    it looked like the evo 10...granted i was about 74 feet away from it...but it isn't the first time i've seen a car that hasn't been ''officially'' introduced yet...i've seen the cayman on mansell about 3 months before its official introduction to dealers, a Ford GT, Bentley Flying Spur, and etc....i honestly don't know why....lol

    well, the evo is more than a year away, so really doubt it was the evo.

    the lancer, yes coulda been. mitsu said they would be getting it soon. i didnt know it would be this soon.

    i dont care what you guys say, im buying an evo x, maybe the second year...

    first year is coming out with an audi tranny... sports shifter... paddles...

    i want a stick shift, it comes out on the second gen...

    the block is no longer iron, it will be aluminum, it will be so much more kickass than the current one. yes, it's not the most beautiful car, but who cares when youre going faster than eveyrone else.

    Aluminum block = less friendly to boost. It's Aluminum to offset the weight from having to move the engine forward in order to mount the turbo between the engine and firewall, hence the hood scoop to try and keep temps down. Mitsu had to put the turbo there to meet the current emissions standards.

    we are not getting a better block, its more eaiser to tear up then our evo8 -9 blocks. Second evo x hasn't hit shores yet but the new lancer has, the new lancer was slatted to come out in April

    paddle shift is going to suck, because if you dont shift it is giong to shift for you. So if you dont get a manual you are going to be pissed.
