I changed it. Take a look at it now.

"The Evolution continually outperforms the STI in all aspects, beating the crap out of all STIs just because it super duper awesome. s(^_^)b"

Found this buried in the STI thread :

Cons

One of the biggest complaints with the GD chassis is that it gains nearly 200 kg (441 lb) in weight over the GC chassis. Much of this weight came in the form of chassis stiffening as the car was made to meet every country's crash standards. The weight also hampers the cars maneuverability, transitions and turn-in capabilities. The GC Imprezas were notable for being very lightweight despite having AWD, the WRX Type STi Version VI, at 1,260 kg (2,778 lb), was lighter than the concurrent Mazda RX-7 type RZ (1270 kg) and Honda NSX type S Zero (1270 kg). In this fashion, the GC chassis has a better advantage. However it still remains at a slighter weight by shaving 200 pounds off of its biggest competitor, the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution. Despite these weight savings, the STI has been universally accepted as inferior to the Evolution and is typically chosen by enthusiasts who prefer the pink STI logo to actual performance.

It's funny but true. Every magazine that I have read that has compared these two cars up to each other has the Evo slightly faster then the STI.

ah, wikipedia wars...

My buddy just purchased an 06 STI. Amazing how different the cars feel. Both have their pro's and cons. FWIW he's owned a IX MR (totaled by a drunk driver), and now the STI. He prefers the IX to the sti, and I'm happy with my decision as well.
