money!!

One thing that I'd like for to improve is the damn turning radius on the Evo. It's just as bad as the eclipse. Or just as bad as a damn truck!

Yeah that too!! I've heard some Evo owners on these boards say that you can't even make a simple U-turn. You have to use the handbrake to help you around.

NAV system? I don't know....my wife is crazy for those. She's always going to places without any directions on getting there.

What do I want EVO 8 to come with...how about express delivery? Get here ASAP. Is that too much to ask?

The big fog lights would be great in making the Evo VIII more aggressive looking. The strong 6-speed and and improved turning radius needs to be put on the Evo VIII. There is one feature that would be great, but don't know if you guys think that it would be a great idea. You know how on ACD there is a snow, gravel, and tarmac mode. How about they make a little race mode or speed mode of some sort? Like they could have 75% to the rear and 25% to the front when its in this mode.

Great though Dark Evo, but if they are going to do that than they might as well just make it electronic and allow you to input any balence you want from full or none to the rear. That would be tight

Not that I'm really that sure of how possible, or expensive a system like that is; but it sure would please my rear wheel, BMW driving friends.

I don't want them to give us the freedom of any balance because that would be expensive. I wouldn't mind it though. Well anyway, maybe at that mode and that would be cheaper than just giving all the freedom on the range of power.
