differences? uhh...well for one i think that it would be a lot easier to find an Evo 8 rather than 7 considering theyre newer. but id just go with an RX8

How about that the EVO 7 is not availible in the US.

The EVO 7 and EVO 8 are almost identical. It's just that the "US" version of the EVO 7 is called the EVO 8. The only other real difference is the EVO 8 has slightly better traction system.

And why would you be looking at an RX8 vs an EVO8? the EVO8 and RX8 are in completely different classes.

It's like saying I'm looking at either a yugo or a cobra.

or why an rx-8! an rx-7 is faster

S2000man01 · 07-11-2003

he may not necessarily be looking for the "fastest" car he can get.

R3DL1N3 · 07-11-2003

what about the 2f2f evo 7? its left hand drive.

khmaitiger · 07-11-2003

rx-7 is still nice lookin.. i would respect it more than an 8 because there kidna rare 2 see now (at least around the nova area)

HondaLuver · 07-11-2003

nothing, just the looks and a little bit in the engine. there is no such thing as a evo in the US.

get the sti, it has more hp.

HondaLuver · 07-11-2003

nothing, just the looks and a little bit in the engine. they never brought evos to the US.

get the sti, it has more hp.

R3DL1N3 · 07-11-2003

well your first post was wrong, and so was your second hondaluver. have you ever heard of an evo 8? i sure have, i know i damn well they brought them to the US. where the hell have you been?

u just made your self look like a dumass

S2000man01 · 07-11-2003

lol. hondaluver read my post. the EVO 8 has a slightly better slip diff and traction control system. that's more than a little bit in the engine.

and what do you mean they never brought the evo's to the states? what do you call the evo 8?

Agreed....but u gotta give him the benefit of the doubt...hopefully he just opened his mouth before he thought about it...we all do that sometimes....now the big question is why did he post it twice and not edit either one...hahaa

tdiddy · 07-11-2003

why would mitsubishi change the # of the evo 7 to evo 8 just because it's a usdm? are you saying that the next evo in japan will be evo9? i don't think so...

Brandon · 07-12-2003

I read somewhere a long time ago that they only made 10,000 of each version. Then they have to make enough upgrades to consider it a "new" version. It's a self-imposed rule thing. I know they had an EVO 6 and an EVO 6.5, because they came out in the same year. I'm not sure if they still follow that rule though.

Uh, the next evo released will either be the evo9 in japan, or it will be THEIR version of the Evo 8.

Does ANYONE bother to read my damn post about how the EVO 8 IS DIFFERENT THAN THE EVO 7? WTF?
They didn't just rename it because it was the usdm version.

I read this last night, it'll probably help.

I also read this one, it's too old to mentino the EVO8 though.
