Mitsubishi Evo Vs Subaru Wrx Sti

Ralliart · 05-02-2007, 01:22 PM

hey guys, after you guys complaining about my last thread, saying it should be evo vs sti . i have have made a new one now, so now here it is.

Jeeepers · 05-02-2007, 02:12 PM

Same as last thread, Evo, rex's sound like boosted VW's.

Jeeepers · 05-02-2007, 02:42 PM

Well, they say polls amount to little, but the rex is gettin' pumped in both polls. Ugly or not, the Evo is a winner.

This is my first post re 4 bangers, most of the time idgaf.....
Though I do admire how good these pocket rockets go ! but me being a family man with 3 kids they would never come into my garage.

If I had to make a choice though it would be the Evo anyday !

The STI sadly there is no beauty in this beast for me, 80% of them are driven by undesirables you don't even want to make eye contact with is enough to turn me off having one as well.

I think they have no seat as most of the driver's are seated lower than the dash

Deadman · 05-02-2007, 05:39 PM

Evo

Ralliart · 05-02-2007, 05:43 PM

so that proves its, Evo's are kings over Sti and Wrx's wahoo thanks guys

ThoR_ · 05-02-2007, 06:12 PM

A friend bought her dads new WRX to church the other night and she lets me drive everything

It wasn`t much faster than her VTEC Honda Prelude. I was very dissapointed.

STI on the other hand is suposed to make the normal WRX look like a peice of junk

:hihi: :hihi: :hihi:

9lives · 05-02-2007, 06:45 PM

driven both on road and track evo hands down

Psycho Chicken · 05-02-2007, 06:46 PM

I just can't bring myself to find anything Mitsu make exciting.

AUIII XR8 MAN · 05-02-2007, 07:16 PM

I still take the EVO.

ThoR_ · 05-02-2007, 07:23 PM

VTEC is off the hook it`s frigin syco. The fact my mate had a 1.6litre VTEC civic. Extractors, $1300 exhaust which made the biggest power increase and a very expensive CAI. He had 17" 235`s on it and on a cold night if you were just driving normal and went into 3rd, put your foot into it and hit the vtec the front wheels would just spin. Thats pretty scary considering its a 1.6 NA 4cyl.

Call them tin cans and what you will. But they will beat most 6`s and alot of 8`s.

If you bag them out you obviously dont know what your talking about

mustang70 · 05-02-2007, 09:11 PM

kinda couldnt care less either way but prob the evo as wrx seem more common,although from my reasonably limited driving of both the wrx seem to go harder to me,and they have a great note with a good exhaust

I seriously doubt your friend can drive the WRX properly if you think it is not much faster than a VTEC Prelude. I've blown the doors off many VTECs.

STi is much nicer than the WRX. Off the top of head the differences are

More power
Better turbo
Better I/C
I/C Waterspray
Better suspension
Better bodykit
Better seats and door cards
Built in shift light
Better steering wheel and knob
DEFI instrument cluster (these are the shizzle

)
Better wheels
Better tyres
6 Speed DCCD manual (strong box)
Brembos all around.

I'm not sure on mechanical differences though.

It is well worth the extra odd $15k The gearbox alone would be close to making it worth it.

Falchoon · 05-02-2007, 09:46 PM

I'm not really into Rexes and Evos but can appreciate they are performance cars. If all things on both cars were equal except the looks I would go an Evo purely because they seem to be a bit rarer (or not as common might be a more correct term!) as the Rex.

As they aren't exactly the same I would need to drive both and read up in the media and internet forums to determine which car suits me better.

MITCHAY · 05-02-2007, 09:53 PM

They are that close together it really is down to preference. I've seen videos of EVOs getting cained by STis and vice versa.

There are more WRXs but apparently the EVO and STi sales are close. One thread I read they turned out about 500 each in a month (I don't know this as fact).

Considering that this country is predominately powerfull RWD territory that is quite good.

Night Runner · 05-02-2007, 11:41 PM

Vtecs.

: They are very crap....my /6 Jeep would walk all over one.
They start getting "exciting" when everyone has left.

:

STI for me. Just for the sound really.....I even mistake the odd few for V8's late at night as I live near a motorway. As I said somewhere else I wouldn't put money on either or own one but can appreciate what they can do and what they are.

My 0.02c

Ford_Boy · 05-02-2007, 11:43 PM

i chose the sti because i just prefer the looks of them over the evo and they sound nicer. isnt the evo lighter then the sti? anyway the sti just looks more solid and better put together. the evo x looks crap nexts to that new sti. the new evo looks like a magna or 380

No. I was driving. And yes i know how to drive just fine i been driving since i was 8 i grew up on a farm i can drive just fine thank you very much.

Wouldn`t be telling people they cant drive. Usually means your disapointed with your driving and have to take it out on other people

Lol VTEC YO!

A 3 cylinder charade can spin the wheels, dosnt mean its fast. A VTEC Prelude would be lucky to stay in the same suburb as a WRX when both are driven hard and yes I have driven both.

all4ford · 06-02-2007, 07:23 AM

It really depends what sticker kit is on each car.

I would very much doubt it.....

Unless you run them side by side you cant make a comment like that

Yep I only own a WRX but yeah I'm very dissapointed in my driving. Next time don't rev it out to boost/fuel cut and you might go somewhere.

The only stock VTEC that will give a WRX a run with a chance of winning is a S2000, DC2R and possibly a DC5R. Other than that an NSX.

All of those are awesome cars too.

Piotr · 06-02-2007, 12:09 PM

From the showroom the current STI is slightly quicker than the EVO for one reason. The STI comes with semi-slicks from the factory while the EVO has normal road tyres.

Put the same tyre on both cars and the EVO is quicker.

Id take a EVO anyday
