^I know I was talking about the two trims for the Evo X, GSR and MR. And the Ford RS is so bad ass, can't wait to see it in America. I think the focus rally sport will have even more potential than the STi or even the evo for big awhp.
We'll see what happens though...

yea in America the STi comes with the 2.5L, personally I can't stand the horizontally opposed engines in subies, the oil problems when those cars push 500+ hp is horrible. I've seen a lot of rebuilt subies due to cracked pistons, and sometimes cracked rods.

You blame it on the oiling problems, but you gotta remember, thats 500 hp out of a 4 cyl. Your gonna break stuff.

there's evo's out there with 2.0L I4's that are pushing 500-600awhp and rally racing them in mud dirt and snow and those things are bomb proof the 4G63 has been much more proven for durability than the boxer.

but hey this is a ranger forum... haha

By the same token, I've seen quite a few 400+hp AIRCOOLED flat 4s, that don't have alot of issues.
