that would be all of them?

 

RS=power nothing, no sound deadning, no radio

MR=6sp, vortex generator, sunroof

 

 

 

your insurance would equally suck with either car :lol:

I would prefer and STI over and Evo MR anyday. Even a STI limited over a Evo MR. One even the limited STI is cheaper than a evo MR, more HP, more TQ, bigger motor, AND it comes with a STOCK bullet proof 6 spd transmission.

 

I've heard rumors that the 5spd in a Evo RS and Evo IX is stronger than a 6spd evo MR tranny, EVEN STILL, more people break the evo 5spd, than anyone has broken the STI 6spd.

 

Im sure they are out there, BUT 2 years of being on car forums, i've heard of MAYBE 1 or 2 STi's bust there tranny's.

 

Were talking 500+HP for a while before they broke. Even still, those 6spds are rated to handle 500 or more.

 

That being said, in my opinion, STI hands down just for the tranny, and the extra .5 deplacement alone.

Depends on your goals, stock they are pretty equal. The stock turbo on the EVO is a little more powerful though. Handling I would give a slight edge to the EVO but not nothing a descent driver couldn't make up. But Subaru quality also surpasses Mitsubishi's's.

STI has better:

Performance (especially low-end and throttle response)

Interior

Ride

 

Evo has better:

Handling

 

Overall, I prefer the Evo

 

Out of the three Evos, I like the Evo Base and the Evo RS. I think the Evo MR is way over priced and it is slower than the $7k cheaper RS!

2 different cars

 

do your research, sit in them, and think of everything

 

its a long debate between the two, heck you can probably google this topic

 

edit:

google FTW

If you're into modding, the EVO is cheaper to mod and get better results than the STI.

 

Stock for stock the EVO's handling is way better than the STI

I have driven both extensively, and honestly, both are tremendous performer's with a lot of potential. Drive them both, decide which one you like best, then go for it.

The upcoming Evo X is gonna be tough to beat. Suburu has to pull out some of the good stuff.

 

 

:whore:

 

 

That's exactly what I thought too. But then I talked to Reza over at Santa Monica Subaru. He says that Subaru is not trying to keep up with the Evo anymore,..........."They want to Beat it". Evidently from what he told me the new STI is going to be SICK. Way more HP & Handling than the new EVO.

 

 

Now we just have to wait and see if SOA has the balls to go through with it.

:munch:

I'm a big fan of the 4g63 motor, having owned/built/tuned a few of them in the past. I'm also a fan of the ej257 - more displacement and the boxer configuration is nice.

 

Which car trips your trigger? Drive both, evaluate, choose.
