I truly respect that. STI is a bad *** car and don't listen to what other people might say. Basicly the STI is a cousin of the Evo but made by a different manufacturer.

Try to get your friend to let you drive his Evo though

 

Nice website you have, I was just visiting it, nice car. There is a friend of mine that bought the first Evo 9 MR ever sold in Tucson, but it gets better, it is also red.
I will send you pics.

 

Impressive

I'm not assuming that everyone here is an American, I think a large percentage of the Evom users are non American. EVO is a type of car that's being much more appreciated by Europeans than Americans. FYI, I spent half of my life in Europe, but at that time I was too young to drive.

 

What part?, I know Western Europe decently well. The thing about the European market is that the gas prices are way higher which brings me to a good point, the European engineres are master of tweking an engine and maing well over 100hp per liter, that is a necesesity (oil prices), on the other hand they also hvae no choice but to make more fuel efficient engines as well.

I am really astonished that the Diesel market in the USA is pre-historic, it is just unbelieveable that USA still import the 90hp TDI Volkswagen, the Volkswagen has evolved to a 90hp, then 110, then 130, then 150, then 170hp out of the same engine.

We are stuck here with the mentality of bigger better and all that crap. Give me variable geometry turbos, give me some 5 valves per cylinder heads, give me some direct common rail diesel technology..

 

i really am not, and do not want to start a war here, but can i just ask u why u prefer the STi over th Evo? i'm just curious in what your perspective on both cars is. one important thing though, you have to actually drive both cars to really decide

if my above curiosity somehow make this thread into a flame war...i volunteer to be banned for 1 week by the MODs.

 

Thanks! I really have to get the website updated/redone. MY husband has been pretty busy lately. It sucks that it is so cold and snowy out now. I want to take some pics to post up.

We had two EVO IX MR's in Morgantown. I got mine on a Saturday and the other was picked up on the following Monday. As far as I know, mine was the first IX MR sold in WV. So thats kinda cool.
