Evo Vs Wrx

[fou_bleu]

[QUOTE=Ralliart]My Fav Evos


Evo 8





Looks as if you need to learn that that is an 9!!!
Soz! Self confest EVO diehard!

Hmm EVO has it over the WRX and STI performance wise, but the WRX/STI look better, have a nicer interior and sound better so I would pick the Subie for slightly less performance but easier to live with day in day out.

[Ryan]

I think Rexies look and sound better, but I'm gonna go with the EVO.

One of my old next door neighbour's mates brought his EVO 9 around and I was like WOW.

I didn't go for a drive, but he said they do 12 second 1/4 miles stock. :

Yeah people are starting to pull impressive power out of the piggys now and getting them to fly. Many are doing the EJ25 conversion in their older cars.

AFAIK the Japs are still using the EJ20 twin scroll turbo setup.

If I blow an engine I think there is a US EJ257 short block with my name on it. But I don't want to blow an engine cause I've got no money :

I think they are in the process of working on a turbo diesel boxer. Now that would rock!

I'm just hoping that the WRX/STi come out on top come the next model.

There are rumours the WRX is getting dropped :(

They sell a lot of STi's and I know a lot of people often say why not fork out for the STi.

This could be a good thing if assuming most of the population that buys a WRX can afford an STi but they don't, and bad if it's the complete opposite.

Basically no in the middle between Impreza and STi.

Havnt heard that, but I do know that Mitsu are bringing out a WRX competitor next year priced less than $45k.

Yeah it's not confirmed. Mitsubishi are bringing back the Lancer GSR, so it would seem a stupid move since the WRX has owned that market for the better part of a decade.

early wrx over evo

to date: EVO all day over the WRX


watch GTP/GP racing evo's seems to perform better and dont (the 99-2003)wrx's have hub/gbox/brake problems?

After MY00 the gearboxes are stronger. I think they underengineered the gearbox but then again the market wasn't aimed for young habibs buying second hand ones when they come up cheap.

You don't blow the box unless you punish it. Dump is bad mkay! :

If you want to dump, you get the 6 speed or a PPG gearset. HD clutch on the stock box is bad too!

As for the choice, Can i choose both!!! Love the sound and interior of a suubie and the looks and performance of an EVO... I call it a Subaru EVO

But if i could only chose one then it would be the EVO

[Night Runner]

it:


I use to own an RSK-B4 Subrau so I'll go for them, never owned a Mitsubishi, the name alone is rice enough. Didn't Top Gear/5th-Gear do a review on them both. I think from memory the WRX was faster to 100kph but the Evo had more aggression around the track but still ran a slower track time? Not sure so I better not comment.

These cars are awesome machines, just that many of us mistake the cars for rice when indeed it's the drivers who are the rice. A stock appearing WRX, Evo or Skyline with engine mods and perhaps some decent (none-chrome) rims is all good IMO. For the record, I myself would never own or buy one.

Whats the price difference?? I'd say quite a lot??
As said it should be STI V EVO ...

Nice mate. Rare car around this part of the world. WRX is getting owned in the poll. :(

Is that because they are comparing WRX to EVO or STi to EVO though?

WRX and STi are different cars.

WRX to STi is roughly $15k so it would be much the same with the difference to the EVO.

Nah I'm sure most people assume that we are comparing STI to EVO.
I voted for EVO. I have been looking around for a decent EVO VI. The only thing that lets them down is the cheap interior.

thanks for link man

[S3SR]

pretty sure even topgear said the evo was better

the evo looks better, wrx is old, and everyone has impreza and claims its a WRX
subaru's only good car is the liberty, if it wasnt for the falcon i would have bought one
so thats why the evo wins

[Christina]

My brother has an Evo 7, he kills WRX's.

good for him, you must be so proud...... :

[B.J(inCanb)]

Evo hands down, and I have to be frank and say I am voting purely on looks.

[GasoLane]

Why was the Datsun 120y not included in the poll?
