Just saw this. Ed says it's been out for about 6 months. The website has some spec's on it.

I dunno.... with Subaru's next STI having more power and a much better suspension than the current model, I think the EVO will loose more ground to the STI.

It is a sexy car tho.

 

The new STi may be better in performance and what not, but it's still UGLY.

 

Are they going to have more power?

hmm.. I still think the evo might still stay on top.

 

I WISH we'd have seats like that in our sti's

God I hate the sti's seats.. I SWIM in the damn things...lol

If nothing else maybe even an option to beable to switch to different seats that are more bolstering and hold the skinny guys....

The Evo 9 will be better than the previous models in terms of performance. They added MIVEC to the motor (+10hp to 286hp) and new shorter gear ratios in the tranny so this will be the fastest Evo yet. (like each Evo has been from the car before)

I like the new front bumper. Looks a lot better rather than the rounded looking thing on the Evo 8. square car + round bumper doesn't work.

Too bad we won't get the JDM rear bumper with the diffuser.

 

i drove an evo 9 mr last night. one of my friends dads is pretty high up there in the mitsu corp. after the 2 VPs got it for a week each hes getting his turn. and yes it handles MUCH better than the sti.

 

The 06 STI has 311 lb/ft of torque and 280hp on the 2.0 litre japanese version, so I assume the 2.5 US version would have more. I could be wrong.


To answer the other response, yes the Subarus are ugly. Part of the reason I like them are the "what the hell is that thing" comments I get from the red necks where I live

 

Well, not like the Evos look very special themselves. To most normal people it just looks like a 4 door sedan with a big spoiler.

 

don't really like the rear bumper, i guess i rather have it in one color.

 

If anyone quotes this, measures to make you 'disappear' will be taken.




I like that picture of the yellow evo.

 

if you guys decide to buy the evo 9, make sure you buy the rear bumper from me

thats not what the rear bumper looks like on the evo9 mr. it looks like the current one

 

yea the new evo looks really nice. the bumper looks like the one off of the sparco evo if you guys know which one im talking about...with the circular holes in it. I wonder if you can get fogs to to go in the holes?
