They really liked both cars but decided the STi was their pick. They couldn't explain why. Then Stig took them both round the track and the Evo was just over 1 second quicker than the understeering STi. According to their chart, the only car faster than the Evo (it was an FQ300) was the Zonda (by almost 5 seconds!!!). The Evo was quicker than the Murcialago they had previously tested. Given the test results they then decided, again, which car they would take and picked the STi once more. Again, they couldn't explain their reasoning.

They like the scooby because it's more composed, less technical, less thought required. But forget not that we're talking about the FQ300 vs. the STi 2.0, so it's kind of a different ball game from the USDM.

And US STi is a Spec-C with a bigger engine, a little softer springs ($350 for a set of pinks fixes it) and some more creature comfort.
