Thats a whole heap of ponies. Where else will you be able to get 400bhp for 40k? (with a warranty)
Subuaru will not be able to answer that. (I drive a scoob, before anyone starts!)

Now that sounds like a lot of fun!

Rebuilt internals. Interesting!

Probably a retaliation to the Xtreme Autos Evo....

They only appear to be talking about producing 30 of them....Subaru won't be bothered about 'matching' that methinks.

Evo engined drag cars (Talons & Eclipses) in the USA are well over 1000bhp now

They make anything over here look lethargic by comparison....

LOL

What an animal.

Gun metal grey now why didnt subaru think of that

greasemonkey

They did - five years ago on the RB5.

Anyway, Gunmetal (in the proper sense) is dark blue, not grey.

Sounds very much like what subaru have done with the WR1, regular car with aftermarket fitments to create the new model.

greasemonkey

Yep, and they'll have done it for exactly the same reasons - namely sidestepping type approval/emissions regulations.

In this case though, the level of modification necessary on the Mitsu sounds way more involved than was the case with the WR1, if the spiel is to be believed. If the engine needs a complete strip and rebuild, it's likely that the delay between paying your money and actually receiving the car will be considerably longer than WR1 owners are experiencing.

...Unless, of course, Mitsubishi Motors UK are significantly more efficient than International Motors, which is always possible.

930bhp EVO and still looks like an evo unlike the 1000bhp drag monsters...and no NOS on the car for once...:-)

Guess you'll see it running at TOTB this year.
