The only thing that I like about the EVO more than the upcoming STi is ease of work. It's a standard configuration motor, so working on it won't be a pain like the flat 4 of the subie. However the extra displacement and twice the turbo of the subie will easily out power the EVO. There is no replacement for displacement.
And 12% drivetrain loss for a FWD? That's a bit nice, but its probably closer to 15-17%.
Agreed. Having worked on a few Imprezza's in the past I definately have more love for the EVO's staight four. It looks like a pretty roomy engine bay too.
