If you get an EVO plan on putting a new clutch in after 10k miles, I know a couple of people with new EVO's and the clutch went out around 10k and Mitsu will not warranty.
Maybe if the owners wouldn't beat the shit outta their cars, Mitsu would be nicer about warrantys. :fworld:

EVO- I will be pushing around a 46g3 till I die, easy to work on and easy to mod, the same way I feel about the chev 350 V8 ! the sti from what I seen dont have any better of a transmission and a goofy flat eng. but as long as your happy the EVO or the sti thay are cool and not a neon.

The presure plate in the STI has had numours problems i have heard...

I would get the evo. I like the styling better and I know that the 4g63 motor will be able to produce quick 1/4 mile times. Along with everyone else, I think it would be easier to work on.

On the other hand, I would love to get the sti for awd burnouts as they talked about in SCC. It is faster than the evo if you do not plan on modding it much.

BTW, other than eclipse turbo and all the autos, who doesn't launch their awd car hard? The clutch is bound to go when you make a decent amount of power like the sti or evo. All it takes is a few bad launches (cough Iceman cough).

I plan on buying an STi sometime next year. I first thought about an Evo, but I just don;t like the drivetrain layout of them. There's something about a transverse engine with awd that just doesn't seem right. I think it adds alot of extra weight just to strengthen everything enough to be reliable. Personally, I could care less about 1/4 mile times or 0-60 times. Both cars are fast. I think the STi is more suited for daily driving as well. It's a little more comfortable from what the magazines have said. Styling depends on who's looking at the car. Personally I love the looks of the STi. It's clean and aggressive. I'm not a huge fan of the wing and the hood scoop, but at least both are functional. The Evo looks cool, but at the same time it looks kind of goofy too. I just don't like the big triangle mitsubishi logo in the middle of the grill. I agree with everyone else though, in that you should buy what works best for you.

id get an evo and swap the sti engine in it, YOU HAVE TO LOVE THAT FUCKING SOUND, it just purrs and gives me chills.

[ACRucrazy]

Id look into an EVO RS, but would probably get the STI...
They sound so bad ass! Tehehe...

Who knows why they sound so bad ass? Anybody... Nobody... It's the flat four baby. :banana:

okay KIEL go buy a house. your alreay 60,000 in debt.
and the way the sti sounds, have you heard ryan hables evo yet??? hmm buy car that comes with a radio stock. why should a dealer cover a clutch on a sports car?

EVO....with the restrictor removed it will make more power than the STi does. Not to mention the EVO corners, handles, and brakes better than the STi (and comes with a radio).
