If I see or hear about this ken block character one more fucking time I swear...

Last I checked, the Evo won between the two on top gear, a show we all follow.
The evo ran better overall then even the green lambo they pitted it against.
I feel the evo handles, gives better feedback, and takes to mods quite well.

Done a timing belt, tranny, clutch, or even a plug change on a sti? How about even a fricken intake for the turbo? not the simplest or easiest of cars to wrench on. Parts also seem to be more available for the evo platform.

Want the "cool" noise of the sti? Unplug one of your sparkplug wires. I personally don't get my rocks off to the sti in the slightest, nor over that horrible misfire garbling sound. Reminds me of a chick that just took a load, and is now "playing" before she swallows it..blahh.

yea actually - all of those. you'd think you mitsu guys with all your broken cars would be skilled at wrenching :rollinglaugh: (can't talk though, my gvr4 has been "broken" for months now)

they really aren't that hard to work on once you've learned your way around the car.

This I know Carl, and mitsus if build correctly are REALLY reliable, just don't be a cheap-ass or a newb.

I couldn't agree more. The majority of the time the driver/owner is more to blame than the car itself.

Yeah, I'd never rally an Evo based on my current experience in getting parts.

I've never had an issue fixing or getting parts for the Talon, and it's been plenty reliable for me.

What broken Evo? We aren't talking about DSMs in this thread.

I don't question that Subarus do well at rally. I'm just not interested in rally. Evos don't do too bad in Time Attack, etc.

What broken Evo?
Yours maybe? ;)

I was going to say, don't kid yourself. You just drive a newer, more expensive DSM. Give it 15 years, and you'll see.

Are we going to blame that on a Mitsu design problem? If you insist.

Give it 15 years, and you'll see.

That is also not a Mitsu problem. Cars get old. If you choose to own one then that's how it goes.

Once again, this thread is about STi vs Evo...cars that have not been in the country for that long.
