91teg is basically right. But so are you Nein. Its basically a $12k car with a souped up 4g63, a very old motor. What you'd be driving is a souped up Lancer OZ RALLY EDITION, with an Eclipse turbo motor in it, AWD and a factory front-mount...yes still nothin special I have to agree.
But Nein you have a good point. The Evo series has been proven thru and thru, especially in rally. Only recently with the EVO VI, VII, VIII has it come a bit more into street and track. But I would hate to know I paid $32k for the same engine I could find in a 96 GS-T or GSX eclipse. Interior aside, I would have chosen the STI...I'm a performance freak, I need not a luxery interior or a stereo when the RPM's are at 6k and you can't hear anything but the engine anyway...
