you know, I kinda hope the Evo doesn't have the same power potential as the outgoing model. Too many people are buying them in hopes of hitting 4 digit power numbers and completely ignoring the other aspects of the car that make the Evo so damn special. And it wouldn't surprise me either, as the new STi also has made some changes that will make high hp production more difficult than the current model.

No, I'm just saying thats how they couldve made it better...I never said it would be easy.
you're telling me that redesigning an engine that was conceived in 1989 to 2008 specs is easier than designing an entirely new engine, using modern design techniques, and methods of production?

I think of it like this: killing the 4G63 IMO is like Chevy ending the production on their small block all together, whether it be the 327(325 for all thos who want to get technical) or the 350. If you have a great platform that has already proved itself many many times, why take the risk with something new? Granted all of their R&D looks good on paper and should work "theoretically speaking," but only testing it will prove that it its in fact better. I'm sure they put many hours into testing the engine, but the aftermarket goes above and beyond anything the manufacturer does. I guess we'll just have to wait and see...
