So, How has your initial experience been so far with the Evo compared to the STI. Impressions, Likes and dislikes?

TTP has its own Mustang Dyno just short drive from where this man lives. Why would he bother emailing his ECU when he can slap it on the dyno?

TTP is your best bet, no matter where you live. Its worth the trip. Im in the Cocoa Beach are, right down the street from you man. My best friend has a WW RS and I have a EB IX both powered by TTP. When you need some evidence of what TTP can do, shoot me a PM.

Hands down the power train in the subie......I drove that car!!!, did two clutches in 32k miles, there never was a doubt when I would launch it!!, the subie was a bit more up class inside, not necessarily in quality of materials but the little things, also a bit more roomy, granted I'm also comparing it to the RS.
However I do like the simple yet functional layout of the Evo

Brakes better on the subie, but also had the lines done, not sure does mitsu cover the pads up to 36K?, subie did.

Handling hands down to the Evo.....I've pushed the Evo in turns and at the point that the subie started to push (under-steer) the Evo will just turn more and more! Evo also feels more nimble! lighter RS

Evo has a more bouncy ride, has better seats though

I do miss the 6spd, subie had more torque earlier, but the Evo has plenty of grunt where i can skip shift without a problem!

I do find myself looking for 6th on the highway......in town the 5spd is fine.......

I like the front end of the Evo much mo better, the *** looks a little to Lancer cheap from the side

I do miss Metric Subaru and MSPT (Metric Subaru Performance Tuned)......there is no dealer in the world that will tune and modify your car to the extreme like mine and still honor your warranty!! like they had.

The Evo drive train feels more refined it's smother but I would never put it through what the subie went.

I love the color of my car, I am very lucky to have found such a immaculate car with so little miles.......

I definitely feel like I got a great car for the right price!!!!!

I will be less aggressive modifying this car!

I like that it's rare also, and the last year they made it!!!!

I love my Evo look forward to making new friends

PS one other thing www.longislandsubaru.com I was part of the founding members that turned this club into what it is, met great people had allot of fun, we had become a 100 plus member family on Long Island!!!
