EVO MR utilitizes a different turbo/camshafts setup. HP should be between 280- 300hp.
As for to prove for supremacy..whats the point of bringing up WRC if the real battle is on the streets?

Needless to say but the final was finished like this EVO, EVO, STi Spec C, Evo, and STi in that order. So really who is on top and who isn't. Subaru went through the same thing Mitsu is going through now the only difference is Subaru fixed their problems right the first time where as Mitsu didn't!!!

I agree with your comment, btw, just thought I'd bust your chops a little bit. I agree, it is about streetability.
Anyone know how the Evo is selling compared to the STi?

But I see STi more often than EVO for sure.

Is this why we're hearing rumors about an '06 STI maybe different (in apprearance from what we've been seeing so far)? If these rumors are true, I hope it will out do the EVO MR in performance, although the looks is not an ideal fix for me.
