That's the worst review I have ever seen!

I like best motoring new video better. Basically the new STi won over the Evo X (as far as performance) but this was for the JDM models.

Our USDM models should be the same a 3,373lb STi > 3594lb Evo X MR. Although the MR might be a little better in the curves and be able to achieve more grip due to electronics and gripper tires (Dunlop in the STi lol)

To me I don't care about civility or road manners since I have another car for that. All I care about is performance and the new versions of both vehicles doesn't improve enough over previous versions to make me want to go buy them.

If you are into performance and can afford a car a little over 40K just get a LS3 08 Vette. With a few basic mods you get Z06 performance and also respectable gas mileage. To me the extra $$$ is well worth it (talking strictly about performance or tuning potential)

3,600 pound Evo lol

"I could only recommend the fans to stick to their Evo 9 or WRX STi 2006 until Ralliart or Subaru prepares something really worth it (2008 RA-R??)."

So, anyone see good things in store for our resale value?
