Default EVO's

Are there any true EVO's in the area? I've been seeing a red DSM that looks strikingly like an older EVO. I usually see it heading southbound on I275/US19 just south of the Skyway while I'm heading north. It appears to be the Lancer body style, bright red, small wing, doesn't appear to be lowered, and has a decent FMIC behind the grill opening. I think it has clear taillights too. I wasn't sure if it was the real thing, or someone just made a copy.

I saw it again today and noticed that it had a black rectangle on the hood. Possibly a hood scoop or vent? The car does look genuine, at least by pictures that I've seen. I can't believe that are using a car like that for a long daily commute.

i believe the one you are seeing is the real deal. is the steering wheel on the right side of the car? my barber cuts hair for a guy that has a real evo, hes had it here for about 2 years i believe. hes also got 2 vipers.
