the thing people forget about the 2.0l vs 2.5l is that overseas the 2.0l STi is still making bigger numbers than the EVO granted its only 10hp and like 12 ft/lbs of tq but last time I checked thats still more.
Also in the US you dont see those crazy large numbers from the EJ20 because we haven't had it for the past 15 years like you DSM guys have, but again if you look over sees you will see those numbers. I honestly believe when the WRX gets to the same age as the first gen talons, GSX's and lasers they will be in the same category because parts will be cheaper and the american know how will be there with it as well.
now again Ive said it before, I love the EVO, the REAL EVO, not the US watered down EVO, its the techno goodies that give the EVO its balls, and other than being a fast car it seems that mitsu neutered it. I just cant wait to see a spec c vs rs showdown in the us, the spec c seems to lap faster than the RS in japan but it would still be a close call.
