Just curious, but why do you want so much power? Have you ever driven a car anywhere near 500whp?

are you going to shit on every car in virginia?

The Evo would be cheaper and the engine would be more reliable, but the S2000 with a spooled 33spline Ford 9" with some 4.11's would be more fun.

You talk about my comprehension... i said show me a 500hp STi that is pretty much stock making 500awhp. Granted the Sti makes more power and torque than the Evo stock.... but im not talking stock... now am I? Im not saying it's not possible with an STi, im just saying an EVo has proven time and time again to make more power than the STi in the long run. Period. The engine design of the STi is great but it definitly has it's flaws, thats for sure.

Yeah I dont know how some people can actually drive in that shit... and i thought 64 E & W were bad near mercury. I was in the process of breaking down on 495 beside DC.... yeah that sucked big time.

yes this is true, but also how long has the 4g63 been around? almost what 15-17 years?

of course it would be easier to mod then the STI's motor which is less then 3 years old.

but i have driven both, and I prefer the STI, it felt like it had more Balls in Top end, and low end then the Evo, evo jus had less then the STI but that was it.

Or you can buy a car that comes completely stock with more than that, and drive it everyday.
