That much hp and awd I would have thought under 2 second 0-60 time would have been possible. 2.5seconds seems kinda long for that much power. How much power did the lingenfelter TT C6 vette have that went 0-60 in 1.7-1.9 seconds?

Granted, this impreza rally whatever would out handle anything, but just curious...

Dayum. It's got the 2.0L too. How can it be street legal though? I mean it can't be running pump gas and passing smog.

Yeah. I would love some of those connections too.

OT: Not to hijack (sorry Ike), but it's gonna cost me another $150 in parts ($250 vs. $400) and less 5-8hp to run a smog legal exhaust for my Evo. I have a hookup for RS*R stuff and I have a chance to get their 3" downpipe on my Evo for $250. It would bolt up directly to the RS*R 3" cat-back exhuast already on my car. Problem is their downpipe eliminates the cat. Running catless in CA is a $2k fine if caught. So now I'm gonna have to pay about $230 for a Tanabe downpipe and another $170 for an Ultimate Racing highflow cat. It's just one of those things.

You guys just can't get catted downpipes like us Suby people do?

I haven't seen any catted downpipes out there yet. With the exception of DC Sports and RS*R (whose downpipes replace the cat), most of the downpipes offered come with the option to run a high flow cat or test pipe of the end of it. Maybe it has to do with where the downpipe is located. I dunno. I know on my old SRT-4 there was a TB setup sold where the downpipe and cat where a single piece of hardware, but nothing like that for the Evo so far that I've seen.
