Evo's real HP...
#4
Nope ...check out the Dyno results people are seeing. After the Mazda and Ford problems with this I'm sure they are being very careful to be accurate. Imagine the lawsuits from the insurance companies or the first dude that wipes it out and claims he woud have been ok if it was only 271 HP.
I'd like to think it is really 300 but it's not.

sucks..

The accual HP is 271- all the dyno test done are with multible runs like car and driver dyno the evo 7 times with all diferent results,1 was at 298.2 another at 196 another at 250 and the last at 320.to dyno a AWD s not easy,and not everyone knows how to do it corectly.I watched 3 runs on a professional dyno in CO.all the runs were right @ 271-273 and it was a dyno specificaly for AWD performance cars.

actually maybe he was talking about the EVO 8 gsr. I hear that has about 320 at the flywheel. Maybe thats what he means but you can only import those from japan so its not easy to get a hold of. Im not sure what gives it that extra 50

Besides, there's no way a 3260lb vehicle with 271hp can do low to mid 13's, can it? It has to be underrated.

I think it is under rated actually. I saw a couple of dynos that were aroun 230 at the wheels. That means there is only a ~15% drivetrain loss. I think an all wheel drive car should lose a little more than 15% through the drivetrain. I am no expert though, that is just my opinion.
