sti, simply because i dont like the wheels on the evo. now switch the wheels and paint the evo red, that would be dope.

Evo all the way... and personally the rally look to the wrx makes it look like a hotwheels car... both cars are sick but the evo is just a hair better

the sti is the rally version of the wrx, which is the sports version of the impreza. the evo is the sports/rally version of the lancer.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA the evo, hands down. every time these cars are put together, the evo wins. i watched it once on horsepower tv, read it in a tuner car mag and car and driver. it si close but the evo always wins.

Evo's turbo lag is so big... it got beaten on a strech of highway, against a 120 hp car, in 5th, rolling like 30 mp/h.

The Slow car just picked up speed and actually passent the EVO. Until he reached like 5000 rpm, the turbo took it and started to go.

Way to go, 400 hp on a 4 cyl car. WOOHOO

"As it stands, the MR and STi locked horns at the dragstrip, and we verified these findings on a dynamometer. One stopped shorter from 100 mph, the other from 60. In our slalom, skidpad, and figure-eight tests, the MR won by a whisker, but the Subaru was happier and less demanding at those limits. According to the timing gear at the racetrack, again, the Mitsubishi edged out the Subaru, which offered its driver more built-in car control. We'd love to recommend one over the other based on objective data, but subjective analysis tells us that data is only part of the story. Numbers-hungry readers will declare the Evo MR the winner, while control freaks will side with the Subaru."

in looks I like the EVO. but since looks are ver subjective I see how the STI can win but as far as performance the EVO IX beats it hands down.

see for yourself

I have loved the wrx for fuckin ever but i absolutely hate the new ones. It was always like a beefy tuner car but the new front end looks like its taken off a crappy carolla or cobalt or something gay and cheap. They ruined it. But now i guess the old ones will become classics and even cooler.

way to show everyone how much you know about cars. go put any car into 5th at 30mph and see if it will even accelerate. while i actually believe if that test were true both cars would probably stall out, it proves nothing about turbo lag.

anyways i know this post was about looks and while both of those cars in the pics appear fairly stock i do like the sti's style better. now the new sti on the other hand i think is horribly ugly. also stats wise the new evo 9 just decimates the 06 sti. heres the review for anyone who cares http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Drives/Comparos/articleId=109126

sti and evos r the same thing, if they were skis it would be like the evo is a f4rnt msp, (really good all around but really ugly)
and the sti's are karmas (good all around except not as good as the msp's and better looking than the msp's)

I own a mistubishi, and i saw the top gear episode were the EVO held pace with a mercialagoso the evo is better everywhere, performence wise, it can crush the STI.

If that top one's a WR1 like I think it is, it would crush an Evo VIII. But judging on looks, it's a draw, they're two different styles and they both look good.

evo, hands down, no doubt.

4g63 motor has been in production since 1989, it has been engineered to the highest of quality and if you look at it you can get more horsepower out of it.
