evogsr or mr or sti

I own 2005 sti

Here in canada its the first time with get the evo.

First is the evo x more mod friendly like the previous evos then the sti, are they build strong?

Is it true that the gsr is fater than the mr for 0-60 and 1/4mile?

I like the sti but know im confused, i don't know if i should go for 2008 sti or evo x

Did you ask this question on IWSTI as well? Everyone here will say Evo, everyone there will say STI. Only YOU can decide what you want. It seems to me that if you can accurately describe what your priorities are for your car, one or the other becomes the obvious choice real quick.

That's true, it probably does. The Evo is prettier, but it has about 1/10th the utility of the STI. For everyday usage, especially as the only car someone owns, the STI is the easy choice.

Make up your own decision. Your the one who is going to be driving the car and the one happy with it. Go look at both, test drive both, wait a few days or a few weeks whatever it takes and make the best decision.

Yeah, so I've heard, but I'd rather just wait until I can get a good deal around here. Besides I really wouldn't want to put that much miles on my car that early.

There have been countless comparison threads between the two cars and not to mention comparison articles in Motor Trend, Car and Driver, Edmunds, Road and Track, and others. If you are interested in opinions then there are many options to work with. I also hope that before you make any choice you drive both cars and se which one fits your tastes better.

I'm going to guess nothing, but people lose interest in cars quick these days.

Do the MR. They've already said it shifts faster then anyone you know.

No launching, but who cares. Unless you plan on tracking it....
