well i took one out from a dealership that had suspension work done and it went in and out on 85 very smoothly, pulled hard too. plus, the few grand saved could be mod money lol.
thats not an american evo 8. more than likely it was onf the FQ models that can anywhere from 300-400hp. they made fq400s, fq300s, and an fq350 i believe.Quote:

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!!"
haha, thanks will! well, im thinking that if the sti doesnt handle as well, i might get a 05 wrx, do the tranny swap, and just do a few add ons to get to the power level. anyone know bout the tranny swap and difficulty price? will, you still havent told me what resturant you own/work at dammit!

guage cluster, Seats (suck. but much better than the WRX seats), suspension, HID's, DCCD, bbs wheels.. and much more
The STi in the Top Gear video referenced to was the EJ20 STi, not the EJ25. The evo in the video has the same motor setup as the USDM 4g63's.
The STi would actually be for the muscular guy that's not already driving a f-body... someone who wants the torque and muscle-car-like feel from a 4-cylinder and someone who thinks that half-litre more on top of the Evo gives them the true advantage.
The Evo would be for the smart, quiet, skinny guy who just smiles as he swings his car through turns 1-handed or across a 1/4mi with ease while giggling to himself watching the muscular guy pound his STi's steering wheel senseless in the rear view mirror.
The WRX pales in comparison to either car... almost as cool as buying a v6 f-body. ^.^
hahah, so the swap is out of question cuz for 5 grand thats the extra for an sti.
and charles, skinny people cant drive stis? what kind of discrimination is that!?!?!?!
and im gonna find the vid. be right back.
not the vid i was looking for so im assuming charles it right dammit. good vid tho.
I've never seen that video... but I'm sure that's the EJ25 STi in that video. Notice how he also feels that the STi is more of a muscle-car feel and the Evo's more nimble/agile.
=]
lol he pissed me off, damn JEREMY TO HELL. that fucking haughty bastard, did you hear him, did you? he taunts me in the video. sitting in the sti and says and i quote
"take a test drive, honestly take a test drive"
i cant look at the vid, but if its in the UK and thats jeremy Clarkson driving it .. im afraid that STi has the EJ20 motor.. the EJ25 is even more impressive.
its in scottland, and its an 05, does it still have an ej20? all i know is it has the intercooler sprayer and that its a wrx sti type uk.

that interior is hotness, i kinda like the ecutek sitting in the center tho.
tony, it was the carmax in lilburn. the car is gone now tho. :(
what insurance company are you with?Quote:

LOL, i think he thought i was drug dealer and might stab him.
insurance= allstate, but my family has had a policy with them for like 14 years, and weve all attended actual advanced driving school.
scooby dooby doo! that car is sexay :goodjob:Quote:
