Got a ride in the Evo8 with light mods..comparison inside:
1st of all, wasn't impressed with its sraight line power considering it had a MBC and exhaust and BOV. Well, it sure grabbed ped's attention wherever it went. Can't miss the big wing at the back, hehe...
So, I think it feels about as fast as a stage2 S4, if even THAT...
But then, at the same time, I'm sure it's a fun car to toss around. It sure felt much lighter than the pork we're driving. But no match for stage3 S4s. ;-)
btw, loved the seats. Very nice!

The car runs 18.5 PSI stock and is supposedly good for the upper 20 PSI range. I just feel sorry for all the people that paid thousands over MSRP for that car, no 6spd and no differential control the STi was a way better buy and the Eclipse and Talon AWD turbo's have almost the same motor and can handle big boost with no internal mods.

Probably not tuned right.
With a proper ECU reflash tuned on a dyno, that car should be good for about 300@wheels.
I'm shooting for 400 on the stock turbo, and I'm THIS close. :-P
