At-Least-It's-An-Evo

An Evo would be nice too... they're pretty close as far as performance I'm assuming. I think the STi might be a little bit cheaper though.
STi's cost more.

Sorry I guess I'm thinking about the MR (that's the only Evo I consider in my head for some reason).

So what is quicker stock out of the Box?
An STi or an Evo XIII?
What costs more and is harder to mod, an STi I assume???
The crowd chants: EVO EVO EVO EVO EVO !!! :D

STi like I said you can flash it to get more power. Their ECU's are pretty weird though with their fuzzy logic learning crap. However if you're a man that likes to gamble (which I'm assuming since you're asking about modding a new car :D), they're super easy to mod obviously. You just get a cobb tuning flash tool (or borrow one) and flash your ECU and get about 350HP with a new turbo exhaust. These kits (including exhaust) can be had for about 1600 dollars from here... http://cobbtuning.com/sti/power-s.html#Stage2
Like I said though... the dealership will be able to tell you flashed it. I think the STi and Evo are about the same quartermile wise. The STi gets the DCCD obviously too, you would need the MR (I believe) to get this option. I'm a gadget whore... what can I say.

What about a 350Z?
Between the STi and EVO, I say test-drive both before deciding anything.

older people like the sti..less responsive, more comfortable over long hauls. if you want a car that handles on rails..evo. it's more responsive, a bit more nimble, and are easier to mod..sti's yea flash the ecu, but when you are taking some serious power..I am sure they cost more then the evo, and the evo is easy enough to do..hell, it's a take on all of our motors! anyway, check into a saleen mustang? I am sure it's a bit more, but the one I saw today in all black looked rather nice!
