haha the evo does not have 300 hp stock. hell mine dynoed stock at 217 AWHP, and i've got the sheet to prove it if it did, that would be a horrible drivetrain loss.

Well, stock for stock an AMG E55 will beat the Evo in real life acceleration - especially at highway speeds, but at nearly 3 times the price (over $80k) and with 470hp and over 500lb/ft. A local guy ran a 12.1 stock 
Also, they are low 4's for 0-60 and brake 60-0 less than 120ft... It's the "rich man's Evo" 
I'm sure the Evo slaloms and tracks much better, though, as the E55 weighs in at over 2 tons...
Also, the new m5 will be sporting 500hp...

i agree with the audi rs4 more hp and awd and you can't overlook LOOKS. it's an extra bonus in my opinion. One of the reasons i picked the evo over the sti was that i thought the evo was sexy. Now if i can just find that special love hole...

I think the new Ford Shelby Cobra GT500 will take the "ridiculous performance for the price" tag away from the EVO and STI. 475HP and 12.5 1/4 times for only $39K? Wow. Forget 2 door, domestic, live axle comments. That's sickly stock fast.

^Yeah I agree with you, so many different dynos, so many different readings, it's not an exact science. One of the best tests I believe in testing power, is at the drag strip, just my opinion.

300 AWHP on a stock car sounds a little silly. Anyone mention the STI? Although every review I've ever read picked the EVO, they've all said it was by the narrowest of margins.
