Who All Thinks Mutsu Has Something Up It's Sleve?????

I just have a feeling that all these people that are tesing the Evo X aren't testing the real one.....maybe it is my @$$ talking but i have a feeling that the TMS reveal car is gonna be a surprise.....at least 10 to 20 hp more would be nice

No, I dont think so. Makes no sense, cause I assume they use the reviews and crap as a marketing scheme to market their car. So if ur giving the reviewers a washed down verison of the evo, thus leading to a bad review. In what possible way is it helping mitsubishi make money? They want to build hype not destroy it.

I think it's pretty freaking close. I did read one that said they were still doing final ECU mapping but, I don't see them finding another 50hp or anything like that.

That's what the tuners are for.

I wouldn't expect any appearance changes though.

The only thing they have left is SST...

I can't imagine being THAT much faster than the manual. Regardless, I will still get one...

Not a law, its was gentleman's agreement that they will not make/rate cars over 280 ps.

actually it is not law....it is a common agreement between the Japanese automakers to not post anything more than 280hp, in order to prevent a hp war. And we wont be getting a better version than the Japanese because of our strict laws.

The real test is whether the wing will survive after idiots wreck them.
