Definetly feels more like a race car compared to my sti. Doesn't understeer as much and the steering definetly feels better. Its not as fast as my sti was because i had a stage 2 in my sti but it will get there very soon. Some of the things I wish it had that it doesn't is no HID (didn't get ssl package) and cruise control. Everything else I love about the car. Most likely getting the buschur stage 1 for now and take it from there. Anyone have any suggestions about upgrading it, starting off with $1500 to spend for mods. Anyways i've been apart of the evo community for over a year now so hope to meet a lot of you very soon and show off the new whip!
you probably got alot of heat from other sti owners for making the switch, you went from an 05 sti to an 05 evo which is a relatively quick switch, what was your reason for switching?
hey Ryan welcome aboard!! I think it was me blowin his doors off in my Evo that made him switch 
. We both baught our '05's about the same time and im very happy as well. I went from a '03 Evo. Ryan AMS Stage 1+ im ready when you are
