4 Wheel Slide makes a good point. The intention of the post was just to bring recognition to an article and install some pride into the evo community. If STI owners are coming to this site to post arguments, maybe they're having doubts about their purchase of cars.

 

People who brag/argue about amateur drag racing and 0-60 times are about as low on the racing totem pole as street racers and ricers.

 

thats hardly the truth, I am in this forums because I like to try to contribute some info and whatnot, but mostly because I like the evolution and its a nice car, I just chose the STi because thats whay I like better, but doesnt mean you guys would think its better, both these cars are too much a like to say one IS better than the other absolutly, its just personal preference.

 

The day anyone buys an Evo, it's also the day you gain several rivals. It's only natural to have pride in what you own, and thus think and feel it's better than the competition. This is why so many wars are fought over nationalism.

 

SOB! I was just getting ready to post this... lol

 

the sti has a warranty concious ecu . so the harder you drive the subie the ecu pulls the timing back somewhat

 

I'm just glad I can cart 2 kids around in the back seat and still get to 60 in less than 5 seconds. There is no way in hell I would get a 400HP GTO and attempt to drive it in the winter let alone try and get 2 kids in and out.

Thank God for the Evo and STi, 2 4-door wonder cars.

I could have gone either way, but I was focusing all my attention on the Evo and reading the most about it so that swayed me alot.

I really didn't know all that much about Subaru and didn't care to at the time because I figured Mitsubishi refined the 4g63 enough over the years that by now I thought it had to be bulletproof beyond what it was in the day with the Eclipse. Plus I also owned a 1993 GSx Eclipse so I was already familiar with Mitsu.

 

nice find

 

Its all good....

But 2# place is the 1# Looser...

Both great cars, but the Evo is a bit better

RALLY ON ////////////////

 

Both great cars. To extract any noticable performance difference between the two, especially on the road is almost impossible. Both will attack twisty bumpy roads with relative ease, in the hands of the average driver and leave everything else in their tracks.

I chose to go with subaru. Why?? To me it had more character, and the engine note is awesome. It was as simple as that.

 

4.9 0-60 with a 13.3 1/4... However I believe they mentioned a 5,500 RPM LAUNCH! OUCH!

I think this comparison says it best (Clarkson driving both in Scotland, and yes, as a disclaimer, I will admit that I'm a big Clarkson fan). Basically, it's a tie. And every time I watch this video I keep thinking to myself why I ever left Scotland in the first place :-(

Personally, I chose the EVO because right now, it's more exclusive (as in I see more STIs on the road than I do EVOs). Plus in buying a new car (2006), I like the look of the EVO better (I don't like that new front end on the STI). Also, since there's already an Imprezza in the family (aka scoobybill), I thought I'd give him the chance to drive the better car

 

Dont you wish you were still there??

 

Of course the EVO wins, it always does. The EVO rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Actually I am pretty interested in this kind of review. I test drove an STi and an Evo in the same day. Before I drove them I "knew" that I liked the STi better for a bunch of reasons. I bought an Evo. Different stroke for different folks, they are both good cars, but I'm sure glad I took the time to test them!
