You gotta be kidding me. Both of these cars are owned by more scrawny teenagers living in their parents basement than anything short of a riced up Civic.

Sorry to be the devils advocate but it seems stupid to call a car "the better one" based on one lap around a track.

True That. For People Who Drives On The Street They Are Not Gonna Notice The Difference At All.

Don't have to be sorry... The only place that I see a STI doing better than a evo these days are on the rally circuit. Although mitsu did revamp the whole car a year ago, and they are finally starting to catch back up to the pack.

If you want some better comparison - try same generation RS/MR vs Spec C, GS vs STi, FQ320/400 vs Type25/S203 or even USDM EVOs vs STi.

Personally I recall seeing more STIs coming out on top than EVOs in Best Motoring videos.
right, so we can't compare two cars since they're not sold here since our versions are different. i fully agree.

but it makes more sense to compare the japanese versions that aren't sold here either, since they're driven by different people on tracks with more cars and thus more variables--because it's BMI? yeah, ok. at least try not to look so silly.
