STI or EVO

[yerrow]

You must have seen some newbie driving the STi, cuase I have seen Evo's pulling STi's and STi's pulling Evos. Just cause the turbo gives out around 6k doesn't mean you can't keep going all the way to 7500rpm. No lift shifting also helps, you hold boost while shifts and keep pulling. It all comes down to the driver, like I said already twice.

And im far from a child.

no reason to shift past 6k in an STi, the vf39 runs out of breath and starts tapering boost

Of course not, never said you had to. Just saying you could. On a subaru on stock turbo; Wrx/STi both start tapering at around 5k. They both hit max boost around 4-5k. The 39 could be pushed til redline, I mean no need of course. But shifting around 7k isn't going to make that much of a diffrence than if you were to have shifted at 6k.

flip a coin, heads EVO tails Sti, either way, you won't be able to tell the difference.

actually you would benefit by shifting by 6k since you wouldn't lose ground in the 1500 rpms that the vf turbo falls flat on its face. during that 1500 of rpms that boost is tapering...you are NOT accelerating and you are losing ground to another car that is

and if you correctly shifted before 6k it would put you right back in the sweet spot of the powerband so that you will still be accelarating with plenty of rpms to go.

i can rev my all the way to boost cut, but its not doing me any favors since i'm losing boost

so yes there is benefit on a stock turbo'd subaru in shifting before 6k

power capability - evo, they can handle more for less money
but i still love my wrx, i love the wrxatl community we have here too! im sure evos are just as friendly.

evo evo evo evo..evo.
lol

[cobalt9123]

only thing i don't like about mitsubishi or the evolution is that they don't offer a lower powered version(like the wrx impreza) it's just the high powered evolution or the **** lancers, lol, they need one with about 225HP like the imprezas, that'd be awesome.

You can get a barely used Evo for super cheap right now. I'm talking very low miles and fantastic condition for around 20 grand. You can't beat that!

There are plenty of guys that have made 540whp on a stock sti motor, I'm not sure that you can do anymore than that with a stock evo.

evo FTW

I have always liked evo's! But ya see more evos on the road then you do sti's! Sti's do have a very unique exhaust tone, i dont really like it but it may grow on me!

[Mayniac]

You can make up your mind after you see this vid.

^^^ STI FTW!

plus sti wingless looks perdy goood, but EVO wingless looks hedious!

[dp32185]

i've personally driven a friend's STi and fell in love. it's got so much power (it's hardly stock minus the exhaust and some other minor mods) and handles like a dream. in a turn where my s2000 would've broke loose...the STi held quite nicely. im sure EVO is on the same page. whichever you get AWD FTW.
