why not?

Mitsubishi wouldn't have only 1 EVO-X test car around, and they could serve different purposes. The handling mule of the EVO-X was shelled in an EVO-VIII, no reason why they can't be testing that still.

They would use the mule with 8 body if they are making any changes that there not sure of easier to chop a mule up then modify a more production ready car.

You know, when you're testing a mule (lol.. funny), it really doesn't matter how well screwed the car is. All they care about is the mechanics - tranny, suspension, engine etc. They could care less how the mule looked. That's for the design department.
