as far as it goes for me, both are cool. i have several friends with evo's and sti's. i have acutally had another evo owner that lives in the same area of base housing as me follow me home one afternoon to talk cars. but usually either way it goes, we always wave or flash here.

I've nodded and/or waved at WRX/STi owners before, but none have waved back yet. They usually look away. Every Evo I've waved at has waved back & smiled (I think I've seen 4 or 5 here in the central valley)...

I saw a man who looked like he was at least 60+ years of age driving a Subaru. I thought that was pretty cool

Alot of times at night I don't realize I am driving past another evo until I am next to it. Subbys the same thing. But I wave or give a thumbs up to everyone with a cool car, or if they wave or give me a thumbs up. Today A 3rd gen supra Flashed his lights and waved I waved back. Only time I got snubbed was when I came up next to a subby STI at a stop light and My windows were already down and so were his, He was looking at my car going ohh its an evo in his head I guess. I Said you got a nice car, trying to start a good thing, and he said "so whats it to you." in a sort of sarcastic voice. Its pretty annoying when people are not respective of other car enthusiasts, were all alike just we prefer or drive different cars. If there was no evo I would be in a STI.

90% of evo owners have given me a wave but I am batting a .000 with STI owners...kinda makes you feel stupid when you wave and they dont wave back.
Srt-4s around here always rev and Mustangs for that matter.

I dont wave to people when i am in my car makes me feel like a moron but i will do a nod or a tilt of the head so the driver understands that i understand we both enjoy driving awesome cars STI or Evo.
It's cause those squiddies didn't take the msf class and just run off of permits. The msf class actually instructs you to wave at other riders .
