I may have been to hasty with the EVO MR, turns out the car may have more than just 285HP, looks like it may have 300HP or more. Which means it could even be faster than what was first thought, especially when combined with it's lighter weight and 6 speed transmission.

In fact all EVOs in america are getting a bump in HP and TQ, from 271HP/273TQ to 276HP/285TQ and the MR may come with 300HP.
