the EVO responds well to mods, and it got a better 1/4 mile time. the STI has a excess of 155mph as top speed and the EVO is limited to 157mph.IMO the EVO is hotter

 

I'd rather build engines than drivetrains if I were you guys. But personally, if I had one I'd have to build both, so it wouldn't matter. I'm just after the displacement.

 

the only way I would buy sti is take off the wing off and put rs hood on and put fmic.

 

I voted for STi because, well, I always thought that Evo would be better than STi, somewhat cheaper, better track car, better handling, etc., you know all the mags/shows talk about. but, it's a 5 spd, and I heard that Evo9 is due soon with a 6 spd and little more power.

I rather get the STi and add the stereo and enjoy the ride and keep it stock as much as I can. I already have a nice track car but to get the lower end torque I've decided to get the STi as my second car by end of this year. I'll see if they'll bring out the Evo9 then.

(there will always bias votes because people prefer one over the other. if not, you'll get an honest answer like, "test drive the car and YOU decide which is best for you")

 

well im taking the IC off my car tonight to sell it and some other shit to it, then im going to subby to do a test drive with my mom, they better let me!

 

IM A TRAITOR !!! haha

 

just remember, just about all wrx aftermarket parts are interchangeable the sti, and the engine management is coming out soon which means big power numbers... the interior is nicer on the sti too... and u can always get this stuff hahah http://www.airpowersystems.com.au/us...i/2004_sti.htm

Sorry, you are mistaken as well. STi transmissions are impervious to great amounts of power. But the WRX is a different story, and a different transmission.

 

Out of both, I would rather have the STi. I think the interior to the EVO is a bit ugly.
