I can understand why a lot of people hate on the Evo and STI because there are a lot of them out there and it's easy to make them quick. Just like in the day of the 5.0 Mustang everyone hated on it because they were a dime a dozen and they were easy to modify. That's why I went through 3 of them, they were fucking awesome to build up and you could do it cheap.

I will say right now the 07 STI with the taller gears plus a 35r or 37r will be a NASTY street car if the stock block can hold it together.
