It is true that fluids can not be dripped onto the track. Subaru knows this and has made the water cooled intercooler sealed so that fluids are not dripped.

Sold every part and bought a 69 Nova, dropped a 454 in it and never looked back. If you didn't notice, he's a drag racing fan. But yes, the WRX was NOT made for the strip, hence the great horsepower-stealing AWD.

Just my opinions really. Evo > Subaru
The WRX is not the STI first of all. Second of all they all have AWD, so saying that the wrx/sti is not ready for the strip means the evo is not ready also.
