oh lawd, another ten meeeeeelion page thread.

to each his own, both manufacturers make pretty amazing machines.

sigh....here we go again....

Both
1. Have very good recaro seats from factory

2.Use brembos as braking package

3.Run on 225/45/17 tyres

4.Can use same engine oil

5.Have relatively same maintenance costs

6.Have relatively same cost if you intend to forge out the internals and headwork

7.Respond to mods fairly well but will need to tune to realize gains

8.Should run on premium

9.Can take some slight mods and still be an excellent daily driver

Arguments for Sti

- standard dccd 6-fwd gearbox post 03 STI vs various config of transmissions between rs/gsr/mr

- better interior in STi vs Evo

- traditionally lower price for same model year STi vs Evo

Arguments for evo

- Clarkson said its better

- Better handling and electronic controls to aid the driver

- Traditionaly faster lap times by a couple tenths vs same model year STi

Ditto.

I personally, if wanting to retain 4 doors and have a weekend warrior will go with a RS200 and do a 2JZ-GTE swap.

The initial difference between the RS and the Evo/WRX plus the additional cost of mods to get the Evo/WRX "up to scratch".

Evos use 235/45/17

Subbie is a better car but the plug changing was the decider for me

We talking brand new evo and sti's here? If so ...I'd rather throw my money in a Dust bin

If i wanted to spend Over 300k on a car I'd buy a V6 Camry or 3.5 V6 Accord or a 350JM

Speed + Comfort + They stand up better over the years

i think there was only one or two instances where the competing model in a given year from suburu was faster than the evo. the evo was always better otherwise but understand that it was only better by 0.0x seconds most of the time.

You wouldn't believe I enjoy that... it doesn't pull attentionas much as the subies and worse yet my exhaust is quiet...

srb14, it's an EVO all the way for me.

Could you imagine what power a mere 2L engine puts out against tough opponents like the 2.5 STI/ 3.0 SUPRA and the 2.6 GT-R34?

That's amazing...and the evo is very Agressive as well combined with it's short close gear ratio Transmission.

The EVO8 GSR 5SPD GEARBOX has the same top end as the WRX STI 6 SPD GEARBOX.

Not to mention, the EVO9 with Mivec Turbo MR 6SPD GEARBOX that has faster pull time and higher top end than the WRX STI....shall i go on :lol:

I salute the EVO anyday and time

.

In the UK THE FQ400 (EVO) was rated the highest HP per Litre Engine

Both the Toyota and Nissan are way ahead of the 49G3T.

In stock form their top end isn't quite impressive, they're known for their manuverability and close gears allow for tight tracks.

State the price of an Evo 9

Sounds like a typical Honda punch-line i.e. power/small-displacement
