j/k for all you Subaru loyalists
You can also raise the rev limit on the Evo if you wanted...which is done with thw Works ecu and in turn would produce an even higher top speed. IMO 156mph is PLENTY fast though. There is no need to go even close to that on public roads.

The reason I said top speed limit can't be changed on the EVO is because I saw on the EVO brochure it says Mechanically limited instead of Electronically limited, not true?
Anyone?

Please spare me with how the STi is a vastly superior car.
Let's get a few things straight.
1. There isn't a single compro in existance from a major publication that has declared the STi the victor. Final count
8 votes for the EVO, 0 for the STi.
2. The pricing isn't even close. Here in the NY Metro area the markup on most Evos is now MSRP. The STi with fewer models being made is regularly selling for $40,000 (w/o stereo). With less than half the number of STis compared to EVOs being produced expect this to continue. (Give me a NY, NJ, CT STi at MSRP or even close and I'll buy it)
3. The EVO is bigger, faster (0-60 which matters off the track since I can only go 90 without getting my car taking away mostly), and far more affordable. Not only that but insurance hits the next bracket at 300hp so enjoy those higher premiums.
4. There is a major problem with detonation in STis. Major in the auto industry is defined as more than 5% of vehicles sold for a particular model year. Yes it is early in the STi life but not a good sign. I'd rather have sporadic transmission grindings than detonation issues.
But hey opinions are free.

I can HEAR the video but I can only see the first 20 seconds or so. As soon as you see Jeremy's Face, the video freezes ! Anyone experience this?
I played it in Media player, Quicktime didn't seem to have the correct plug-in.

Somehow I doubt that anything spoken as the gospel by someone named Trollski should actually be given any consideration... at all. He/she/it is a self proclaimed troll, so don't argue with it. Sorta like arguing with with a mule, it makes you look stupid and pisses off the mule.
