this is gonna get flamed but here we go.
this summer i am looking to buy either an evo or an sti. i have driven an evo and i like it very much. i however, cannot ever get to test drive an sti. sog refuses because im not 21. so i come to ia.com for help. i was wondering if anyone with an sti, would be willing to let me test drive it, if i pay for some gas?

Fuck an Evo and their god damned eclipse motors. 4G63 is a bad-ass motor, but there is just something "gay" about it. Maybe it is the owners that make me think that? Plus, I have ALWAYS been a Subie fan, get a WRX or an STi.

Its cheaper to make a STi produce more power than an Evo now... wasn't the case a year ago.

The STi block, apparently, can handle more power than the Evo block.

The STi has half a litre more displacement... which equates to a shit-ton more torque on bigger turbos and faster spool.

The STi drivetrain seems naturally stronger and less prone to break.

The STi has a nicer interior and gauge cluster, minus the seats.



Despite all of the above... the Evo out-performs the STi in every catagorey once you move on up the ladder of modifications and cover every base needed. Not to mention the 4g63's been proven countless times to be the most powerful 4cylinder in the world.

Just giving you my opinions from experience.

sti is faster in a straight line all day long stock for stock.

i've driven both because my friend and his brother have them. I love the STi. i got to really beat on each car and i just appreciate taht torque that the STi has. plus i spun all 4 on the launch and i like the way you can adjust the differential making it more of a RWD acting car

Hmmm thougth I remembered seeing a car and driver where the Evo nudged out the STi in both straight line and in the slalom just barely, guess I was mistaken (wouldn't suprise me) anyways, my opinion still stands, I'd definatly go with the STi regardless of which one is faster stock for stock... Just me and my personal vendetta for Mitsu's and there horrible resale value haha.. Plus the STi wins big time in the looks department IMO.

An Evo IX with a good driver will embarass a '03 - '06 STi in a straight line. I'm not a big fan of bench racing... however, how many STi's ran 12.8's stock? There's several IX's on EvoM w/ timeslips doing it, stock. =]

However, I was able to drive a STi at literally every dealership I tried without hesitation... including SoG.

The reason why is SALES> the EVO outsold the STI like a muu phuccka, we will not get into which one is the best, we'd be here all day. So they did not have to let every1 test drive them b/c sales were not hurting. W/ sales lower than expected, the SUBE dealers had to be more leanient and allow people the test drive. I test drove them both, never had to pull credit... but like you, I was able to test drive the STI more times than I was the EVO.

once im not running stupid rich and do not need to replace plugs every few thousand miles, you can drive mine.. however mine isnt stock.

HA!... right.... might be the 4 cyl with the most crank walk in the world. hehehehe lol

STi > evo.

if you want to sit here and argue magazine 1/4 times.. thats retarded.

in the real world the STi is the obvious winner in straight line stock for stock the only disadvantages are handling for the STi.. however it is not hard to get an STi to handle better.. alot of people like to add front strut bar (Evo has it from factory.. cause it needs it :jerkit: hehehehe @ charlie) front and rear sway bars and the friendlier and easier the car becomes to oversteer to your everyday newbie. however.. yes.. alot of people will say the evo hands down handles better.. i think (like tiff neidell of TOP GEAR) that the STi just requires a more experienced more aggressive driver.. Tiff chooses STi.. and so do i. a much more masculine car with alot more grunt stock or modded. end of story.

like he said.. the evo would be the muscular guy that wakes up in the morning looks at his arms and says "what did they put in my pills?????!!!!"

the STi is the natural guy that says "thats it fucker.. me and you outside right nOW!!"

04-26-2006, 11:37 AM

STi tranny (vers. 8+) will definately be over 6grand but shoult mount in relatively easy. i honestly think the STi is well worth it, you get alot of extras that are way over priced or too rare to get elsewhere.

Subaru - try 4k COST just for the tranny, and another 5-6 to build it.

Stock for stock they're about even, with each car nudging the other out in different areas. To get to around 300-330whp the cars are about even again, before it was much easier with the Evo, but prices seem to have gotten much cheaper for STi parts. You're going to have to replace a clutch on the Evo, but to get over 330whp on the STi you're going to have to swap turbos, so it's about even there.

The cars are truely so similar, that it comes down to which aspect of the car you like the best. People are so gung-ho evo or gung-ho STi that they tend to bias their information on the car, hehe. I have an Evo that I drive EVERY DAY, literally. I have no other car. My boyfriend has an STi that he drives EVERY DAY. Neither of us have had any major problems, and we're both over 400 to the wheels (Or 450+ in his case). Just drive both cars and see which one clicks with you. My :2cents:

And don't listen to Will, he's so jaded against Evos that everything he says is biased, hahhaa.

LOL!!!!!!! And STis NEVER break axles when they make power? Launching high AWD hp cars = broken axles, Will. *coughGENYAcough*. Almost all the STis are coming in for clutches now, too. Evo trannies start having problems around 500whp (And honestly, how many people drive around with those #s?). BUT if you blow an Evo tranny it's 1100 dollars to rebuild yours AND get it built up.

EL OH EL

I have no idea what tricks Will has up his sleeves for the STi... but... my car feels nothing like a stock-turbo Evo should feel. For a better comparison, go drive a *stock* Evo IX and a BPU STi... that's more fair of a comparison. ^.^

yes.. but charles claims an evo IX is comparable to a BPU STi he's nuts
the STi is faster than an EVO IX in a straight line in the real world.

I took a evo 9 mr on the highway from a 40 kick to 130mph had 4 cars and pulling. (it was somewhat a even race from 40-70.. after 70mph.. No chance in hell, and yes.. this WAS in the 350z)

as well as video. (and yes.. charles was @ BP) where Zeek.. (350z who is a bit slower than mine) took a evo9MR pretty well on the highway.. so unless the evo9mr is all of a sudden capable of minus 4 second 0-60 times, and can constantly pull 1.5 60's.. i really dont see wtf charles is talking about..


oh yeah.. charles.. DIE YOU MOTHERFUCKER!

How can his be slower if he runs nearly half a second faster in the 1/4 than you? :D
