That was my first thought... but its on the documents all over the place. Like for instance, check their website:

all the stats i've seen on the evo 9 have all been 286, so not sure why they are short changing you there. EMONZ WHERE ARE YOU....................?

USDM Evo IX is 286 in all trims. and Dusty yea we do have a GSR model. Mine is a GSR its just never reffered to that here in the US since most people call it the Straight 8 or 9

Thanks. I'll talk to the dealership. I am thinking of doing some rallying with the car, need to find out what mods are required/recommended. Definetly want to flash the thing... just not sure who to choose ;) Any ideas?

Having done some research, I have found that it is in fact the case that the EU version of the EVO 9 only has 280hp as opposed to 286. (This can be confirmed on the Estonian, Swedish, German... etc. mitsubishi dealership sites. The car accelerates 0-100kmh or 0-62mph in 5.7s)

Also I've found that "... Japanese-spec cars were limited by a gentleman's agreement to advertise no more than 280 hp (206 kw)". (Wikipedia) However the real output for a Japan-spec Evolution IX was about 320 PS.
