well im talking about like let's say if the same driver, launched both cars the same number of times, which would give first. My friend keeps telling me that the sti transmission is so much stronger than the evo transmission and can withstand more abuse.

This is a pretty dumb thread that is going to get you nowhere. Nobody has any quantitative data supporting either fact. Maybe sti owners just dont abuse their cars as much as evo owners. Maybe their trannies are stronger. Nobody here can answer your question fully. So please think before you post a topic and do a damn search.
the sti transmission is also bulkier and beefier when compared side by side to a evo transimisson. the sti tranmission is over all engineered better, and his bigger thicker gears etc etc. you catch my drift

yeah this is not a bad question. I HATE when people jump on other people for asking a question. Alot of jerks on here. Anyways, a friend of mine has an sti and from what ive seen he's not had any tranny problems at all and auto x's it every weekend it seems. I'd probably say the evo tranny's are a lilttle weaker, but im not an expert.

the only reason why people are thinking the evo transmissions are weaker is only because of the syncro's. but interms of power, buschur has shown that the evo transmissions handled a number of 8-9 sec passes.
i dont think anyone has shown that yet with the STI 6 speed.
