If you're wondering if the front air dam actually serves a purpose-well, yes, it does. Unlike some designs that shall remain nameless, the custom carbon front spoiler does aid in downforce in addition to making you say, "damn!" The carbon GT wing is also fully functional and stands proud and erect like, uh, nevermind (we're sensitive writers now). And yes, we are really fond of the howling banshees (Um, it's a wolf, Jonny.-JN) plastered in sticky vinyl along the sides.
It's quite obvious that we're going to have a winner with the Evo VIII. The power, the prestige-it will be ours. And it's about damn time.
