You got me on that one, John...I can't name any problems, I've just heard of a few. I only experience torque steer when I floor it while turning... Car and driver seemed to notice that extra power more than anything... I will give it to the Evo that the 4G engine has also been known for big power. The most I've heard of ouf of the EJ is just over 700hp...

theres a 10-15% correction factor on speedometers. You don't notice it at 50, because thats roughly 5mph, but at 150, your stock speedo is way off.
I personally dont see the big deal of a car that can do 200mph.

Oh and, by the way, at 65mph my STi has a 4mph error, at 105 it has a 6mph error.

It's like when I had a bike and everyone talked about going 205mph. No, you didn't. Try 170-180
At 120 I believe my Firebird was 9-12mph off, somewhere around there. It doesn't get bad until high up, obviously, it's a percentage.

Pushing 40k miles on stock clutch, no problem. I've even been to the drags a few times.
