While pulling into the fast food place he sees a red evo being driven by some dude from turbo xs and they both decide to race. Both cars are stock and the evo8 eats the sti of the line but the dude in the sti said he pulled back and smoked the evo8 with no problem. Now my question is the STI really that strong that it can smoke the evo8 in a straight a way that badly i mean come on yea it has 29hp more but the evo8 has a much better suspension setup. What do you guys think?

For what it's worth, we've not had any other STI's on the dyno but our own so the guy wasn't going to be coming over for a dyno appointment.

Why u guys always hatin on the sti, just give it props on what it can do
always hatin like
"2.5L engine. Untested, unproven."
or it has no sound system
bla bla bull**** u know u were gonna put in a new sound system sooner or later
it sounds like u guys are tryin to boost ur confidence cuz u know u shoulda gone subbie
cuz the subbie will prove better , and it will blow the evo away
and i also got the sti for 31k so dont say no bs about oh its so much more expensive than the evo, cuz the evo was only like 1k less

I was going to post something else, but I think I'll refrain. Like they always say, "If you have to show your dick, it's too small."

The Subaru guys at Nasioc, I-Club, Club WRX all make similar comments against the EVO as well its part of the rivalry. Personally I have no prob with the STI but I'm very happy with my purchase and prefer the EVO, its close enough to debate. Oh and BTW, Bees, Disease and a whole lot of PINGING to you

All I'm gonna say about the detonation issue is I know someone who owns an STi, the heat index is 110 degrees or more here every day, we only have 91 octane gas, and he has no problems. You guys act like Mitsu's 4g63 has a great reliability record, I personally know 5 people with modded 4g63s, at any given time you'll be lucky to find 2 of them running...
And the price issue only really matters if you paid cash for your EVO. Did you? I dunno, you might have, but I doubt it. Most likely you put a down payment down and are making monthly payments. I bet there's not that much of a difference between the payments on an EVO and an STi, and therefore the owners of both cars have about the same amount of money for mods.
With all that said, if I had 30 grand to spend, I'd probably buy an EVO, it's just my preference, so don't dismiss me as a Subaru fanboy just because I own one.
