Top gear tested the UK spec EVO and STi, this guy is looking at the US spec EVO and STi, which are quite different

Basicly the EVO is harder, smarter and a little faster than the STi everywhere in the world except the US, where it gains a few pounds and loses a few smarts to match its market.

AWD is prohibited in JGTC or whats left of it. its now called something else. i think its now called Super GT if i remember correctly.

the reason why AWD was prohibited was an effort to outlaw the GTR completely when it dominated group A touring car championship.

also for the EVO and GTO. dollar for dollar mod the EVO will make more power. a reflash, fuel pump, cams, more boost, clutch, alcohol injection and your good for about 400 +/- on the stock turbo and injectors and should be good for high 11's in the 1/4 with a great driver. that is around $4000 in mods.

the STi is totally out of the picture when it comes to modding as the STi can barely get 300whp on hte stock turbo. so to get 400whp on a STi you would need larger injectors, reflash, bigger turbo, front mount intercooler conversion and if you want it to be reliable you need to strenghten your internals in the engine which adds to close to 7-8K in mods.

for around 4k you could supercharge the gto for at least 500+hp with conservative boost. thats got to be good for 11s as well.

most whipple and vortech blowers cost 5-6K minimum.

let me piece together my friends EVO

cams $600
ecutec $800
Tune $600
alcohol injection $600
electronic boost controller $300
turbo back exhaust $1000
clutch and flywheel $750
walbro fuel pump $100

= to exactly $4000 dollars. and these are just regular list prices that i named. if you shop around for used stuff you can get it for even cheaper. he could've skimped out on the Ecutek and just got the thing reflashed and save $800, but we want maximum effectiveness when he switches to high boost map ( 28 + psi ) when he runs alcohol injection.

Have you ever looked or even sat inside an EVO and I've never heard it get accolades for luxury. Also the GTO is the most aerodynamic with a .31 drag coefficient, as if the fact that its the most rounded doesn't give it away. Unless of course you actually stating you like boxy cars, which is soley your opinion and I can't really argue with.

yea i agree, the gto is more luxurious than an evo, has more power, and looks better. the gto is not a very aggressive looking or stunningly attractive but its looks definitley surpass that of the evo and sti. sedans are just not nearly as cool as coupes no matter how fast they are.

is this guy trying to say hes 10 or tn lol? he obviously doesnt know as much about cars as he thinks.
