Personally I think it's done that way for insurance reasons. Nothing that a new ECU cannot overcome.

He said they're both ugly. Maybe the STi is but not the Evo!

I love these videos.

Tiff showed us more understeer from the STi which could be made up for agressive driving? WHo here can drive like Tiff? I sure can't.

Top Gear rules!
I emailed the on-line editor a while back asking when Top Gear was going to come stateside. He said that despite many emails like mine, the chances of that were limited despite BBC-America. So, shoot the guy an email and lets get Tiff & Jeremy on Speed!

That guy bugs the hell out of me... I have another video of him testing the evo vii vs. the Impressa... and he picked the impressa wrx. Oh well... to each his own i guess.
