Default 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...

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

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

Mark, what the hell? Each one of your S2000's only lasted for a couple of weeks or so... 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"?

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