I just got my first look at the Evo 7 today. MTV did some movie short on Fast and the Furious 2, and Paul Walker drives a pimped out Lancer Evolution 7. It is so fucking sweet, I can't wait till mitsubishi gets their shit together and releases them in the U.S.

This is all unofficial information, but it appears to be very accurate:

FMIC w/ water sprayer
Recaro seats
Brembo brakes
Rear diff is viscous
Center diff is in transfer case and is also viscous
Front diff - paperwork is a misprint and talks about the diff being in the T-case, so no info.
271 hp 273 tq
1 version, only options will be sunroof, and an optional down sizing of the carbon fiber rear spoiler to the OZ one
Under 30K (what ever that means) probably $29,999.99
Only 5K first year
6 colors
27mpg highway
Sport ABS with EBD/traction control (electronic Brake Distribution)
Inverted front struts (forgot to ask about the rear)
235/45/zr 17 Yokohama tires (~10,000 miles life) and 17x8 wheels
Synthetic oil only
Must have “evo certified” tech work on it or it voids the warranty
8.8:1 compression ratio
16G twin scroll turbo
5 speed with short shifter
Triple syncro - 1st, 2nd
Double syncro - 3rd, Reverse
Single syncro - 4th, 5th
Hollow cams and Mag Valve cover
The world release date for the Evo is slated for January 3rd, at the LA Auto Show. Vehicles will most likely arrive to dealers sometime in Late February/ early March.

yeah, i've just never been too fond of the looks of the evo's is all....course, the WRX's are ugly as hell too..it's all about the old school GC8's (pre 2002 impreza)

i agree with you there.
mitsu's have never been the best for looks, but they are pretty powerful. and the wrx is nice, you can get bolt on kits to take them from 227 to 320 hp for under 3000 bucks. but the 2.5rs still kicks butt in my mind.

nice, what year? if you do get it, be sure to check out www.impreza.net (NASIOC, formerly I-Club) it's pretty cool. I'm in the Pacific Northwest Subaru Enthusiasts Club, we go karting and stuff, it's pretty fun!

Has any heard realiably if the evo 7 is coming with the variable center diff. or not??? I'm pretty sure I heard it wasn't initialy, but might be offered as an option in a year or two. Regardless, this is still an awesome car. Car companies are really starting to get there shit together. The Golf R32 should be pretty sick too for all you Dub and normally aspirated fans. That 3.2L V6 engine is just crying for a supercharger though.... Anyone else seen the new Audi TT with the 3.2L VR6 in it??? So many nice cars out.... so little money... haha.

F*ck the Evo 8, it's all about the '04 STi and (even better) the '04/05 Legacy Turbo (too bad we won't get Japan's B6 Tommy Kaira ed or the B4 Blitzen).

Still, I'd love to replace my 93 Legacy L with a Baja and drop in an EJ22T upgraded with STi parts. That would be sick
