The WRX STi's are sweet cars and I'm glad they are bringing some of the more worthy imports over here now instead of keeping them in Japan and Europe, but they are already running alot of boost to get that power out of a 4-cylinder, which effects reliability, and as someone else said it's probably almost maxed out unless you want to spend alot of money to get more out of it.
Although I'm not sure about the looks, the Lancer Evol is supposed to be faster through the twisties and only slightly slower in a straight line. Then again, I think they are running like 20+ lbs of boost stock in that car.
Having just read about getting 1040 hp out of a turbo'd 331 ci carbed smallblock on 13 psi, I think I'll stick with the extra displacement.
