saw an EVO8 in Scarborough today

Wow is all i can say.

Some rich kid decided to convert his brand new Lancer into an EVO8.

I work on the 5th floor right by the window and looking out over the parking lot i spotted a Charcoal Grey EVO8! I was so interested in the car i immediately left work and walked down to see the car.

This guy went all out, he had everything from the exact OEM bumpers to the stock FMIC to even the little tiny fins sticking out over the rear window!

I must say i like the look of this car a lot! even though the STi is a faster car i would choose this one over looks.


Any1 have an idea how much this would cost? something tells me i dont wanna know lol.

EVO, Lancer, its the same freakin car!

the STi is supposively a 1/2 a second faster on drag strip. But the EVO8 seems to get better track times than the Sti though.

who do you think you for are saying that these cars were snuck across the boarder the kid that owns that car lives in New York that explains the new York plate btw not all the Evo's are MR. For a guy that probably has never even worked , driven or sat in an Evo you sure know a lot about the car

I said I HEARD, I never stated that it was a fact. Check out neo240sx.ca and you'll know what im talking about. And I thought they were all MR's (again from what I heard). And what does my statment have anything to do with my knowledge of the EVOs? I guessing you've worked on and drove an EVO, so this is for you :

It's possible you saw an actual Evo, I know for a fact there was an Evo up in the GTA area this past week as he had a meet with a few of the local subies, were the plates american?
