    So like in my case i am not not sure what the next whip will be but if i wanted a evo i would get a evo8 just cause they run a little cheaper and ppl or willing to drop the price a little because of the new models,and on top of that i would have money to put it into the shop as soon as i got it ...VS... me going and getting a new 1 dropping 30k+ and struggle to mod it,so why buy a car u can't go all out with it as soon as u get it when the reason u got it was to go fast?

    Man you sound defensive. Like I said there are a lot of people on here like that. That wasn't saying you were one of them. I sold my evo because of bigger and better things, I want to do. I bought that car, and went straight and dropped 8k into it. I just sold my cobra, and I am looking to buy a Porsche or a GTR. So many people put themselves in debt messing with cars they can't afford, to try and be cool. Fact is still that most on here can't afford the car they own now.

    So is the insurance fully in your name? cause the state trooper has nothing to do with insurance.

    Alot of people in this thread, have no clue what they're talking about.

    Both cars, are great! Go out and test drive them, get a good feel on both and really pay attention to their power and handling abilities. Like I said before, these two cars are very close to each other stock.

    Im not a fanboy like some people in this thread. :p but instead of saying go with this or that, do some research, and go from there. I personally haven't run into any other problems than my tranny, and thats because I have a Wrx. You wouldn't have to worry about that with an STi. But me, with only 15-1600 dollars in mods, im alot faster than some other Evo's and STi's running around.

    An 07 STi has alot more potential than the previous years, cause of it's longer gears and other small upgrades in it's motor. I have friends with Evo's, yes they're quick, but man, they're like roaches. Everywhere you look you see an Evo, lol I wouldn't like to see a car that I have twice or three times a day.

    But thats just me

    STi---- better residual (sp?) value, stronger driveline and very good trannys in the 07
    EVO 9- responds amazing to mods- easy to mod - look great too.

    STi sticks to the tracks more
    EVO seems to becoming a 1320 beast

    I wish i could have both a sti and a evo honeslty.. but that aint gunna happen

    yeah that would be great

    to own an evo you have to know i would say a good bit about cars or your gonna pay out the ass in maintence and getting it modded. But if you a decent mecahnic you should be alright. I do everything on my car oil changes,clutch,cams,all fluids all of my mods were done by me thats how i can afford mine and do the mods i want

    Turbo your S. They are more of an underdog and when you can spank an evo or sti in the blink of an eye it's more fun

    New car:
    95 S14 with RB25DET (stock boost)

    Old car:
    Turbo S2000 400hp/285tq on 9:1 comp & 11psi

    I highly recommend you go with an Evo. I too test drove the STI and Evo before coming up with my decision.

    The Subaru had some very nice torque feel to it but the handling wasn't really what I was particularly looking for.

    When I test drove the Evolution I fell in love with it within acouple minutes of driving it. So I bought myself an Evo aweek later.

    Don't get me wrong, the Impreza is a great car too. My sense of driving and feel just felt better in the Evo than the STI.

    Either way keep us updated.

    evo 16g is bigger than the vf39




    and this is an evo IX next to an evo VIII


    VF39's from what I hear are very prone to cracking. vf34's are usually the way to go with wrx's, i'm thinking of moving up to an evo 16g or if i want to kill myself, an 18g

    in almost every aspect the two cars are the same; all wheel drive turbo monsters. If you look at the highlights from road and track comparisions and top gear you will see that they all think they are brothers from another mother . BUT the evo has one huge thing going for it that the subie does not and that is a motor that has been in production for what almost 18-19 years so that should tell you which one will last longer. There was an issue of sport compact car thats cover story was 1000 horsepower evo and all 4 of the 5 cars that passed the test were street cars. The most powerful street subie can only pray for 700-800 wheel HP. so i say go with the EVO. But the subies boxer engine sounds cool as sh*t.
