In the Februaruy 2005 issue of Sport Compact Car is an article saying that the evo nine pics floating around here are definately going to be the Evo nine. Although that rear bumper still seems unclear to me because as people have mentioned it seems that the US plates wouldn't fit on it. Anyway, they say it will have all of the MR goodies as standard, and the engine will probably come with 310-315 horsepower.

me thinks, still no center differential. boooo.

AYC is what we need.

 

i just hope all model gets the 6 speed i dont really care the horsepower spec

but i do hope ayc will show up

 

All 05's have ACD which is the center diff. You mean SAYC which is hooked up in conguntion with the rear diff. I do have to agree SAYC is what we need it's the only thing not available and I have been hoping it will be on the next Evo it's what has kept me from buying an MR cause I know once I do and the next Evo comes out with finally everything the JDM and European ones have then I will be kicking myself ine the ***. So I hope I want have to wait and then not get it.

 

in that new panizi video, i noticed that the vortex generators werent on top (or im just blind ). also noticed mitsu did some changes to the interior also, if you look at the rear of the car, it looks like the license plate frame is the same size as the american plates. so i think this answers the rear plate dilemma im happy with the way the evo IX is coming out. just gotta wait to hear the prices. hopefully, it wont cost as much as the MR. (tho chances are it will)

 

EVO 9 is 280 or 300hp?I am confused.

 

Im in the delema of either purchasing an 05' gsr evo now, or wait for the evo 9, grr... what to do... I sure hope it comes out soon.

 

wait for 9
