...and people are waiting for the gold you spew

 

listen, to all you sti owners. when subaru decides to comply with rally regulation, meaning a 2.0 engine, then you can talk about the evo's, and how much faster you are.

 

I know. I think NOW, the EVO is on a league of its own. Unless we are talking about a 2.0L STi, any comparisons to the EVO should be squashed like a bug on our intercooler doing 100mph.

The STi should be compared with Audis and other 4wd sedans, but definitely, DEFINITELY not our EVOs!!!

I like the STi, but I think the USDM STI does not belong in our rallying roots and bragging rights.

 

in case you havent noticed, the last 2 evo's have no rally heritage being that mitsu only made them to make money, not to comply with FIA regulations.

 

yes you might be right about the evo 8, but if i am not mistaken was that the evo 7 that just came in first in the wrc. and the evo 8 and 7 by looks are very similar, but you are right, the evo 8 was built for us to enjoy and not to run in a rally, because it will probably fall apart just like the subaru.

ps. at least one thing is to specs our evo engine and that's all that matters. not trying to start a war but i would like to see what subaru can do with a 2.0, the wrx is fine, not great like the evo 2.0.

 

If I had to buy today, I would go with the STI. I've always liked Subaru's "quality" along with a better resale value. Mitsubishi's have always been plagued with quality issues like those outlined on this site. Paint, rust, clutch, interior, etc, etc, etc.

 

With my mods (check out my sig), my top end is frickin SICK!!! I've had er' up to 153mph but had to back for obvious reasons since I was not at the track.

For those of u that cry about no top end in an evo... I have 2 words for you.... GET MODS! When I was fully, stock, a 2G AWD Eclipse pulled on me and got me from 80-120. Now.... I'd roast that same car with ease! In fact, that same car would be a joke to even race now...

My evo pulls like a BAT OUT OF HELL LITERALLY ALL the way up the ladder bay-bee! I'll take on any STI.... mods or not.... any time, any place! I hit it at 80..... I hear some LOUD *** whistling.... and she's up to 130 REAL QUICK!

 

In my opinion, if it is worth anything:
Evo is the most complete sports car package under 30k.
and the STI is one of many nice 4dr sports cars over 30k.
Both are awesome cars...wish I had the $$ to own both.

 

Evo is more moda ble, it has a big 16G turbo, sti doesn't take well to mods and the TURBo is TINY, allready falls off due to being too small.

 

the STi doesn't take well to mods? Vishnu added a custom turbo back exhaust and tuned it with an xede and got almost 70 more hp out of it.

 

The stock turbo is too small, the evo can make 400WHP on the stock turbo and have a good topend and hold boost to redline.

The Sti stock turbo is equilivalent to a 14b, which can't hold boost to redline and just flows hot air if you push it too much. You can't just bolt **** on a STi either you have to tune it and get around the computer.

No doubt the STi will net some serious low end torque. But the Evo will have a better mid-top end and make more power with less mods untill both upgrade to a similar turbo, after that its which ever engine can hold more power on a stock bottom end.

 

I dont know what the US STI 2.5L engine is based on. Maybe the legacy B4. but whatever it is, i think the JDM, europe new STI is still a better car. its still a 2L engine but with Dccd yadayada... and a new turbo similar to the evo one. But having said that: onli STi that can keep up with an Evo is the JDM Spec C which is 100kgs lighter and full race spec.

 

95% of people dont have those probs its really like 1% that do and the 4% I left out are whiners

 

Depends on what magazine article you look at. Different tests have had different results. Best Motoring's "The Evo Strikes Back" for instance has the Evo RS faster in the 1/4 than the Spec C.

 

I drove both. Plus see below
