The tail-lights and general rear follows the entire pattern of the 8's rear. Granted, I saw an 8 every day until yesterday (!) for about a month and I've never seen a seven in person, but it looks quite a bit like the 8.
 
They badged it to make it similar to the US spec EVO 8, but underneath all that crap, it's a 7, and a very tired one at that.

You don't get it do you? The Evo8 I heard has better performance.
You gotta love Vinkento's "I HATE SHINEZ" speedo.

I know..Vin's speedo was both clever and funny..He got 20 Hilarity points for it..but anywho

In actuallity, the evo VII outperforms the evo VIII

The Evo VII
280HP
282.5 lbs of tq

it's curb weight is
1400kg

it's length is
4455mm

the front brakes are brembo's
however their diameter on both the VII and the VIII are the same

The rear tires are 235/35R17's
--------------------

The Evo VIII
272HP

curb weight
1410 KG

length
4490mm


rear tires are
205/65R15

there are no stats to the evo VIII that are greater in a possitive way over the evo VII, so this isn't bias fact printing...I am only giving the #'s in which are not comparitivley equal

so in essense..The Evo VII has the capability to easily outperform the evo VIII in stock trim car for car..

Well you have to give the Evo 8 some credit. In a test against the Evo 8 and the new WRX STi the Evo won, but just barely. They also tested them on the dirt, and they had a rally champion driver test it (forgot his name, I dont have the mag with me atm). I would go with the WRX though.

Actually torque is. I like how you skipped it.
 
i got the mag with me right now "New-Wave Slingshots". June 03 Car and Driver. Rod Millen was the rally driver. the STi looks bad-ass but i like the tamer look of the evo. take that big ulgy-ass wing off the evo and it'd be great.
 
dudes, u know it is a EVO 7, because paul what his face from 2F2Furious said that these evos r rare to get in the US, supposedly?
 
this has to be the strangest poll i've seen. polls are usually a matter of opinion, this is a clear fact. its like saying "baghdad is a lame place" its clearly true, no argument :D

in light of that i voted for evo 7 hehehe
