Honestly, with reliability mods, FD's are plenty reliable. They've got a new Anti-Detonation unit that's finishing up testing. They pumped the FD up with 87 octane and ran it at full boost, ran strong as a rhino.
2nd Gen DSM's were unreliable because of crankwalk. 1st gen DSM's were more reliable, we could have a whole discussion about this pin that pin, this secondary oil squirter that secondary oil squirter. Anyways the Evo's 4G63 isn't quite exactly the same as the DSM's... pulleys arent even on the same side, so its clear mitsu didnt just lift one out of a GST and drop it in an Evo VIII.
Is a Supra making 750 hp so incredible? How about an engine with 2/3 the displacement and 2/3 the cylinders making 2/3 the power?
Why is it so difficult to accept that there are faster cars these days. No need to make excuses about this or that. An Evo can haul 5 people, groceries, and a sub box in the trunk big enough to house 2 15"s and still have cargo space... plus it can do it in the rain, snow, dirt...
No reason to hate, even more so no reason to be ignorant.
