Both are good looking cars. How do you like the Evo vs. the Subaru?

Your car would look better with black housings for the rear lights.

Nice change... Now get rid of the ricer tails on the EVO and get some USDM IX's or JDM 7, 8,9's.

I love my evo a lot more than my WRX because its just feels better all around, the handling on the evo is a lot more responsive, has a little bit less power which is the downside but that isint a big factor at all. The interior of a WRX is horrible and clunk because they have barely any sound dampening so it sounds like a tin can and in the end i can say its an overall better car and i just needed a change. I was going to get a 350z but i couldnt stay away from forced induction and awd! But the reason i did not get the sti is that i had a wrx which surpassed an sti in handling and power and i didnt feel like having the same car all over again and i am very happy with my choice. Ill post some pics soon of my new project 240sx HB!! Im gonna be hopefully dropping an Sr20 in it in the next few months.
