News on Evo 9?
Hiya guys, I was wondering: The evo 9 should be on it's way anytime now. Has anyone seen any press-releases on new spec/prices/range? There seems to be no information anywhere.

When the vvt engine was first introduced on the bugeye STi it proved a real pain for modifiers to map. One of the reasons why we had to wait over a year for any kind of mappable ECU(except very expensive MOTEC). Once they figured it out it was easy but it took time. Despite the claimed extra torque the vvt bugeyes powerband was awful(as std).
Personally I'd buy a 18 month old Evo8 for less than £20k and give RC/ ND etc £3.5k to make me a lovely reliable 350+ BHP monster(imho)
