Eh, who knows. I hope the EVO's doin' bad in rally doesn't mean that it can't tear it up on the track. I really don't wanna get myself into an STi, but it's still an option if the EVO can't perform. I want the RSII, that baby would be nice. Come on EVO!

 

evo would be great if not detuned

 

an evo will be great regardles...

 

but when comparing the US EVO and the US STi, we still don't know...

 

I'm sure that everyone will be pleasantly surprised with the Evo that we get. Even if it is detuned, it's only so the car doesn't blow up (driving habits are way different in Japan) You can always upgrade it. Also, if anyone here is contemplating Evo or WRX STI, maybe you should join a Subaru forum. After all, this is a Mitsubishi Enthuiast's site.

 

Actually, I am part of other enthusiast sites such as clubwrx, i-club, superhonda, and another evolution site.

Don't ask about superhonda, I sometimes post there to get a less biased response to some questions such as "EVO vs STi" etc.

Yeah, I joined all these so I can get different viewpoints on different cars.

 

em japanese drive cars as hard as we do here in the state

the only thing different is they knows how to drive and over here we get some kids just step on the gas hard dunno timing on the gas

i would think the major thing is miles per year not that we just step on the gas and go

 

Sorry, "timing of the gas" isn't quite the difference. They drive cars far less miles a year than we do, so an equivalent car from Japan will receive more stress than it's US counterpart. Also, the US is more about comfort than performance, so I wouldn't be suprised if the spring rates for the suspension wasn't exactly the same as in Japan.
