[Shotimes] RE: OT - Test drives of new Evolution and STi

[Ron Porter]

Yeah, I believe that STi is the Euro version that we never got. "Ours" is
pretty sweet though (with the 2.5 & 300 HP).

The STi numbers are wrong on your chart. It is a 2.5L engine generating 300
HP.

Just got my latest AutoWeek (5/5/03). They test drove the STi and Evolution.
They rated them the 2nd and 1st fastest cars respectively they have ever
tested through their slalom course. In addition, the Evolution does 60-0 in
100 feet which is the best they have ever tested.

Wow!

Can't wait until dealers start charging list or less for one of these.
