I think there's a few threads like this, but it might just be motorsports themed.
My 2 Evo's have treated me great. I'm very good on maintenance and everything which I'm sure doesn't hurt. Besides some T-clamps or something coming off after a mod I did; everything's been good.

03 VIII
~290whp?
23k miles
P0300 issue; nothing else

06 IX
311whp \ 321wtq
17k miles
perfect
A few track events...

Btw, you should probably separate out the non-street driven Evo's!

03 Apex Silver Evo 8 GSR
WHP: Last dyno- 318
50,000 (plus or minus 15miles)
Useage: the larges useless fing paper weight known to man. Secondary use as a black hole for all spare money.

The begining issues:
Bought with blown headgasket; found melted head. got running- found bad clutch (absolutly no movement or engagement of trans) fixed that, found bad input shaft bearings. Rebuilt trans.
Dyno'ed- developed bad boosting issues on dyno (couldnt get 23psi, either 18 or 25+) also developed starting issues. Found massive cylinder leak down- rebuild head due to bent valves.

The current issues:
Finially got running- 4 days later spun rod bearing. Been sitting under car port with a car cover ever since. (6 or more months now)

Awaiting stroker and GT30/35 turbo. What a way to waste way too much money.
