True, but a watered down Evo could easily still make 280hp as the Japanese Evo is well over that. I don't think emissions are such a big deal. I don't even think the FMIC is that big of a problem, I think it's more of a business decision than anything else.

I will be happy as long as they keep the brembos, the racing seats and as long as the engine enternals and drive train are identical to the Japanese Evo. If you wanted to make some serious hp you would have to replace your downpipe and exhaust anyways so it really doesnt matter how many cats they plug it up with originally.

For example: Type R, STi, Nissan Silvia, Ae86 Corolla, Nissan Skyline, Mitsubishi GTO

GTO...3000GT? actually even better then the GTO from what i remember
ae86 (the one in initial d i assume?) did made it and i don't think is detuned, u can't really detune a whooping 120 horses
is the Corolla GTS in the states

Yahooooo

I am happy for your Lancer guys! I have a WRX and I want the STi. No Subaru HAS to bring the STi!!! Heck I might even get an Evo for my wife so we can have both. Anyhow, congrats on the good news and enjoy your awesome Evos' I can't wait to see some of you at an Auto-X with them. I have heard that they are hella grippy in the twisties.

I might have to look into to stripping down the Scooby and selling of all the parts and then getting what I can for a stock RS. Then I can make a down payment with the money from the Scooby sale and buy instant mods with my Scooby "mod sale" money. Woooohooooooo a plan is afoot.

Once Mitsubishi (or someone else) releases specs on the US model this message board is going to explode with new users. I hope the server is ready to handle all of the traffic.

Yes i hope that is true becuase i have already begun saving up for my EVO, ill be happy with a 250Hp model as long as i have my Brembo's, recaro seats and the same drivetrain and engine internals, i will easily get it back up to its 280Hp as i plan to mod it anyways..

and i hope its around 26-28 thousand!

Totally agree with you, Evo 7.

Most people here in Europe have or plan to have around 330 - 350 hp from their 280 hp version. If it had been 300, we would have 370 bhp, if it had been 250, we would have 320 bhp. It doesnt really make a difference. You can change turbos anyway.

The main thing about an Evo is the road holding, the chassis abilities and the suspension potential. As long as there is a 4G63 inside, u can make it anything from 250 or whatever it will be to 700 hp.
