As some of you may know, until a few months ago I work for White Bear Mitsubishi. Because they're one of the top 5 Mitsu dealers in the country, they regularly get some inside info from the big wigs.

A friend of mine was asking me on FB if I knew anything about the Special Action Model. Well, I had gotten more information than most people about 6 months ago when I still worked there because I was looking at trading my 2012 in for one, or a 2014 with leather/roof and wanted to know if this SAM was worth waiting for.

At the time I was told "You would have to do everything you've already done to your current one again (built motor, ef3, e85)." I wasn't given any more specifics other that and that the FQ440 would have cost Mitsu an arm and a leg to get US emissions speced.

My friend Neil who still works at WB chimed in. Apparently he's now been given a little more about the specifics.

Too good to be true, I think.

 

Haha true.. it is crazy they got rid of the seats in the last year now all of a sudden unsafe. Ya the U.S. never gets the good stuff!

Isn't those spec's what the Japanese Market is getting, not sure what were getting over here, but if it isn't over 300hp I'd be highly disappointed.

 

315-325 should be fine, like really. But was expecting more, since USD seems to be only LHD market that MIGHT get any upgraded Evo versions.
