hi
just joined this forum because im in the process of buying a NEW evo 8 or 05STi but im not sure which is better.
iv posted on a wrx forum and asked most of them rekon evo 8 is pretty good too.

im more into the evo looks and performance aswell but i just need as much infor as posible before i throw 60 Gs away.

i really like the world rally blue STis with 6 gears and nice looking front end and all.

im from australia by the way.

so can someone tell me all the specs of the 2005 evo 8 ??

cheers

whats the MR diferent from the evo 8 ?

welcome to the forum

Well I think the specs of the evo in australia might be a lil different from the evo here in the US.

05 EVO 8 has a claimed 276hp and 286 ft-lbs of torque ( but everyone knows those numbers are underrated), ACD ( active center differential) , in australia you might get the active yaw control as well ( AYC). Performance wise the evo and STI are very close, it all depends on the driver. I love my 05 evo, very easy to drive fast, and very easy to live with everyday.

MR get 6 speed gear box, upgraded shocks, and vortex generator on the roof, but same hp than the others

F&I-EVO

if i lived in oz, no matter how much i love my evo, i probably would get an r-34, or an s-15. i saw @ borders a magazine called fast fours from australia.- they have lots of info about aussie cars and specs.

both around about $60.000

but recent price drop for the 05STi only $56-57.000

Mr.MR

I was thinking about the 05 STi before I got my MR. I could of had one for $29,000. I ended getting the MR for a few reasons.
1. I like the styling better, meaner looking exterior.
2. The MR handles a little better, sharper steering and quicker reflexes.
3. I loved the graphite gray with matching BBS rims.
I did like the interior of the STi a little more due to the 6-disc changer/better system and nicer hvac controls. I liked the seats in the EVO though, a little more comfortable to me. Hope that helps ya somewhat.

this is an evo forum so pretty much everyone is going to say evo unless some of the subaru troll's come out
