Is the STI that bad?
The issue for the Mitsu remains old and new. We don't know how the new motor will respond to enhancements and all of the other parts require attention well beyond the somewhat overbuilt from a driveline perspecive Subaru.

^You can't use vishnu as an example as they lie and many times they say 280whp or whatever and then when the car is dynoed by a 3rd party they make less then stock. I've seen it happen multiple times.
At a local event on a dynoed where IXs dyno around 250-260 at the wheels a new X dynoed at 240 at the wheels. I would say stock for stock they are roughly equal. I know AMS is coming out with some parts and doing some real tuning of the X so we should have a good idea of what the X makes soon enough. But, my evo's engine is stock so what do I care!
I sometimes wonder if I'm the only one on earth!
