I KNEW someone would ask so PLEASEEEEEE read.

Well I’ve all ready had an evoesk car, I had a 315whp (db tuned) STi, (I was the tard at mitsustyle dyno days last year with the STi hoping to make a lot more than the 276 I made that day) I’ve had a 2g for a long time an always though they were one of the best looking coupes around.
The reason I like the Evo is, it’s a cheap car that comes with BBS rims, Brembo brakes, Recaro seats a MOMO wheel but when it comes to a 4door sedan I’d rather have the STi. I test drove both a lot before picking one and the STi just felt better, sounded better, looked better. (You don’t have to agree but my buddy Jerrid Schleifer was faced with the same decision and also chose the STi)
The 2g looks 100x better than a 1g, and is an awd turbo coupe. I live in Minnesota. I’d love to have a high horse 350z, Supra, rx7, SVT cobra, swapped 2jz or Rb 240sx (I did have a 240 for a while) or other RWD sports coupe but it’s just not logical.
When it comes to AWD sports coups I have two options… the 3000gt or a DSM.
The DSM has the 4g63t so is basically an older hatch Evo wanna be.... and its ¼ the price of the VR4.
New Recaros are $700+ per seat… for the same thing I can pull out of the evo
Nice BBS are $500+ per rim for something I can eBay off of an evo.
Momo wheels are $240+ and you have to buy a hub and you lose your airbag (I don’t need an airbag just need to not get an air bag ticket)
Brembos are $2500+ (just for the front) when I can eBay a set of evo brembos buy some gallant knuckles and be good to go for $1500

So basically I’m taking everything I like about an evo, (or sports cars in general) and putting it onto a body that I find more attractive, for about 10k less than buying an evo.
