Mate performance wise the EVO wins hands down.

I own a WRX though because EVOs are butt ugly. They are more easier to live with daily too.

Plus scream like a ***** on heat with an exhaust.

i happen to own an evo8 so i`m going to voe for the evo anyway but the later wrx`s are better than the earlier models with a stronger gearbox than before but still have a fairly big lag hole you don`t get in the evo
the evo`s turbo is better matched to the engine to almost make lag a unknown thing

EVOs have anti-lag though too don't they?

EJ20/25 and 4G63 are up there with the RB engines if you ask me too.

Assuming your meaning the WRX STi, the WRX is not an EVO rival. EVO's are a bit quicker, but the Scoob looks better (imo) and sounds glorious with an exhaust job.

The only EVO I'd have over the comparable Scoob would be the EVO 6 or TME as the Bugeye was horrid.

don`t get me wrong mitchay i like both the wrx and evo but i do agree that both engines are up there with the rb`s for the power you can extract from them
one advantage the 4g63 has is it has forged internals which you don`t get with the wrx from the factory

I voted Evo, partly because it's not a WRX - and partly because they are less common than the STis.

Subaru WRX got nothing on the EVO. You'd need to throw-in WRX STi in the fight, not WRX.

EVO might be slightly better performance-wise, but I'd buy the STi over the EVO anyday. IMO the STi looks better.

WRX looks far better inside and out. But when it comes to performance and handling, the evo wins.
