Especially on the Mitsu, 30k dollars and I get the same POS interior that is on that econo-box commuter they still call a Lancer? Right, I think I am heading straight over to Subaru with that cash.

 

well you do get Recaro seats, no boost gauge though.



No one on this board will buy either car so who the hell are

you guys kidding anyhow.

 

Ummm, the new Viper beat the Evo in the braking test in whatever magazine that did that head-head contest this month. But that's just splitting hairs.



Everywhere there has been both the Evo and STi in the same market over the years, the Evo always seems to win over the drivers. It's not all just about numbers and parts on a spec sheet. Drivers prefer the Evo over the STi. Why should these two be different?

 

are there 1/4 mi times out yet for the STI?

 

Easy. STi... no questions asked. Sure the EVO VIII has fancy torque splitting differentials and the most advanced suspension system in the US, but the STi also has not only 300 ponies, but 300 lbs of torque! That's more powerful than the JDM spec STis. About time we got something better out here... I saw the Neon on the Freeway the other day. Sure it sucks, but I'm happy to see American companies getting into the compact car market. It's a much better step up from the supercharger that GM made for the sunfire. A little competition is always good for the better companies.

 

i changed my mind after my friend got a SRT-4 a few weeks ago and i finally saw it on friday



those things are bad ***....very bad ***....hehe we replaced his downpipe yesterday, and damn that thing wants to shoot flames sooooo ******* bad..... it sounds like popcorn ... pop opo pop popp opo po po po p VRRRRMMMMMM popopo p pop o po po popop po .....



hehe...its fast too...its a cool car and im glad they made it, cept it spins the tires too much....too much power for FWD

 

sti

 

The SRT-4 shouldn't even be included in this comparison.. its 10 grand less than the Evo and STI. I'm not a domestic car fan but for $20K, I'd buy that thing for brute power and Dodge/Chrysler definitely knows how to build a turbo 4 banger that will last, not only from their own experience, but from previous partnering with Mitsu.



Apollo, how is it sad that the 4G63 is running 12 pounds?? That engine has been around and refined since 1989. Its one of the strongest 2.0's to come out of Japan ever... they can handle 20 psi or more with no internal upgrades... very strong bottom end.

 

yea..... 4G63 and 3SGTE are the best 4 cyls from japan....

 

yeah. i agree the 3SGTE was pissin in the MR2, and the 4G63 has incredible aftermarket support.
