Wanted: Evo VIII for Car and Driver Magazine Feature

Hey guys,

Anybody have an Evo VIII they want to show off to a bunch of magazine people for a day? We’re looking for an Evo VIII to include in an upcoming story. We want a clean, relatively stock car. High mileage is fine as long as the car is still in good mechanical condition. You’ll need to bring the car to Michigan in the coming weeks but, in exchange for making you come here, we’ll provide track time, lunch, and—of course—coverage of you and your car in the magazine. Normal wear and tear on the car will not be covered.

I’ll check back in coming days for responses, or you can e-mail me through this profile.

Thanks,

Jared Gall

If that's your only reservation, 40k miles is not a problem.

By "stock," I mean mods should be limited to bolt-ons. Stock internals, stock turbo, stock drivetrain...
