No, EVO VIII center diff has a viscous coupling, much like the USDM WRX.

the jdm model evolutions get the ayc and acd.. and it has the 3 differential thing you're talking about..with a 6spd. the usdm evo get none of that except the viscous and a 5spd. the us always manages to get ripped off!! even in the uk, they've got the fq300 model, which has all the added stuff plus about 300hp as opposed to the regular 271. the usdm evo is nice, but we got ripped..
