Car and Driver's EVO vs. STI comparison...
 

Don't know if it's been posted, but I just got my issue and the comparison is pretty cool. The Evo is good for low 13's, while the Sti is definitely good for high 12's if driven properly. Not bad for low $30K. I'd buy one...

Now, here's is one BEAUTIFUL Supra. Thought I'd share...:D

I just got my Road and Track which has the two about even for acceleration...the STI is hampered by too short of gearing and the evo is down by 30hp....but 13.3 and 13.4

Damn Scot you have some VERY nice cars! :jealous:

Scot your evo looks gorgeous. I'm having serious trouble deciding between blue, red, silver, and maybe even black!

Get a white one dude!
White EVO screams JDM!!!

dood I need to be narrowing colors down, not adding to the list....but thanks


:LOL:

What about that Supra? That's gotta be one of my favorite looking Supras. Check it out!!!

Mark, what the hell? Each one of your S2000's only lasted for a couple of weeks or so...:confused: :confused: You bought a white one and sold it 3 weeks later? Was it for a profit? And your red one only lasted a few weeks before it "R.I.P.'ed"? :confused:

Uhhh, nevermind! The white one lasted about a year, still pretty short though. And the red one only lasted a few weeks...

Motor Trend has these stats:

WRX Sti
0-60: 4.87
1/4 mile: 13.23 @ 104.6

Evo 8
0-60: 4.59
1/4 mile: 13.08 @ 105.1

did you guys see the slalom and braking numbers for the evo!!

100-0 292 ft same as Z06
600 ft slalom 1 mph faster


i would say for $29,850 those are some strong numbers!!!

the real question is what will the dealers do

Mark, you might as well explain in your sig what happened to your red S2000. :LOL:


I've seen like 5 threads myself where you've had to.

I agree..... from a dead stop street race, I think the Evo would be in front for the entire

Funny you mention... I was at Raceway Park this past sunday and there was this red evolution running 12.5 's allllll dayyyy longggg.


BTW- I have videos just in case anybody can post them i can email emm to you.

that was clearly modified though.... a modified Cobra on a track can run 11's all day long........ (i like to argue for both sides).

Is there still a waiting list for the Evo or are they available at most dealerships? Also, how many EVOs are being made for the U.S. a year? Are they going for MSRP or more and what is the invoice price on them? Sorry for all the questions.

in south florida there's about 8 EVOs per dealer selling at MSRP or 500$ below. They invoice right around 28,000, you can look up the exact figure online easily on kbb or some other info site. 6,000 EVOS per year.

In WA, most Evos go for a few grands over MSRP, and they are still selling fast.

One dealership here has 2 red ones and are marked up $4k. They will be keeping them for a while.

ugh....i know....but the EVO looks SO good red.....maybe i'll go with black and just drive myself nuts keeping it clean. I guess its better than driving myself nuts with tickets.

i just drove a black one...darth vader
evo rocks......i want one

I just saw an EVO today, and I must say, it looks much better in person than in pics. I seriously thought that the EVO was just going to look like another Lancer, but seriously, it's not even close! The front hood is very nice, and also the CF wing is better than I thought as well. The EVO is pretty cool, and from what I've been reading on all these car magazines this month, although close, the EVO seems to have a slight edge over the STI, even though the STI is 300hp. You called it Xpander4!
