I love RX-7's..a rotary engine in the subaru.. nah.. I don't think it deserves it.. :smirk:

guess we'll just have to see if the new 2.5L turbo engine from Subaru has some validity to back up the suggested 300hp mark https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png ...Evo's engine has been around a while...and recently put up a supposed 244 hp/253 tq to the wheels on a dyno for the US Evo8...



If I had the money I'd love to purchase either one...but I'd rather wait a year or so to see how everything pans out and to see how much people really pay to get one...



I love my FC's, but can't help think how nice it would be to own a brand new low 13 sec out of the box car, capable of carrying a few friends and my bike as well :bigthumg:

Stock-for-stock I don't think the Evo will be able to touch the STi.

And even once the aftermarket gets ahold of them I think the STi will fare better. Mitsu is running 19psi to get that power... Subaru is only running about 12psi (iirc).

the STi is the better car, hands down. Though, they are both really cool. Im glad to see America finally get some badass cars. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

the aftermarket has already got a hold of the Evo, the HKS Evo holds the record at the Streets of Willow Springs for the fastest lap time, its in excess of 600hp.



The engine that is in the Evo is a time proven powerplant, the aftermarket already exists for it, expect Evos with simple bolt on mods to have 400hp or so no problem and be daily driven.
