The dealership I'm buying my Evo from took an '04 STi with pink springs, bigger rear sway bar, and exhaust as a trade on an '05 RS. That should tell you something about the handling out of the box of these Evos.
BTW...he said they are in no hurry to sell the STi. Now after people take a spin in an Evo they don't need to go down the street to the Suby dealership to compare it with an STi. They have modded dedicated test driver right there. LOL. He said it works everytime when the serious buyers come in.

A car that does everything well (not necessarily the best) is a great car. You equate performance with the essence of a car. That is fine, every Evo zealot does. The Evo was a definite downgrade and I will not make that mistake again.

The Evo delivers exactly what it was designed to deliver; nothing more, nothing less. In some instances, less is more.
Maybe a little more research would have helped you to make an informed decision?
