Gotta get pics of my S2K with the girlfriends new MINI. Great thread

 

we used to have the wrangler / s2k combo too!

now she has a suburban. pics soon

 

they are nice!
no offense but why would you have two very identical cars in one household?

i think you should kept the S?

 

You'll be most surprised to know that there are some very obvious differences between the STi and Evo. To name a few:

-Evo engine feels very much smoother compared to the STi
-STi 'feels' faster in a straight line
-Evo outshines with regards to handling, cornering, less body roll etc.
-Evo suspension is also much stiffer
-Boost kicks in at a lower rpm in the Evo vs. STi
-STi exhaust sounds better IMO compared to Evo
-Both interiors IMO is not nearly as refined as some past cars we've owned (BMW 3 and 5 series, CL-S etc.) but I do like the Recaro's in the Evo

I do agree though that the both cars share similarities (though not bad ones) like turbo and AWD. The biggie for us is that we favoured the fact that both cars are built to be quick cars from the factory and to make them even faster (almost 60 whp dynoed proven) would cost under $1000 (Evo) - which is currently under works Their fuel comsumption though are lol.

My original intention was to replace the S with a Lotus or possibly even C6 Z06 but decided against them after much test driving. Also the closest dealership to Calgary was located in Vancouver for Lotus. We were also sick of having to own three cars and a truck (both parked at the acreage) and have already had the S for 5 years so it was time to move on.

 

Wow that's a unique way to park 5 cars for sure! what state is this house located as I'm pretty sure certain areas would not permit this type of setup.


here's a few of mine:

*EDITTED, sorry I mis-read the post thinking it was a couple of cars, not his/her....hehe

My wife does not drive stick so she has a pair of SUV's to cruise around or otherwise it's the IS_F for her Rest of the toys are mine.

I miss my 300zx

 

Those are super neat-o! I hope some of those are your significant others cars and not just the guy who stays on your couch.

I hope to see more His/Hers cars.

 

My girl has a white del sol with purple airbrushed flames (has small skulls airbrushed in the purple as well), and lime green pin stiping around the flames. It has some white rims I dont remember the name of, cool little car, but I have no pics of it to post.
