I understand what he said, but I don't understand how that is true?
If any tranny is beat on it will break, but out of all the trannys out there, the Honda ones on average last the longest. I don't see a valid point there.
So is he implying that all Honda drivers are bad?

I dont think the STI tranny is much if any stronger than the Evo tranny.. But the OEM STI clutch is considerably stronger and longer lasting than the Evo clutch. As far as the STI tranny holding 400-500whp, maybe so but Evo drivetrains have held double that amount so I dont see how that's much of an argument either.

So we're in 4th grade too, correct?
loll
I joined this forum cause I like evos, I didn't join it to worship the evo. So if you are going to bash on other cars, at least do it in the right department. Bashing honda on reliability is stupid.

Okay, if you believe so. I'm going way off topic, so I'm going to stop.
In my opinion the evo isn't built for reliability, it's built for performance, and the transmission will definitely break earlier than a lot of other cars you see on the road, but this is also mostly due to the fact that the evo gets driven much harder.
Reliability is civic, but boring is also civic.
As for Evo tranny vs Sti tranny, I do think the evo tranny is a bit weaker.

lets just accept fact that sti trans is stronger than evos. But Sti's are 5-6 grand more than our Evos(GSR) and even 10k cheaper than STI(RS)
my GSR msrp was 31
RS msrp was 27
and STI msrp was 36
could be wrong on msrp but thats what i remember from last year when i bought the car.
