people that have something to prove bother me. the people that talk shit make the rest of us look like assholes, and its not really fair. i go out of my way to give people the thumbs up if they have a clean car. doesnt matter if its an srt4, evo, sti, old civic hb, vette, miata, whatever. maybe some of you bought this car for a different reason than those of us who are secure enough to be able to give props to an "inferior " car.
honestly i think that's an ignorant comment.

most of us don't street race. again...ignorant comment. you shouldn't generalize like that.

I thought it was a fairly good article, and it went out of the way to try to be a little unbiased. I did, however, laugh my ass off over the last line "...not a poser-tuner Corolla"

I think its a stupid atricle, with nothing but 10000% riceboy logic. Its an embarassment to have on the front page of the forum.

Drew is a little biased, but some facts are true. Funny how you mentioned about ass handing by the STi/EVOs, I got my ass handed by a friend's S at a trackday, and that's one of the reasons why I sold my STi for a S.

They are all great cars, and Drew has stuff to back him up, so I think ppl can chill. It's just an article, don't get too work up ppl.

i dont think the author went out of his way to be anything but inflammatory.

not sure how you can say it went out of its way to be unbiased and in the same sentence talk about the article making the comparison to a corolla...

Ummm....calling one of the best performing cars out there, for a great price, with amazing technology a hopped up corolla, is as dumb as it can get. Also to the people who always defend their "bargain basement" Honda against the Z4, Boxter, etc should appreciate cars like the Sti and Evo.

This is an enthusiast site, and most of us appreciate all cars if they have sometime to offer, which they do. I for one dont want to be associated to this kind of thinking. Its just plain stupid calling one of the best, if not THE best rally cars in the world a hopped up corolla.

The article author probably got raped at the track by an Evo, and decided to write that drivel.
