They are really nice cars! I have seen them at the dealership. The horse power that mitsubishi is claiming is 271. I would love to have an evo but the price is way too high!! I could spend 33,000 on a cooler car. You should do some research on the new sti, It has 300hp and 300 lbs of torque. It also has a center differential that is adjustable from inside the car allowing you to adjust more front or more rear wheel drive.
