One of the best articles I've read... well, most fun.

"At low RPMs, there's not much going on, but once the revs climb and the turbocharger gets spinning the power slaps you like a ticked-off dominatrix."

Looking at the pictures, you notice how the Evo seems dusty and dirty and older, while the STi seems new and shiny? Look at the engine, it's got slight rust forming around the heat shield bolts. Probably been around a while.

So, whats that have to do anything? If anything it probably puts the Evo to more of an advantage since everything has had a chance to break in and loosen up.

Uh no. If you approach it logically, it would be more beneficial for the car to LOOK cleaner considering they aren't comparing hard numbers like quarter-mile times or road course times, but they ARE taking pictures of them.
