in a road and track comparison the evo came out slightly ahead of the STI..but they are both tops car very similar when graded...what do u like better. Then reading the SRT-4 is a hot car ...i guess the USA is stepping it up a bit...iight

i think theyre all cool cars, but all are ugly...
if i had to pick it would be the STi the old STi are hot esp the rally version.....evo is fugly (shoulda kept the 6 and under designs)...neon is still ugly - claling it a SRT-4 doesnt change the fact that its a pill with a hood scoop - fast maybe - FWD yes
i cant wait for the neon to get popular with american muscle heads....."THIS is american??!?? but its 4 cyl...and turbo...wtf?!?!!" then theyll buy one...and be happy....

the srt-4 needs a focking limited-slip. only one spinning wheel is never a good thing on a car that coming from the factory is putting out about 240hp at the crank (instead of the rated 215 that dodge says) is never a good combination.
oh and yes the evo is butt ugly.
the sti is my choice if i had the loot to buy one, my fave part is that hood scoop, it could eat up the ricers.

Mitsubishi=AWD+VC limited slip center & rear+turbo+$30K
Subi STI=300HP+AWD+Mechanical limited slip front & rear+computer controlled or

my friend's riend just bought one, we've yet to ride in it yet tho, i will be sure to make a full report tho.
oh and one thing to note in the sti vs evo thing. the STI comes with no sound system... at all. for a radio and speakers add a $1k option package. Also the sti boosts 14psi, the evo 18psi... and the evo still makes 30 less hp.

dude are you serious? no stereo? never heard of that one....
personally i woulndt want one of those cars though....who wants a car that modded from the factory its got FMIC big turbo ricey kit altezzas etc etc etc.....i would rather take a 2.5 RS and mod the **** out of it - it looks hotter and will run better
