It makes baby jesus cry when people act as authorities on subjects on which they have NO knowledge on. Step away from the import thread and get back to your displacement fixation.
What is different from the OZ edition and the Evo?
Motor, tranny, driveline, suspension, ECU... need I continue. It shares maybe 3 parts with the OZ edition. Wanna see the CAPS on it?
The Evo is based on the infamous 4g63. Infamous for 2 reasons: 1, The DSM 2g crankwalk, in which, due to improperly designed oil squirters the crank, over time, was able to move back and fourth... often just enough to take out the Crank angle sensor rendering the car immobile (Yes I was a victim). 2, for being one of the most resilient inline 4 motors ever (1g). Withstanding 450 hp in OEM form not many motors are half as bullet proof.
And sorry mr Tj, your stang wouldnt stand a chance in the twisties with either of these cars. You might even struggle to keep up with their mid 13 second 1/4 mile times if you are in stock 14.0 second 01' cobra trim.
Mustangs turning.... that gave me a chuckle.
