I read Mitsubishi is coming out with a EVO MR VFQ in europe which is putting down 400hp and 380lb torque. It will be a limited edition car which sells for around 40K lbs which is super cheap compared to the cars which it can hang with performance wise...think Porsche Carrera GT...Mit's says 0-60 times around 3.8sec and a top speed of 175mph limited. They also said they could have gotten 450hp out of the 2 litre engine but didn't want to up the cost too much. Still comes with the 3 year warranty also. That's Cool! I think Subaru is falling behind... The Evo used to have the better handling and the WRX a better engine but I think that's gone now too... looks like Subaru is down to a better gas tank and nicer interior. Subaru better come out with some cool new stuff or I might have to defect to the other side
