Especially a car that's pretty quick from factory. Though they aren't my type of car, I have tremendous respect for those I4 powerhouses.

I'm really glad that Japan is producing cars such as these, as it makes the rivalry (Domestic vs Import) that much more intense. I'm tired of racing Mustang after Mustang at the track, and Supra's are a dime a dozen. When an EVO/STI pulls up to stage, your never quite sure what is done to it, and that is what I like most about them. It's a killer rush, especially after handing it it's ***....

Stock for stock, they even trap as high as stock LS1's out there.

No, they don't. They don't put down anything close to the power that LS1's put out at the wheels. Racing an Evo or STI from a roll in an LS1 is a joke, its not even a race. The LS1 will dominate. The Evo and STI can keep up from a dig because they have AWD, but with a good launch, the LS1 will still walk either of them no problem.

How many STI's or Evo's have you actually ran?
You know I love my car, and I think the LS1 is a kickass motor and I love owning one, but come on. If this were a Supra guy you would talk about how they can't run from a dig, if they ran a LS1 from a dig, they would get destroyed, but since its an AWD car, then you say it can't run with a LS1 from a roll.
If you have something against imports, I understand, but you can't negate how good these cars perform.

Middle School...go to it.
Well, I bought mine since I couldn't have two cars anymore (the LS1 and the Buick), yet I still needed a car that could get me around in the snow. The STi does that a lot better than the Camaro ever would have. I also have have been having a lot of fun with the car in autox and am learning how to do road racing, something my Camaro (and the Charger+Mustang would get *destroyed* at by the STi).
And FWIW, the EVO IX, with 1000 dollars in mods will run consistent 11's @ 114~. Don't underestimate them, they are a huge improvement over the STi/EVO IIX in the ability to mod them. Stock for stock, they even trap as high as stock LS1's out there.

As far as the 4k clutch drop, I'm not sure why that's relevant. I don't know anyone (AWD, RWD, FWD) that leaves the line at the strip at idle.

Let's keep this to the other thread guys.
Thread starter, sorry about the thread lock.
Domestic Demon, stop trolling. Talk **** in the other thread if you want, but don't start up this crap in other STI/Evo threads.
Consider this your warning.
