Did they mention price at all? revhappy 02-07-2003, 01:33 PM Base Price is $28,897. They are supposedly only producing 5,000 - 6,000 cars this year, so there are substantial mark-ups at some dealers. However evolutionm.net has a list of MSRP dealers. Here is a link to their FAQ page: http://features.evolutionm.net/faq.php?cat=lanevo&id=14&s= revhappy 02-07-2003, 11:15 PM Someone just scanned the article on evolutionm.net. http://forums.evolutionm.net/showthread.php?threadid=13284&perpage=15&pagenumber=8 ZoomZoom 02-08-2003, 11:24 AM Originally posted by revhappy Test Results for the US EVO VIII: 0-60: 5.1 secs 1/4 mile: 13.8@101.5mph Top speed: 155 skidpad: 0.97g slalom: 68.7mph curb weight: 3265lbs Observed Fuel Ecomomy: 19 MPG The specs look good but they can send this one to the fat farm to loose some weight. Grimace 02-08-2003, 11:37 AM Took a look at those scans. Teenie tiny sunroof on that thing! Buger 02-08-2003, 12:07 PM The EVO VIII puts up some very impressive #s. The gearing for the first 4 gears is shorter than any production car that I remember. Speed at redline for 2nd and 3rd gears are 60mph and 83mph! 4th was geared close to 3rd then there was a huge gap between 4th and 5th for better fuel economy and top speed. I wonder how the WRX Sti will do? :) |
