Thumbs down Evo not that good!!!

Has anybody checked out the specs on the new evo. Its got a frontmount. Mutch larger turbo. AND its running 19lbs of boost. With only 273 horses. If my subi was running 19lbs with a front mount It would have a lot more power than that. WEAK!

since 1lb of boost makes around 10hp, you would have more hp. but, even better, i think the 10hp is wheel horsepower, whereas the evo is at the crank.

Compaired to the USDM STI, the Evo leaves much to be desired...

Yes but the evo that owned it was 280hp and has all the neat gadgets. Our Evo will not be comparible. Our STI on the other hand, is closer to a spec-C STI than a regular JDM STI, exept with an EJ25 of course.

And the Evo had less HP
Dont believe me look up Option Magazine.
Are you talking about aftermarket cars? Or do you mean JDM when you say Jun?

Either way, compairing tuned cars is quite different then compairing stock cars, let alone compairing the JDM STI and JDM EVO VII with the USDM STI and USDM EVO VIII... I dont think that article applies in the least to the USDM debate.
