Those AWD kill us on launches alone, plus their new modern day turbos spool up much quicker and the lag on ours makes a big diference...

I haven't had many encounters with STI's. My buddy has an extremely well prep. STI

GT35, Gruppe S motor, and 33psi running. meth. The car is insane

no i didn't know the car. i hear evos are very easy to get power out of...apparently exhaust and tune will get you 230kw at the hubs. still debating whether to trade my 951 for one.

If they came out with a 2 door model that looked more sporty, I would be ALL over it. The 4 door look to me just doesn't do it. Plus the fact that I plan to track my car and the PCA opens up so many doors in that area.

i should be ashamed, but i quite like the ricer looks . but the 951 is such a nice car...to be honest i wasn't that impressed with the evo when i drove it...they wouldn't let me do anything very fun in it. felt a bit soulless to me. horses for courses perhaps. hopefully the dealers will have a drive day soon and i can get a better feel for it.

Much like the 951, not many Sti/Evo's are stock

Most at least have more boost and chips.
