Or you could get the stage 1 Vishnu for the STi and get 370BHP and no pinging. Oh it's $2100. All it is is a TBE and an Exede plugin. I think the Sti they tested it on was running 91 octane. Tell me that wouldn't stomp the Evo.

I still don't know what I want. The STi I think looks better and I also like the 2.5 engine, the softer ride, Variable center diff. The Evo IIIV also looks real cool but it seems like it is working a lot harder to keep up.

Re: Does anyone actually own an STI????

Overpriced!?!?! Aside from the EVO, What other new car on the market can you get (stock) with 300 HP, 300 ft lbs of tourque, and isn't useless in the snow for under $40k?

Well for $30,000 what else could you really buy? If the f-body's were still around you could buy a trans-am or camaro. You can get a Mustang Cobra but you don't get the nifty DCCD.

I chose the $40k price because the next car I came up with that a case could be made for is the Audi S4 with a $45k price tag, and though it is a bit down on power to the STi has a lot more creature comforts.

I really like the more rugged feel of the WRX's. No leather, harder seats. That kind of thing gives it more of a sporty feeling. My buddy has a 2000 Firebird Formula. He has a few things done to it so it's farely fast, 12.5 at the track, but it has leather seats and all this stuff in it that makes it feel not so sporty.

Wrx

Having AWD and the fact that it is fast is great. Not as fast as other cars, but i would still prefer it over a camaro, and for sure over a mustang. Different people like different things, a street racer might want an evo, a mechanic and muscle car luver might want a camaro, but me, i enjoy rally racing and dirt roads, the WRX is perfect for me!
