Stock for stock this is not an STI EVO killer.
Tuned, it may achieve similar numbers, but then the STI and EVO can also be tuned beyond their stock numbers.
So, it's not going to "kill" those cars at all.

I think this new engine is excellent.
The true comparison is between the A4 and C class.
The new 3 will spank them in stock form and potentially beat them in tuned form.
Audi and MB have their work cut out for them yet again.
And those cars still don't quite match the 3's driving dynamics.
This new 3 appears to be excellent!
I like it, a lot.
