So no. I'm not disagreeing with the X's abilities. Which is why I brought it up to show that Amby didn't know what he was talking about to begin with.

FWIW, we were having a technical discussion. Relax, you'll never get "mod flack" from me for having a different opinion.
No, I said the STI wouldn't gain 100whp with exhaust + tune like an X will. I didn't throw your link aside at all, since it kinda proves my point.
Its easier to concede than find an STI that made 100whp with exhaust and tuning, isn't it?

Who said I was conceding? Frankly I'm going to take the "opinions" of top level tuners like AMS, Buschur, Cobb, Cosworth, APS, etc. as well as the personal experiences of the dozens of Subaru owners I know over what some internet gurus say. This thread offers no benefit to me, I'm the sole Subaru owner in here and it was undeniably going to get ugly fast. There's zero point in trying to defend Subaru on a Mitsubishi site.
It is still a great car, it's just that one of the cars had to be better performance wise and that is what most of us are concerned with here. If I wanted something that had a little more style, i would have gone subaru, because frankly their interior is a lot nicer. The boxster exhaust note is also sexy despite what people say. And also despite what people say around the track it is an awesome car and great for modding just like the evo. I think the evo is better sure, doesn't mean we can't give props to the STI.
Both cars still spank cars twice the price with a tune and a few bolt ons

Well, look who's back.
But you heaven't shown any proof. Your links are about older cars. So shoe us where top level tuners have said the current STi is dollar to hp better to mod for the first 100whp then the X.
There's no point to try to pull claims out of thin air that you can't back up; making pie in the sky claims that have no basis in reality - on any car site, no matter what you own. You got called out, you got busted. Plain and simple.

That doesn't work, and you know it. We're not on NASIOC. You don't get to make false claims and say "go Google it" The burden of proof is on you because the consensus here is that the X is superior to the current STi in basic bolt on cheap horsepower value.

I dog on it for being a little ugly, but in person it looks decent, I just liked the older style a lot better.
