At 2:55 Eastern time, Mitsubishi will officially unveil the Evolution VIII.



Maybe they had second thoughts and gave us back red taillights and a 6th gear. *crosses fingers*

OK, to sum it all up;



1)- They started off showing clips of the previous generations of the EVO then brought the VIII out.



2)- It apparently will have 271 horsepower and of course the algayzzas.



3)- Then they announced Ralliart would be coming to america



4)- and now the low point where they announce they are the official sponsor for Fast and Furious 2, then they show the first teaser trailer from it.



5)- They bring out the EVO and Eclipse Spyder used in the movie along with Tyrese who brags on the cars LCD screens and dubs (none of which came stock funnily enough).





And thats all. Besides the fact it will sticker for $27-28k baseand that they claim its going to run 19 PSI. Maybe I misheard that though.

Almost forgot about them keep talking about the freaking Gran Turismo generation. Plus they had two prorally drivers bring in the new EVO VIII prorally car. They said "good job fellas" and let Tyrese keep bs'ing about ******* dubs. :rant:
