Evo>sti

 

This thread died 5 years ago! Who the heck brought it back to life?

 

Friend had 04 STI, other friend Evo. I made my choice driving both of them and Choose the the EVO hands down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Well since it's baught back to life and us waters do have an GTR . IRS safe to say yes it's a step up, maybe a couple of hops up

 

........

 

I had a GTR. Sold it and just recently purchased another Evo. I had an 03 Evo a while back. This one is a IX MR. I just couldn't deal with the new front end of the X. The GTR was super fast and had great steering but just way too big and too good to have fun without losing your license. Still have my E92 M3 but the Evo hands down is my most favorite car. It's such a tactile car. It's like a motorcycle where I have my hands over the wheels. Tough to explain to others but you guys know. I have a 2010 997.2 GT3 on order. That may be the one though to topple the Evo though. We'll see

 

although its slower, my lotus is the only car i could have replaced the evo with. i said that the first time i drove one in 06, and i still mean it today having owned it for a few weeks.

 

I agree with the OP from 4 years ago.

an EVO is a hard car to replace. I've had mine since purchased new in 04. I've thought MANY times about trading it in for something newer/faster/different for no other reason then I wanted a change, not because there is anything wrong with the car. But it comes down to the fact that I can't find anything remotely close in price that has the same fun factor along with the versatility you get with 4 doors & AWD.

I've got just over 106k on the car currently in the 5 almost 6 years I've owned it. I think that is the longest I've ever kept any car, and I have a feeling I'll be keeping my EVO for a very long time to come.

 

lotuses are sick, plus they weigh like 3 pounds

 

Four years later...Soooo Drucea EVO>STI.

 

Ive never been dissapointed in owning An evo but sometimes My evo because im somewhat OCD with my car so i had to fix all the little things when i got it. paint chips, broken lighter lock wouldnt lock with clicker ect..then clutch went out.. Its in perfect shape now other than my door makes a little creeking sound while driving..kills me inside a little. Holy old thread BTW and ive driven both..Subies are a step down.

 

For the Mid 30Grand you can't get anything that is touching the performance attained by the evo. 0-60 in the mid 4second range? Haven't stock evo's ran 12's?

 

yeah theres been stock evos running high 12s

 

evo 8's and 9's not X's they are too heavy but god they are sick! love the body styling on them.

 

only thing i regret is the 550 car payments every month. besides that the evo is a perfect fit
