EVO = Legendary 4G63 motor.

Already putting down 450WHEEL horsepower.

Stock turbo'd cars have went 11.8, with minimal bolt ons.

Great platform, and even without all the fancy suspension electronics will still out handle a STI.

STI has had a few problems already, a few things strike me as "not good". One being the ECU problems. The make the numbers they posted, they had to run a very unsafe method of tune on the ECU's, and on some pump gas, it caused audible knock. As a few of you know, this is not good.

ECU reflashes are available at the dealer, but they will more than likely take a few horsepower away. Bone stock.

Also, the stock turbo on the STI is undersized. Not only will this limit long term reliability, but also performance gains from "bolt ons".

On the flip side, the EVO's are having clutch problems. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a recall for them, or mitsubishi started putting better/more stronger pressure plates in them, but on the other hand, I wouldn't be surprised if Mitsu said "FUCK YOU BITCHES" Look at the track record with the 2g eclipses..

In the end, it's up to you. DSM/EVO guys are a real close nit bunch, and Subaru owners don't seem as much that way.

Whatever fits your fancy.
