Also, what are good tuners for STis? Does Vishnu do as good work for that car as on the Evo? I don't really know the other tuners for the car besides like HKS or something.
I'll say that the extra displacement on the Subaru makes a big difference in the feel comparing each engine, even with mivec.

both cars are amazing and like everyone else say, research and decide. make the right choice the first time, i think the evo is a lot more sexier than the sti but that's me, good luck. I'm sure you'll be happy if not you can always trade for the other or get both. good luck.

I've had a rough day. Please forgive my potty mouth, everyone.

Just to put that in perspective, if 53 lbs makes a difference you should be able to feel a difference with a close to empty fuel tank compared to a half tank. 7 gallons of fuel weigh about 58lbs. I understand the weight of the sunroof is up higher but being realistic MR/SSL amounts to diddly weight savings.

If I was to lose 50 pounds, wow! I'd be a feathery 80-some pounder. Screw the car. I'd feel like ****. I'm a little dude - 5' 8-1/2", 135-ish. I've grown to accept my race car driver physique.
I too found humor in that post that you're referring to. Those few choice words were used mostly for effect - mostly to get a laugh. Glad you enjoyed yourself, but not as much as I.
