Funny how after we've driven the car, the whole AYC/ACD discussion died.

Usefulness of the DCCD-A is yet to be proven in the tests to come, and you know what I think about that!

Don't get me wrong, I still think the WRX is avery neat car (it was sad saying good bye to it), but the EVO truly rocks!

u know what sucks? im getting my evo in a few days and i just find out that the STi WILL handle better since it has 3 differentials, next to the 2 mitsu differentails. However, the evo steering ratio is 13 and the sti is 15, but i don't know if thats significant. at least the STi doesn't get the JDM interior or that would just **** me off even more.

If you've already driven the STi *and* the EVO VIII, I guess you know what you are talking about... otherwise forget it. Reading a bunch of crap statistics and specs in some magazine or reading the opnions of some car mag writer from some other country about a "similar" car is not a way to settle these kinds of questions.My WRX felt positively top heavy compared to the EVO. Another guy here in Atlanta got an EVO and kept his WRX too (lucky dog!) anyway, he said "after driving the EVO, the WRX feels like an Accord". So much for the low C.G. eh?

They both look about the same to me. Please explain how 4g63 is way better then EJ series in the long run?

I guess it depends on what you're looking for in a car. I think OVER ALL right out of the box, the US EVO can't compete with the US STi. But as far as modding goes, that's a whole new story. I wouldn't say 4g63 can handle more mods, I would say it has more products available for it so far, I would agree with that.
