You know the more I think about it the more I wonder if it isn't just worth the extra $4k more to get the legalized EVO 8 JDM version that has all the toys? You skip all the BS dealer mark-ups.

i read in British car mag that the American EVO VIII may be more tossable(fun, neutral) and behave more like VII than new J-spec VIII BECAUSE of the new, "too effective" active centre diff and active yaw control. We may be better off.

Left hand drive JDM export Evo's can be bought from importer in Florida.

well if that's the case get the JDM EVO 7 for the same price as the USDM EVO 8. Either way no stupid dealer mark-up.
