These aftermarket tuned models will most likely be Evo company project cars. For sure you'll see the K&N Evo project car there. I don't know who else will bring out Evos, but rest assured that there will be tons there. When I went to SEMA last year, they had a bunch of boosted 350Zs (I liked the GReddy Z!), Toyota MR Spyders, and Tiburons all over the Las Vegas Convention Center.

I dunno if it's gonna be the RS model or something different. The press release says it's a worldwide introduction and the RS has already been shown elsewhere.

All signs point to Mitsubishi having Ralliart performance parts on display there. With this in mind maybe this "latest edition" is a Ralliart Evo or even possibly an HKS Evo, since Mitsu has a good relationship with HKS. Just a few ideas...

I do, unless two people I've talked to lied to me. It's possible but not likely. Why don't I go and find out for you . I'm going there monday but I don't know if i'll make it to the show on the same day. Plus my late registeration

Rumor has it that our front diff is defective, which i feel a front LSD from that new car will replace nicely .

Did you get press credentials?

Subaru will also have a few things there.
...Subaru will display a variety of production-based vehicles tuned to exacting specifications. A wide range of SPT (Subaru Performance Tuning) and STi (Subaru Technica International) parts and accessories will also be on display, and we may have a few surprises as well!
