Expanding into other platforms

I'm curious if WORKS is planning on taking on other platforms besides the EVO. The supercharged ecotech in the Cobalt and Ion really could use a "brain flash." The turbo charged soltice and sky coming out next year should be good modding platforms as well. I like Works, but my time with the Evo is comming to an end. I would definatly use them on my next car if they offered anything for it.

Ion or Cobalt? If Works wants to pad the bottom line sure but as a next car? Definitely a step down.

As for the RX8, I should drive one before saying much except it might a candidate for the lowest fuel mileage to power ratio.

Maybe if they're WORKS blue, but we can't handle any more smurf blue ones... my eyes are just now recovering.

Back on track...

As of right now, WORKS is focused almost solely on the EVO. We are planning to branch further out within the Mitsubishi lineup, but don't have any plans to move beyond that at this time.

Actually, gm is coming out with track preped hardtop versions of both the sky and soltice for mid to upper $20k's. With a stock 250+hp tubo, RWD, and sub 3000lb curb wieght, they will both give the evo a run for its money. There's even talk about putting GM's new 2.8 turbo 6 in the sky to make it more upscale.

Throw some aftermarket at them and they will give dave's mr2 some competition too.
