How absurd men are! They never use the liberties they have, they demand those they do not have. They have freedom of thought, they demand freedom of speech.
I went from an SRT-4 to an Evo and have no regrets. Off the showroom floor the Evo handles a little better than the STi, makes a little more power than the STi and even costs a little less in most cases. Looks are subjective so you make the call there. I will say however that the STi interior is slightly less spartan than the Evo's.
Once you get the Evo home it's also cheaper and easier to modify. The aftermarket for the 4g63 is unreal. It's been in the US, in one form or another, since 1990. The Evo IX is an even more tunable platform than the Evo VIII because of the larger compressor housing and new MIVEC head.
If your were going to upgrade your car and your choice was between
a 06 STI and a 06 EVO9 what would you get and why?? Thanks for the help
Neither. 300ZX Twin Turbo ftw. With $1,200 in mods -- you have a reliable, streetable, and way-better-looking than an EVO/STI anyday -- car that runs 12.5s in the quarter all day long
