Nah, I wouldn't worry about the EVO, it's such a watered down version of what they have in Japan, it's not much of an issue, the new WRX STi is something to worry about, and the new Neon SRT-4 is also something to worry about. The Lancer has 240 crank hp, then take away all the all-wheel drive train loss and you're not a far cry from the current WRX.

In any case, don't worry about it, just win.....
