I'm glad you find Wikipedia such an enlightening source of information!!
It wasn't actually me who posted, but I'll defend him anyway as he's my bestmate!!
I'm just amazed at your ignorance, you never said the post related to US models and our reply never mentioned where they were released!!
As I'm sure you're aware, all the top Jap tuning parts come from Japan, so saying that the car is new compared to the EVO is irrelevant. The top tuning companies have been making parts for STi and EVO for the same period of time, and if you're referring to any US made crap then thats even funnier. Coz the US couldnt tune a Jap motor if you were given a dot-to-dot diagram of how to do it!!
You say you run a modifying company?!?! You really should be clued up about your business, I've no hesitation in the world in saying that the US guys are the gods of tuning muscle cars (possibly with the exception of Scandinavia in some instances) however if you;re gonna step into the Jap world be prepared.
As for a car to beat yours........
Sorry but if that car runs a sub-9 in that spec I'll give you my Porsche!!
This is a 9-sec 1/4-mile EVO engine, running a staggering 930bhp in a fully lightened and prepared chassis.
**Also the fastest EVO in the world!!**
I have no question that you run a top company, you've spent a lot of money on the car and obviously wanna do well, but I'm sub-9's is rediculous.
I have no desire to argue this out in a public forum however, if you would like to discuss spec, performance etc please PM me. I've been in the Jap scene for a long time, Ben has even longer!! We weren't Jun dealers for nothing!!
