I live in oregon and all I see is subarus but i really dont mind there all slow haha

 

I'm in the military but I'm not a grunt lol. I'm down for a get together and meet up in the end of December or early January. Possibly a new years get together somewhere that all us EVO owners can meet up and start the new year off right FTW.

 

I've seen so many subies growing up in the kent area for the 20 years I was there before joining the Army. It seems like all over the US subies are more popular. Granted they have been known a lot longer in the states but I knew right in 04 when the Evo MR's were coming out at the mitsu dealer on grady way in renton that I would own an Evo not a subie. The people who are stuck on their subies have no idea that they are stuck driving the inferior car until we pass them, even then they just get all butt hurt and say something like its still not a subie or my car sounds better, some "Bravo Sierra" like that.
I'm down for a meet up with all the Evo owners in the area. I can't make the food drive I'm still out of the country till dec. How about December 31st we'll all meet up for a drive before the new year festivities, who knows maybe we'll find some new parties or places to go. Start the new year off with the new NW Evo Club

 

That sounds exactly like us..! My wife likes driving the EVO more than her Z now too.. She's just having a hard time giving it up.. It was her first "sports" car and it's kind of a girls car - orange with chrome wheels.. BUT, she wants the EVO if we get rid of it..!

 

As far as I know I have the only Evo in Casper. Theres tons of Subaraus, legacys, 2.5 RS', STis, WRXs. I believe I saw a Evo X the other day but havent really seen any before so it may have been just a Lancer.

 

Bravo Sierra... I dig it. I may use that now lol

 

You're damn right. Hats off to you and what you do for your country. From a civilian contractor who just got back from a second tour in Iraq, thank you! Come back safe and lets get some more meets more often starting when you get home.

LOL, funny. Yeah, wifey wants to drive the Evo around more than the Z as well. As far as getting rid of ours, she mentioned she'd be sad to see it go. However I know when she sees that '07 red S2000 (red is her fav color), she'll forget all about it.

 

This! There are definetly alot more subarus than evo's in WA. Up North, lynnwod everett area i tend to see more evos then stys. I have respect for sti's, theyre good cars but i hate how alot of sti people look down and talk crap about evos. It's irritating lol

 

Hahaha I thought it was pretty good the first time I heard it too

where were you at in iraq? and what were you doing? I'm thinkin about coming back over and being a raid operator or being a combat operator . Great money in all of it and your not tied down by the damn ROE.

 

x10 subaru to Evo ratio. Subarus seem to have overinflated sense of selfworth compared to most Mitsu guys (not only Evo owners, all Mitsu). Where we all get along and work together to make our cars faster as a whole, they squabble and conflict each other.

 

I know a bunch of suby guys and they always try to harp on "crappy interiors" and "weak transfer cases" but love to gloss over terrible efficiencies and weak motors. I guess I don't really care too much either way, only matters how fast something is around cones to me..So far they're all slower

 

But their cars sound hella tight....


Actually what kills me is reading their build threads sometimes (not just NW, but all). It seems that their go-to for 400-500 hp is a 35r, and 500-600 is a 40r, which to me, seems like WAY too much turbo for the power.

 

They are always one turbo size behind us for the same power.

Stock the Head ports suck, intakes suck, cams suck, exhaust length to turbo sucks on the street cars, etc. Its very few people that can make them move and the ones that do like Matt Kincaid (local who runs 9.7@141.7) have had to spend alot of time/money to get the car to do what its "supposed" do. Matt has the cleanest 9 second STi I have seen personally and I have seen quite a few of Easy Streets, including Ali's race car back in the day. I am sure its much better now but in 03 it was awful rough, I'll look and see if I still have the pic of the spiderweb somewhere.

Sad truth is that YES, Subaru out numbers EVOs by a LONG shot. But the other truth is that EVO out run Subaru by a long shot too

In the past 6 years, teaching Rally Driving to 95% SUBARU drivers, the ONE thing that stands out more than any other factor is the EVO Drivers tend to me Pansies and Trailer Queens while Subaru owners are not afraid to get dirty. That "utilitarian" view is why I think that the PNW is Subaru territory.

That being said, I've since converted both a FACTORY Subaru Driver AND the Queen of the Subbie-ites, Yes "Subbie Gal" herself, to public acknowledgment that the EVO is the better car.

Which is SOOOO fun at a Rally School dominated by Subaru enthusiasts.

When it comes to representing EVO in the trenches, I do my part... where are the rest of you?
