Saw the LanEvo 7 on the road!
Saw the LanEvo 7 on the road!
I saw a black one this last weekend with Michigan plates. It looked like it was totally stock and I could only follow it from behind in my van. 
I wanted to take pics but the red lights didn't last long enough for me to get to my trunk. I really can't wait till those really are available. That thing really got me drooling in my seat. 
Edit: This was in socal. Newport beach area.

I saw a red S2000 on the road about 7 months before they were released. I was like wut the hell is this with a Honda badge!? Makes me wonder, do they send over a few ahead of time and for what reason? Also I vaguely remember a post on this board about someone seeing the RSX or something way before the release date and trying to follow it and get pics but the guys got really pissed and took off.

I believe I spotted one the other day, well a few weeks ago atleast. It was white, I could not tell if it had a front mount, it was hauling *** the opposite direction. In my rear view as it passed I believe it said EVO or Lancer EVO7 or something, not 100% sure.

I would assume doing some last minute tests before it's release to North America. Wow I can't wait to drive one.

My neighbor once picked up one of those for one of his racing buddies. I don't know if they are legal to drive on public roads but his friend just stuck on some fake plates and drove it clear across the US. More interesting however was that he did this in about 40 hours. They are really sweet, when you climb in the cabin it just feels like what the ITR should be, supportive seats, a sweet steering wheel, more guages and a engine that revs up like a chainsaw.
So B2infinity did you race it?

It gets the vehicles image out before it's released. VW/Audi has their shop in brandon and drive new VW/Audis our many mant months before they are released. The people driving them can't tell you any info (forbiden by contract) about the vehicle. At least for VW/Audi. My boss also saw a Mazda RX8 in Brandon last week so Mazda might have one there as well (not sure though).

Last time I check, you are free to post whatever you want. I've seen plenty of other people doing the same thing.
