Wow....Subaru drops the ball again.

Previously owning a 2004 Sti....the car has become more "numb" every year.

Don't wanna say much more as it has already been addressed.


You can bet that the evo x will still beat this brand new Sti around the track.

they both suck.... I am surprised anyone buy's these cars.... or maybe 20 year olds still look at them as awesome and we are jaded by faster shit??
Evo 8/9 were running 12s bone stock.

About the only thing left for them to tweak is structure, NVH, and drivetrain refinements.

The evo is de-tuned from the factory. All it takes is a tune and the car can pull 45 whp or stock. Try doing that with an sti.

Also don't forget the fq400

Scott I live about 2 min from a certified Nhra track. I have seen hundreds of hundreds of passes down the track. If one magazine tested the evo and ran a 13.2 that dosent mean a guy who drives it everyday and lauches hard at the track can't dip into the 12s. I have personally seen it happen. You can even on on evo forums and see for yourself.

It's kinda like how a magazine tested the s2000 and ran a 14.9???? Does that mean it's accurate?

Here are the official times for the evo and lancer


2003 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII (Vishnu Stage 1Kit) 0-60 mph 4.1 Quarter Mile 12.6

2004 Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart (Manual) 0-60 mph 7.2 Quarter Mile 15.3

2004 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution RS 0-60 mph 4.7 Quarter Mile 13.3

2004 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII 0-60 mph 4.7 Quarter mile 13.2

2004 Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback Ralliart 0-60 mph 7.8

2005 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution MR Edition 0-60 mph 4.7 Quarter mile 13.4

2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX MR 0-60 mph 4.4 Quarter mile 13.1

2007 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS 0-60 mph 7.7 Quarter mile

The fq400 is the same engine though and it goes to show what a retuned evo is and how it can be reliable.

i had a 2003 Evo VII... i had it tuned by Al in CT... it ran 13.4 @99mph stock... it was a little quicker with the flash but i didn't get any time slips.... of course after the flash = no warranty...

100 MPH trap speeds =

The current WRX's interior does indeed suck ass for the price. However the 2015 WRX's interior looks like a big improvement.
