What do your posts have to do with "9/11/04 STI & WRX vs. EVO - the Ultimate Showdown - Englishtown"?
Oh, yeah, absolutely nothing and you're just trolling.
You can leave now.

Someone post that Special Olympics pic now 
there have been fast WRX's and fast Evo's for a long long time now. Speaking from personal experience on both cars, it is far easier and cheaper to build an Evo to run 11's than a Subaru....and the Evo will generally win on the reliability side as well.
As for the ESX WRX vs whomever's Evo, I think the races in the future will show they are alot closer matched than people realize here.
The arguing back and forth about "I built my car for $XX money and it ran .00034 seconds slower than this person's car is pretty useless IMHO. I mean my mom's V6 Accord runs around 5.5 seconds slower in the 1/4 mile than this event's winner. That's like now...........to now!
Both cars are what they are - tremendous bangs for the buck with a ton of potential in the aftermarket. The Evo can be built far cheaper than the WRX or STi can.....it's been proven time and time again. Citing the 'weaknesses" that the Sti has in it's stock form are not the way to advance your cause - you know the car's limitations (or think you do) - now it's up to the owners to find their own path around those limitations, or do a better job exploiting the car's positive attributes

I'm not playing any favorites mind you...just calling it as I see it. I've been involved with both Evo's and WRX's long before either were on our shores, so I have a good grasp on what it takes to build each one properly and the budget's involved.
In terms of the STi/WRX, I hope you did not take my comments as putting them down - quite the contrary. They are awesome platforms and have a ton of aftermarket potential. Like any car out there, they have their shortfalls. It's up to enthusiasts and tuners alike to find those and overcome them. Where no solution is offered, there are often ways to exploit another area of the car to the point where the shortfall is much less pronounced.
