The EVO looks great! If you indeed move to Northwest, I'm sure you would gain an extra 10WHP+ due to our 68 degrees summer. Expensive mod, but might be worth it!!

+1; not a good engine! If you're thinking about it, perhaps you should do it with a base WRX; at least it doesn't pretend to be a top dog and is comfortable.
Below is the stock STi dyno graph from Cobb's database. The number looks low (perhaps it's a Mustang dyno?), but the point is how fluctuating and irregular the power delivery is...

The pics arent working for me for some reason. Congrats on the new purchase. You will def love the Evo more then the STI. Also love the WW paint. I own a WW IX, and they just seem to look alot better to me lol. PIA to keep them clean though. Then one you clay bar and wax the car after a good wash, it looks sexy.
Different strokes different folks

I am pretty surprised you didn't hear about the notorious engine failures on STIs and jerkiness due to stock tune.
here is another comparo..
not just that stock tune on STIs are dangerously lean. AF readings show 14-15
at certain rpm levels..

yes Master 
Anakin is my man though, Luke is so weak and gayish 
Nope, I got that from Orlando
I am in love with this car, I wish I got this in 2008 
it's all subjective but yeah I feel the same but my STI was getting so much attention maybe b/c of its color
I love this car (handling, braking and acceleration ) so much I actually forget how it looks sometime but yeah it doesn't look bad at all
to each his own

That's hardly the point. Take a look at almost any Evo dynograph without smoothing. It doesn't look any less choppy. Prorating a result based on such limited input is just silly. FWIW, it's not as if the stock Evo tune was much to rave about, either.
