right, cause there are no mitsu fanbois...
as far as i have seen, the STi community respects the EVO alot more than the EVO respects the STi.
BTW i drive an EVO now, so this isnt' really biased.
Either way, i love the IX's but im not a fan of the X.
The new STi is growing on me.
Right now I'm a bit disappointed in both cars overall, but if I can get the faster better handling car and it has the utility of a wagon combined with Subaru reliability I might just be in. However, keeping my current Evo, modding the crap out of it, and getting a second car once it's paid off is what I'm leaning towards right now.

Evos and STi owners a very different breed From the ones I come in contacted with.
Both are cool. STi resemble hippies: laidback, conversation on the line of "How is the family or work." Evo owners on the otherhand: very competitive, conversation usually revolves around the evo or something performance oriented.

1994 1:06:52 / 1:06:26
1992 1:10:90 / 1:07:99
its seems like the STI had always been beating the evo around the track according to them other than two occations...

We're gonna have to start using the excuse other cars use against us...
"Well, at least the X will pull more *** than the STI!"

Well.....i would like to own a sti.....to S%^# on it daily then drive my evo away but honestly about there being hope the X, dont lie your self. Look what happened to the 96- 99 eclipse gsx 
its history now and the eclipse has become more of a womans car than a sports car ( dont mean to offend any one ) I have seen some hawt pics of the car but as far as performance goes nothing will ever compare to the 4g63t. Now post some pics of wide body evo 8's to make the world a better place.

1998, hmmmmmmmmmmm, what Evo could that have been, lets think, oh yeah, the greatest Evo that ever lived, Evo VI (probably TME). 1998, yeah the time when cars were still fun and not luxurious overweight pigs with safety equipment that is supposed to compensate for lack of common sense, judgment, training, and skills

Yes, according to the ever illustrious Car Top Magazine... I'd also be willing to bet that every single one of those faster STI laps came from a special more expensive lower production car such as the Spec C, S201/202.203/204... The Evo has never had an issue lapping Tsukuba faster than any normal STI in just about every test that has been done there. This coming from a former and most likey future Subaru owner.
The Japanesesseses get way better Sti's then we do. They get the EJ-207 I believe which is a 2.0, forged, and a screamer. Great cars they are.
