It's the drivers who blow them up from miss-use, abuse, and lack of maintenance and knowledge not the trans. These are not the same pos found in the old dsm, these very strong units when they are not miss- used ( I.e. Dropping the clutch @6k launching on slicks)

I know. But is the clutch and PP not part of the tranny? Granted they are wear items, but they are still part of what make the tranny work. And even still, it is a STOCK clutch and PP issue. Again, I'm not knocking the Evo. I love em and would get another one in a minute. And I'd take it over the STI personally. It's all in preference.

Re: EVO 9 OR SUBARU STI

I think it really depends on what you are looking for in a car. If you're trying to build a race car I'd go with an Evo. Otherwise I'd go with an STi if it is going to be driven on the street. The interior is nicer, the seats are more comfortable and personally I like the exterior styling a bit more. Either car will be able to put out plenty of power to be fun on the street so it comes down to your personal preferences.

I'm just going off what I read, ps the 2010 time attack world championship held in Sydney Australia evos took 1st and 2nd, and then an sti took 3rd. That was the only sti in the top 10... 4 evos placed though.

Cobra4b has about 7 seconds on you in his c5 Z06.

more like 9. Trying to use the idea that because he's faster in his 15k evo then his friends in there cars worth 3 times as much isnt saying much...it's a DE setting, everyone advances at different speeds. Not near the learing curve in a 300whp awd evo then in a 450whp corvette.
