Evo X vs BMW and Audi

I was reading some magazines and found out that BMW and Audi will show some nice cars in the end of 2007 like:

BMW 135i - 1250Kg 306-330hp / vishnu tunning = something like 380hp
http://www.topspeed.com/cars/car-new...t-ar12605.html

Audi RS3 - 1400Kg I guess, 350hp / could go easily to 400hp

Both will receive a V6 engine more than 3.0liters and two turbos, which means a flat torque curve.

How will the Evo X perform against these cars? Will it smoke the competition?

I highly doubt X would have 400hp.
I think it would be more like 320hp but who knows at this point.
I also think stock evo X pushing 400hp would drive the price close to if not over $40K range.
As far as other two cars, for some reason European manufacturers have tendencies not to import cars like these to US.
I certainly hope that is not the case.

I am guessing you meant the 325i instead of 135i. That is one sweet car and great power and torque curve.

Is the RS3 going to come to the US? The S3 is currently just in Europe and not supposed to come to the US the last I heard. Sweet if it did.

No, he meant the 135i. I think you were referring to the 335 with twin turbos. Totally different, yet both awesome.

It's my understanding that the 135 will have a variant of the turbo engine in the 335. Some rumours say the same engine will be available.

Problem is, the BMW will never see US roads.
