Not trying to start a war, but it seems like the latest JDM versions of the EVO and STi now depend 99.99999% on the driver to find the faster of the two.

Edit: Sorry, it's toward the bottom.

 

Good thing the EVO is quite a bit cheaper so you can use the extra money you save to mod it and easily be faster than the STI in all aspects!

 

Umm.. looks like the Evo took out the STi in almost every aspect of the test. Overall score was 73 over 70.5 in favor of the Evo. The reviewers gave the interior rating on the Evo is 7.5. LoL I guess that the interior of the Evo wasn't bling blinging enough to compete with the STi.

 

The test was comparing the JDM cars.....so the end scoring means nothing to us here in the US.

SC~

 

This is true for 99/100 cars.

I've seen excellent drivers in stock civics outdrive less experienced drivers in vipers around a road course.

The most important piece of equiptment in your car is the nut behind the wheel. If you are really interested in exploring the potential of this car, sign up for a driving school. The ones offered at the club level (BMW CCA and PCA especially) are some of the best values.

 

I'm talking about the lap times toward the bottom of that thread. Not the review by the EVO nut (he owns a full trimmed EVO 5).
