actually john.. price no object the STi will own the Lancer.. guys in Australia who get the 265 HP one (same as what we get).. add a boost controller (MBC @ 24 psi) and a unichip and are puttin down about 300 at the wheels.. means about 375 crank.. pretty dam nice ...

Unichip + AVCR can be had for under $1000 here.. under $500 if you go MBC..
