Do the Evo 8's come with HID headlights like the STI? just wondering, I am thinking of purchasing an EVO....I am currently driving an SRT.. thanks guys.

 

Odd that someone can find this forum, but not find out HID information from the specs section of Mitu's website.

How long have you had your SRT-4? Why do you want to get rid of it? Just curious because I was about to buy a WRX last fall, but I held out until this summer.

 

well i dont really want to get rid of it really...I have looked on Mitsu's site...I love my SRT...my uncle just recently got an STI and it making me want an awd car. My SRT is pretty fast none the less as far as speed goes.

 

Actually, the STI came out with HID headlights like the EVO!

 

And they made them adjustable like the Evo's too. Good thing is, our engines don't knock like theirs do. lol

 

kool thanks guys....traded in my SRT last night and came home with a blue EVO...

 

damn, must be nice. enjoy it. lol

 

lol...hey 93civEj1, can u let us know the difference between the two as an owner...i hope u are still breaking the evo in and not redlining it already or abusin it..but how does it feel overall compared to the srt...?? im just asking bcuz if i cant spend that much $$ on an evo, i was curious of getting an srt, 20th ae, or rsx-s...just let me know..thanx man! enjoy ur BBY EVOOOO8

 

They are fast in a straight line... thats about it. Open diff front drive=can't put down power in a corner. Not bashing the srt, for the money it's a great car with a lot of potential but from a handeling and breaking perspective it's not even in the same league as the evo, not many cars are for that matter.

 

oh man, I cant begin to tell you how great a car the SRT is...if you cant get an evo , definatly get an SRT, well worth the money...as for speed and how hard they pull...the SRT pulls pretty darn well..havent gotten to play with the EVO yet as I picked it up last night with 48 miles on it brand new...I now have a little over 100 something...The biggest thing I really compare the SRT and evo with is the Overall look, the EVO looks more expensive(it is...big time), but the SRT has a nice edge to it also....dont get me wrong I really miss my SRT....but now I have an EVO to look after.....

 

FYI Bballin, a friend of mine bought a 02 RSX-S shortly after I bought the Evo (then new car fever swept through our car group - Chris bought the RSX-S, Seth bought a bike, Todd bought a 04 WRX wagon) and he let me drive it. It is not a bad car, but I wasn't amuzed by the power. If you take off those tires and put some w/ a smaller/stiffer sidewall, then that will make them handle 10 times better. Interior is very nice, but I would rather have the power of the SRT-4 for less. Just my opinion. Either that or the IS300. I love the look of those cars.
