do the 05's put down close or the same HP to the wheels as a sti?
back on topic. i have no idea but my 05 feels as fast once its spooling, sti might have same whp but i bet more torque or at least a flatter curve

Both ran 13.3 (Car &Driver mag) but the evo had a higher trap speed by a few MPH. These are with a clutch drop as noted in C&D tests.
I also saw the WHP it was close, the evo had like 4hp more @ the wheels.
This is from what I have read.

Everything I have seen says that they are both within a few HP either way.
I have to admit, that when he looked up and then listed the questions it was funny. I thought was a little harsh out the gate, but it turned funny.

hey guys...since im an evo dreamer...i have every single article, comparison, and mag cut outs featuring evos on my wall. I have everything from car and driver to turbo mag. In the Motor trend comparison, they dynoed both 05 MR and 05 STi on a dynamometer. The MR produced 239 whp and the STi produced 233 whp. the MR has a 6 horsepower advantage. The Sti has 249 lb/ft of torque @ the wheels while the MR had 248 lb/ft of torque. But i must say EVERY VEHICLE varies power output at the wheels. If you ask a number of people about what they dynoed stock...everyone has a different answer. This question is very vague since this question should deal with one particular owned EVO or STi. The cars are very close when it comes to whp. The only thing that makes the STi faster than a stock evo would be the 6 speed, but i dont think that makes much of a difference either. There are however large amounts of understeer in the Sti. At willow springs (i believe), the Mitsubishi won the best lap time by about 59 seconds. The Subaru sucked at the turning because of understeer but made up some of it by its exitiing corner throttle response. Mitsubishi was the opposite but understeer was moderate to minimal. The mitsubishi out handled the STi. This is only at a race track. In overall comparison from auto x to drag racing these cars are too similar to be labeled as the "faster" car. In reality, it all comes down to whether the driver has ***** or not.
