I would have one (EVO) as a daily driver, but I'd wrather have a WRX

 

yeah the STI's arn't as hyped, and technically they're more powerful.

 

Yeah the Sti is a nice car but I got my Evo for $30K out the door, an STi would have cost me $37K+ IMO its not even close to being worth $5-7K more than the Evo. I have raced several and have yet to lose to one.

 

Hmm. My friend is ordering a new Evo today. when he get's it, I'm going to test it just for the hell of it w/ open cutouts

 

Haha yeah they actually make open cutouts for it, I'd love to hear an Evo with that

 

STi on paper have more power, and Evos are underrated on paper. In reality stock v. stock they are about the same something a little north of 300 bhp.

 

The EVO has wider gear ratios that allow it to hit sixty and the quarter mile without having to pull a shift. The STI has a much closer ration that requires shifting at these points. That will screw with the times a bit. I have a great side by side comparison of the two cars from an old Road and Track. I wish I had a scanner to download it for you guys. That issue also had a great review of th GTO

 

Evo's are pretty cool looking, they are fairly quick...and they have awd which is nice, but hey....they are still exclusively for gheys so count me out.

 

Does anyone know if they ever fixed the issue with the 4g63's crankwalking?

 

Haha crankwalk? That issue was resolved years agob

 

You know what the problem was? I know for the 92+ dsms had some issues. A friend of mine crankwalked a 93 DSM and it was 100% bone stock.

 

To tell you the truth I dont, its been a long time since I remember talking about it. Matter of fact i dont even remember what year it was fixed, but I know it was

 

yes it has been fixed for a long long time.

as far as potential, the EVO owns all STi's and all WRX's hands down no questions asked.

 

I must admitt that you are right on that. I see EVO'S all over chicago now. Alot of them are modified. It still fun spanking them around though.

 

Herm, in defence of the Evo (US version) life is more then a 1/4 mile.
Watching TopGear the Evo did EXTREAMLY well.

LS1 (of sorts) link

 

Top Gear is biased and has a bit of resenment toward American cars.

 

Top Gear is biased and has a bit of resenment toward American cars. Even though the new Z06 woops on more than 99% of the exotics in quarter mile time and road tests I am damn sure that they will find a way to make it look like a horrible car in their program.

 

yep.... that they do....

they say its cheap and plastic and yada yada yada.....

Topgear would be cooler if they werent so biased
