"We owe it to motorsports for creating some of the most celebrated street machines in existence. Competition spurs innovation with the interest of stretching a vehicle&amp;#039;s capabilities within a narrow set of guidelines. And thanks to homologation, manufacturers are required to produce and sell a minimum number of these prospective race-winning machines\u2014less the race equipment\u2014to the general public.   Two of the most recognizable production vehicles bred from their manufacturers&amp;#039; endeavors on the rally racing circuit are the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution and the Subaru Impreza WRX STI. Here we&amp;#039;ve obtained the latest and greatest versions of both, but instead of pitting them head to head in the customary R&amp;amp;amp;T track setting, we thought it best to explore the breadth of their sophisticated all-wheel-drive systems, performance-tuned chassis and high-strung turbocharged 4-cylinder engines in an environment that will showcase their talents as much as it could expose their weaknesses.   Venturing to the other side of the continent, we landed at the Team O&amp;#039;Neil Rally School and Car Control Center in Dalton, New Hampshire. Our first three days here were spent as students, getting up to speed on the nuances of perform-ance driving in a rally environment, while taking in all the breathtaking beauty and bone-chilling rain New England had to offer. The following week arrived with us having full latitude within this world-class off-road training facility for our testing. And along with it, the assistance of its founder and accomplished rally champion, Tim O&amp;#039;Neil. With his help, we&amp;#039;d wring the most out these production sedans on the narrow rally roads while minimizing the chance of spinning off a cliff or wrapping sheet metal around a burly oak.
