EVO vs STi

[speedEVOLUTION21]

Even tho the STi comes with more stock hp, i think the Evo still rules because of its unbelieveable steering

Yes I'd have to agree this guy knows all of his stuff trus me.
But the Wrx has the advantage with its shorter wheel base too. Dont forget that factor.

The Evo isnt faster than the STi to 60, but, it did beat it in a road race (on Car And Driver TV). I REALLY want the Evo. Oh, and thats a very nice pic!

from a technical stand point, i feel that the sti has the better drivetrain layout, better weight distribution, and stronger transmission. the evo has the better suspension type for the rear, so its less effected by body roll, and its engine is a closed deck type, so its block should take more power. the japanese version of the sti vs evo, the evo uses a bunch of electronics to control its handling, while the sti uses the pure existence of the car, using balance as its main weapon. anyways, the fastest sti vs fastest evo, the sti always turned out a slightly quicker lap time, which was the spec c version of the sti. i really dont know which car id get, its hard, but id pic the evo right now. ive gone back and fourth on which car i liked better, so who knows, maybe ill like the sti more within a week.

The test results I seen always come out with the Evo on top. The Evo always wins test runs (search it) and it was even on Car And Driver TV. The cars are pretty close, but the Evo's turbo is a little bigger which is why its slower to 60 (turbo lag). But I would go with the Evo, cause I've been a fan ever since discovering that car.

no..im talking about the japanes sti vs evo, the quickest sti, vs quickest evo, the spec c always lapped slightly quicker, but its close. the US sti has been softened up a bit more compared to the evo, and the japanese spec c sti has similar steering ratio to the evo.

Once again I still think that the Sti (whether spec-c or non version) would beat an evo because a shorter wheelbase helps alot in racing! + the sti is lighter.

I dont know about that. It might be true, but the results I've read about, always have a Evo doin a better track time.

[CrzyMR2T]

well in a big race with all the cars going at it, anyone could win, cause the faster cars are in the back of the grid, and cars are blocking each other, so a slower car can beat out the quicker one, considering there isnt a big margin in power and handling. but in single races, like time attack or whatever, in japan, the sti always lapped slightly quicker. now the past stis might have lost to the evo, but the new sti, with the redesigned chassis and suspension geometry, is slightly quicker stock. again, im talking about the japanese spec sti and evo, not US. the US sti, and evo, will have a different story.

All that dosent matter!!! If im behind the wheel you know whos winning.
In my person opinion any car that has michael schumacher will WIN!!

last i knew shumacher didnt race EVOs or STis; but i do know that team Mitsubishi supposedly has been working on some top notch stuff for their WRC Evo for the next two years.
