if you follow the thread, all of the cars in question are modified. but the SPARCO Evo VIII won the track attack at buttonwillow.

cool, huh?

i'm sure it's boosted to within an inch of its life but it also handles better.

modified STi's and Evo's are :thumbup:

Maybe I shouldn't wait for the MR afterall, that CF hood on that Sparco Evo8 was cool. I like the STi-like center diff though (with gravel, tarmac, and snow settings), is that really useful?

i am sure it's useful, but i left it in auto mode when i was pushing the car. when i'd remember to do so, i'd kick it into rear wheel bias.

the MR will have all of this, though, too.

yeah, that's one of the reasons I want to wait for an MR.

The more I look at the Evo, the more I like it. If I were to get one, it'll have to be black, or 2nd choice white. All other colors make it look like I just got out of the shooting set of 3 Fast 3 Furious.

Ayn, you going to get a Evo MR next year? What color you going to get? So far I've seen red and dark gray and they seem to be the only colors out for the MR. Get a white one, and I'll get a black one, and we can go racing. 3 fast..... 3 furious..... can I get a "werd" here?

I am on the list for the MR, and they are supposed to be here this Fall. They come in Red, White, Silver, and Grey (at least that's what I read from the future evo models forum at EvolutionM)

there is a black Evo8 on eBay, located in Minnesota:

btw, the STi Spec-C will be here also.

white, and then black. yellow, red, and blue are cool, but not they draw way too much attention.

from the looks of it, it's best to buy an Evo when one can if DC does not bail out the company.

if DC fiscal support is pulled out, who knows if they'll keep making the Evo models because i do not think they are profit-margin friendly.
