I really like it, always been partial to wagons. If only the EVO wagon was available in the US.

Its so hard with those #s allot of it is the driver. I know with a few mods you could make either car do what you want. I feel it comes to personal preference.

Just a note, that 1/4 was done on Cali crap 91 octane. Subaru recommends 93 octane but it'll run on 91. So there's a little more speed to be had in that 1/4.

I agree, we should have the option (and maybe we will if they get certified for side air bag use).

I still think those seats are pretty nice for a DD.

No and yes.

Evo IX's can run 12's stock. So far, the X hasn't come close.

What it looks like is Suby wins in straight line this time, but is still losing in handling ability (.90g vs. .99g).

I like it. Although the JDM gets better goodies, AND it gets the 2L w/the mitsu ts turbocharger.
