Get an evo hands down bro, im about to buy one here shortly ive driven 4 different sti's one had around 10k in the motor and it just didnt impress me to much. Parts are expensive and its a bitch to work on them. The spark plugs are on the side of the fucking motor lol. Ive driven 3 evos none with alot of work but my buddies 03 evo8 with bolt ons and tune walked a 410whp sti with me driving from a dig. It was almost even with him driving it.
