What are your future plans for your new car, are you looking for a race car or a street car?
There are stock turbo evo's and stock internals daily driven with 400 whp plus.
My friend has a 430 whp SRT-4, daily driven and has gone 11.6 @ 125, many many drag runs. And has been at that power level for well over a year.
A friend of mine just sold his 530 whp GT35R STi. Again, Daily driven.
And remember the 4g63 has stronger internals, than that of the srt-4 drivetrain. A titanium valve train for instance. Again there are plenty of daily driven evo's and srt-4's in that power range.
The evo can't handle 300 hp? On the 9's a tune and tbe, will yield you 330-340 whp. And a lot of evo's are modding to that degree or more. You know very little about what these cars are capable of.
The EVO can be a daily driven race car. Dominate at the track, then drive home. It's that simple.
There is a reason why the Evo sold well, and the Crossfire did not. The Evo excels, while the Crossfire was a dud.
