Does the Evo 8? :(

Re: What makes an Evo better than an STi?
 

Are Toyota's caps billet as well?

If they have to pull the motor to deal with the head on an STi then our issues seem academic. The reason I junked my `96 Impreza is because the head went out...they wanted more than blue book to fix it.

Not until 2005 unless you have the '04 RS.

Whoa Whoa Whoa. Take a deep breath and take a chill pill. I was simply asking for people's opinions here, not trying to create any hate. I think you are putting waaaay more into this than there really needs to be. The reason I titled the MNSubaru thread "What makes an STi better than a Evo?" is because, really, who on a Subaru site would answer the question "What makes an Evo better than an STi?" with any response other than, "it's not." OK? You can go ahead and settle down already.

Jebus, a guy would think this was a mitsustyle political debate with all the tension in here. It's just a friendly debate/discussion, that's all. :D



Not sure who that was directed at...

Re: What makes an Evo better than an STi?
 

A more appropriate title wouldve been, "what's better, an Evo, or an STI?" Which is still a very vague question. There will be a biased response, based on what site you're on.

Me being a mitsu guy, I love the evo. I've rode in a few, never driven one (if someone wants to change that, lmk ;) ), and have helped work on a couple. I've owned 6 1g's, and worked on idk how many other ones; so the evo platform has always been more appealing, due to the similarities to dsm's. Nothing seems fun about working on a subaru, and I think a lot of us here, like to fix our own stuff (I believe that goes for most forums). Making power never seems to be too much of an issue with evo's, while I honestly don't see 600hp STI's around too much.

Evo>STI IMHO.

Oh, and if sound is what you're after, go get yourself a "I'm a douchebag" card, and buy an SRT4 with an exhaust.

Re: What makes an Evo better than an STi?
 

Which is exactly why I changed the titles from site to site. Thank you for your input.

Re: What makes an Evo better than an STi?
 

STi's are better at jumping because of the motor layout.

Re: What makes an Evo better than an STi?
 

Yeah, the side to side motion of the pistons keeps the car from rolling to one side or the other in flight. The up-down motion on the Evo pushes the nose down. Everyone knows that.

Re: What makes an Evo better than an STi?
 

Are we comparing stock to stock? or modified to modified?

Re: What makes an Evo better than an STi?
 

Length and width ;)

Re: What makes an Evo better than an STi?
 

Girth.

Re: What makes an Evo better than an STi?
 

Jumping ability, is never on my list when comparing vehicles. Want to jump stuff, buy a dirt bike.

Re: What makes an Evo better than an STi?
 

Or Subaru.

Re: What makes an Evo better than an STi?
 

Post #30. Stay Classy mnsubaru.

I guess that reminded me why I don't go there often. And they always talk about how friendly the Subaru community is...

Re: What makes an Evo better than an STi?
 

I think the guy had a good point about test drives. The local dealers treat their Evos like they are gold plated. The Milwaukee dealer that I bought mine at kept them on the showroom floor. The first time I'd ever been in a running Evo is after I paid for it.

Re: What makes an Evo better than an STi?
 

Mitsu dealerships do need to get over themselves; they aren't selling $100k supercars. Know where I had to go for my first test-drive in an Evo? A Subaru dealership, they had a used one on the lot. I've never had a problem getting the keys to a STI or S2000.

Re: What makes an Evo better than an STi?
 

I would never drive a car where their owners say "Yo my car is in stage 3" So fucking retarded. Emily, please never say the word "stage" around here again. It means nothing.

Re: What makes an Evo better than an STi?
 

The true question should be, "Whats better, DSM or Bus Ticket?"

Re: What makes an Evo better than an STi?
 

That's how Subaru guys talk unfortunately. Their "stages" at least make sense and are consistent though unlike the ones for DSMs and Evos where every shop has a different rating system.
