its a 2000 evo 6.5 tommi makinen edition, which basically means its got slightly different suspension than a regular 6, a better turbo that spools faster ( still fairly laggy ), stronger gearbox with shorter gears and the seats say tommi makinen.
i only got it on saturday but im already super impressed, got heaps of power and torque (when you hit boost) rails the corners like you wouldnt believe and has a fairly nice interior, plus when driven sensibly has reasonable fuel economy (9L/100km), also it has a button to spray water on the intercooler :)
downsides - TURNING CIRCLE SUCKS, like ridiculously bad, i drove the titanic the other week and that turned better, loud, it has a straight through exhaust so its not quiet, when not on boost fairly gutless until those 18psi kick in then it really boogies
