evo motors respond just like all other turbo motors man. bigger injectors, bigger turbo, top mount manifolds, more boost, open up the exhaust, you know. its all just like every other motor. if you're in the market for an evo, the 2nd gen eclipses are faster. they have the same motor and are a little lighter. talon TSI is the same thing also. AWD trannys are fun, clutches go bad on people who burn them. people who dont know how to drive a manual, you know... as long as you are a good driver, the clutch will be fine. just make sure you dont overload it, or replace it for the increased torque clamp. AWD tranny doesnt blow out on people unless they overload it either.
