I know you guys will hate me for this, but the Evo really bores me anymore.
I lived in Chicago for a while (land of AMS and their 1000hp Evo 8) and I saw them all the time. I could spank them consistently with my FC RX7 (LS1 swap) and while they're good at handling, you mess up one part modifying the suspension system and it goes to . Since they're a cheap performance car, they're not good to buy used. Transfer cases and clutches aren't cheap.

Rep Power: 0 there are more than a dozen "Legal" Evo's in Canada. Most of them are VIN Swapped Ralliarts/OZ's, but there are a couple of legit Evo's registered as such within Canada, How they were registered is anyones guess, I think someone had some friends at the MTO who looked the other way, as the Evo is a valid selection on the MTO's registration system (not sure why a car that is on the RIV banned list is still listed on the MTO registration system). There is also a couple of New Yorkers with EVO VIII and IX's registered and Plated in NY and driven up here.
The EVO X is a beautiful car, but I am not holding my breath on it showing up in Canada any more. We were told Jan 07, then Sept 07, then Dec 07 then Feb 08, so until I see something in writing from Mitsubishi Canada saying the Evo is a go, and they are allowing dealers to take pre-orders on them (be careful of this right now) I will not put a penny down on a new Evo X.
