| Question:
Hi alan, im looking at getting a new car and im looking at the subaru P1 or the evo 6.i noticed you used to have a Subaru and sold it for the evo. What one do you prefer ? What are they like round a track / drag strip?
They are around the same price to start with and if im being honest i prefer the shape of the Subaru but theres a lot more subarus on the road than evos and i did fancy something a bit more rare.
Finally is one more expensive than the other to get more power from the engine ?
I feel you are a great person to ask as you have owned them both and had experience driving them so any input would be appreciated.
Many thanks |

Hi Brian - both of the cars I had were in tip top low mileage condition, which certainly helps. The P1 does have a higher value than the equivalent Type R, and I'm not sure I'd buy one with the intentions of tracking it. It all depends how serious you are, personally if I'm on a race track, the red mist comes down! Id say the cars are very similar in performance terms, the Evo may well be cheaper to prepare for occasional track use, being slightly better prepared to start with, having better brakes and intercooling. The Evo should make 350 bhp right away with a decat and re map but you'd need a front mount intercooler to do the same with the P1 I'd say the Evo has a slightly better put together feel, but the Subaru has a certain charm lacking in the Mitsubishi. It's still hard to choose! |
