I like the evo8 also But some of the reason this baster :roll: bought the Sti over teh evo8. Is that there is too many evo8 in P.A.compare to Sti.In other words the Sti are rare compare to teh Evo.Another reason is I LOVE the look . :shock:Nd4sped said:drooooooooooooooooooooooooool.............................eeewww I likie it a lot.......
I liek bot the STi and the EVO's though...But I do beleive the EVO MR is a step above the STi though
there were more evos sold because the evo was a better performer than the sti in the magazine reviews; that's what sold the cars: the perception that the evo is a better value. but dont' forget, the wrx population is massive.blitzgsr1997 said:I like the evo8 also But some of the reason this baster :roll: bought the Sti over teh evo8.

quarter mile times are one thing, but look at the trap speed. the evo's is a good 2 mph faster. a full second faster in the road course. dynoes higher. and please remember: the only real drivetrain mod from the MR to the regular evo is the 6-speed, so expect the evo RS, which is a good 5.5k less than the STi, to be even faster than the MR, thanks to the 5-speed and lower weight.blitzgsr1997 said:As to your comparison of teh evo Mr being a step above the Sti you are WRONG. They are equal in 0 -60 and 1/4 times.

Look at the 0 - 60 times. The evo mr has more power and can only mustar 4.4
The Sti wr1 is less expensive and is more rare than The Evo mr Fq340
well, the sti is faster down low? is that a surprise? it's got a .5 liter advantage. yet it loses 2 mph in the quarter mile? that's ridiculous. and you act as though the STi didnt' get any revisions to the '05 models. the increase in wheel size, the revised steering, the suspension was touched up, i mean hell, those are MAJOR revisions when all considered. they didn't up the price and i'll wager that it'll bite them in the ass when it comes to profits.blitzgsr1997 said:This are the usdm specs of the 2005 Sti and the evo Mr
