The 5 speed EVO tranny is pretty stout, but the same cannot be said for the transfer case. The plus side is they are cheap to get built properly.
BruceLee: you are a traitor to Subaru, and your opinion counts for exactly zero. What a waste of a 10k word post LOL

Yes, and it still is. But the comparison is between the EVO and STi, NOT the EVO and WRX.

I wish the EVO had the STi 6-Speed. I love my 6 speed sooooo much. I drove the paddle shift model too, and it sucked. I know it's dual clutch and blah blah, but without a clutch pedal you are so limited on what you can do with the car. No launching either (which I never really do anyway, but still).

ya funny how that didnt even try to deny it. Sounded more like,
"We're sorry this leaked before we could have our marketing department craft a well worded bull**** press release that would have tried to make it sound nicer."

The salesmen told me to switch to E-85 as my first mod. He said that most of his EVO customers who are interested in racing and producing higher HP numbers all switch to E-85. I agree with him and it would probably be the first mod I'd do. I wish there were more E-85 stations and wish STi would come out with a higher output 2.5L tuned for E-85. I think 375 would be pretty easy to obtain and still be reliable and considered a low emissions car.
E-85 can make or break the STi. Lets hope Subaru is reading this!

Group-N bushings, slightly bigger sway bars, and a stage 2 setup would make a quick, fast, and nimble car that would fufill the requirements of 95% of STi owners. And for those that do not know, there IS a difference between quick and fast

Why does everyone focus on power output? While many people mod for power, the stock STi makes enough power for 90% of the dip**** owners to total the car. I think that they should focus on putting that power to the ground and improving turn in. A couple inexpensive mods DRASTICALLY improve the handling of the STi.

The STi isn't safe from this same cutting that Mistu is doing. If you think about it the evo and sti have both thrived and gotten better from competition. Whether it be from the WRC, or just competition for the market share, both cars would not be if they did not have each other. Now that the evo is gone, what is there to keep the STi a top performer??
I would not be surprised if the STi goes to the wayside as well....I mean STi is the rally division of Subaru...that in reality isn't even real anymore. But as my uncle told me "thats how hotrods are born, they tell us they won't make them anymore".
