What makes an Evo better than an STi?

My list:


Evo:
1. Can go a lot further on the stock turbo
2. You don't have to pull the engine just to swap cams
3. Can easily handle 30+ psi of boost on stock head bolts
4. IMHO, Evo is better looking
5. Take mods better.
6. Evo ECU isn't NEARLY as picky.


STi:
1. Sound cooler
2. Make torque easier
3. more sideways/flat billed hats
4. more bright colored wheels


That's about it for me.

I think the evo is better looking on the outside and inside, I enjoy the feel of them better, and they seem like they had handle more power better.

whew. Settle down.

Accomplish? nothing really... I just wanted to get everybody's opinions and see what the owners of each type of car think is better than the other. Remember, I drive a Subaru...

Subaru's do have an extremely safe body structure. Ask Mark Utecht about that. During a blizzard he got into something like a 20 or so car pileup on I35. He ended up rearending a one ton pickup (cracking the rear diff on the truck) and then was rearended by a one ton carpet van. Afterwards he could open and close ALL 4 doors.

+ elleventy bazillion on the ken Block nutswinging. Just stop already.


Safety features? meh, both cars do horrible in all the crash tests, be realistic, no one buys either car for their safety features.
