[B]I too like the evo7 better than the evo8...But my one concern before ever thinnking of getting it is.....

How many PSI's does it come with stock?

Ive heard 19 but damn... i cant convince my self to believe that and if it is than thats not too much space for improvements, but i could be wrong.

I think Car and driver got around the same times.

Enjoy the AWD turbo!

Actually it says that Mitsu is claiming those numbers. Road & Track somehow tested a car but it was done in Thialand so I am not sure how valide everything was. Anyway they got 13.8 for the

Your right if it's an awd turbo car always subtract .5 from the manufactures 1/4 mile time.

I wonder what spinning all 4 tires feels like

I dont know why s2000 owners would worry about a "lancer." It really isn't in the same class. And I know for a fact that an S with little mods will outrun a lancer. Not to mention on the highways the lancer is screwed----NO TOP END----! And we got it all baby!

That's absolutely correct -- in SCCA Solo II, anyway, the Lancer's in a class above the S2000.

A Lancer with "little" mods will murder an S2000 in a straight line. The drag strip is the wrong place to pick a fight in an S2000.

In pictures it's hard to choose between the looks of the STI or the Evo. But I have seen the Evo in person and that's my choice. Plus I think it's clear stock for stock the S2000 will see it's carbon fiber wing...

BTW- I think the Evo 6 is probably the best looking of all Evo's...
