It doesn't matter what you get. Try them all out. Find the one you like then make sure you get the neon lights under car.

i look at it as the evo is the all around best car on average, speed/corners/looks/acceleration. If you want more of a luxary oriented sports car, go with the g35. You can make a really fast drag car out of the srt4, its got the FWD advatage over the AWD for straightaways, plus its best power for your money car u can get, even if it is a neon. The STi is really just an evo, just not as good. the second overall best car on this list. The rx-8 is something different with the rotary, looks great and is RWD, but imo produces a ****ty 159 btq...thats like 130 wtq.

reallys its all in what you want? do u want a rally based car with great speed and cornering? Do you want a luxarycar with nice power? do you want a fast drag car that will be fairly cheap to build? or do u want something different, with a unique engine?

05 STI
I just got one 3 days ago... I have been lurking on EvoM for about 3 years now.. and I had always thought Evo MR would be my next car.. but after all those warranty problems and doesn't-make-sense pricing on the MR, and seeing an 05 STI in real life, I decided to go w/ STI. There had been many changes made to 05 models which is basically what made me fall in love (I hated 04 STI's.. don't ask...) So far I like every single bit. Basically it gives you more luxury and practicality and similar performance when compared to Evo's. (and don't get me wrong - I do still love those Evo's as much as my STI)

Yeah exactly what I was thinking. Don't let other people tell you what you like. Pick for yourself and be happiest with your choice.

yeah but the R32's are VERY expensive to mod. To get an HPA Stage III R32 that puts down nearly 400hp and does 12 second 1/4 miles you'll spend about another $30k after buying the car to do it......you can do the same to an EVO for $7k-$10k. Check out the December issue of SCC for all the details.

Interesting. Those, and the 350Z, are all cars my wife and I considered, but went for the Evo because of it's: blistering performance, purposeful good looks, backseat, trunk, all-weather capabilities, comfortable seats, airy greenhouse (the Z's interior can feel a bit confining due to the high belt-line), made-in-Japan reliability...
