The gentelmans law (the one that limits Japanese cars to 276hp) messures the power at the wheels. That is why Supras with the same engine are 276hp in Japan and 320hp in America (because we count at the flywheel.) I have heard of Jspec Evos messuring over 300+hp at the flywheeel. If the STi is just barely matching the Evo now what about when the RS comes out in a few monthes? Or God forbid they should sell the VQ330 in the states? Plus the Evo is just as fast (if not faster) for a whole lot less money. Like I said before I really do hope that the Subies do win but they need to step up to the plate quick before the Evos get a foothold in America.
