Have you ever driven a fast go-kart and felt how nimble it is?

You also didn't even say what kind of race. Do you think there is just some random 'race' in the ether of the Internet that cars participate in? Weird...
i miss your posts that were more harsh we need that right now...

I like both cars, but MOTOR TREND gave the STI the win

like they said before edmunds and car and driver and some other publications and websites gave the win to the evo. With less hp and tq the evo still won. I drove a 04 sti @ the sema ias show and it was such a pig. I talk to this older local subi guy and asked him if he was going to the etown evo-sti shootout this summer and he said no. I asked why and he said because the evos p!ssed all over the stis last year. I think the evo looks better, and if you put the same amount of money for performance parts in both stock cars the evo would benifit alot more than the sti. I heard they are a b!tch to tune to.

I gotta take the STi. They use prettier plastics on their interior.

I could care less about the interior the recaros and the momo steering wheel is enough. I just love the handling and motor.
