Evo Or Sti?

[JDM]

Well I've scrapped the DSM idea... and no Deloreans either... I've made arrangements to pick up an Evo in March... but a lot of people have been hailing the STi... What do you think??? :stick:

[A//// Guy]

I would get a Evo over an STi because its alot easier to mod.... no flat engine crap to deal with. I would personally take that 30k and buy a nice dsm and mod it.

yeah, I thought of that too... When I get a car... I'll LIGHTLY mod it as such in my 3G... Nothin major... I just like the idea of knowing that I will be in the car for every mile it gets on it... (I will be along for the 2 mile pre-test)

Get the STi.

Go with the STi They look so much better than the EVO and I think will out perform it as well. just the way they look is cocky as hell

just gotta go with what u like man. I like the evo's cuz i mean, i already have learned so much about the 4g63, and have become familiar with the dsm scene. And damn near all the dsm vendors are sellin EVO stuff now too, so if u have a vendor u prefer, then u can prolly continue to go through them. Also the engine layout is easier i think. inline 4, pretty simple to me. The STi engine might be simple to sumone else, but not to me. So maybe to you, u might find the STi setup to be much nicer and easier for u to get familiar with. It's all up to you man. PLUS REMEMBER, once ur clutch goes out on the evo, ur on your own, they won't give u any warantee at all for it. Took my buddy just under 8k till his started slipping. For some reason they couldn't resurface the flywheel, so he had to purchase a new one of those too. not a fun little event that was. I dunno how subaru's customer service is, but i really don't like mitsu's service. But i still love dsm's, i just don't get the car worked on at the dealer cuz they can be hard core dicks. STi has better interior, MUCH MUCH meaner sounding exhaust, more power, bigger motor.... EVO has easier engine layout, better road coarse times, looks nicer to me, dsm shops we already are familiar with have tons of mods for them. I dunno man, just all depends on u, ull love either one

If you read SCC they have done a gazillion test between the two, not only track performance but give good insight how they perform day to day and which they feel is better for different intentions. Just check the issues around the sti release and prior the the evo release and a little afterwards. Hope this helps.

EVO! they are already in the 11s with the stock turbo. Not sure on the WRXs as I don't follow them.

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.
