The Evo is a ricer's wet dream. The STi is the more mature of the two.

But ya know, since some article says that the STi is losing, maybe I should just get rid of it and buy an Evo...

I think it's funny that a lot of you still insist on labeling things as "rice" the STI is just as Japanese as the Evo and it's slower. I love my Subaru, but I'm not into the ignorant, one sided opinions. The numbers are better for the Evo so why is it so unbelievable that it usually wins over the STI?

win or lose i just love both cars. Not to be a shame to own those cars. I own a 06 wrx and i wave at evo's all the time. We should have respect for their cars' because isnt it only the sti and evo that are top dogs in the rally world? We're lucky to have these cars because other people try to imitate us with their cars ex: civics with hood scoops and BIG (not stock) mud flaps. People who dont own these cars are making such a big scene saying "EVO is teh mastor!" "STi ownz u!" etc.. STi and Evo are good quality cars and fast! Its funny seeing other cars running threw mud and such.. when they are not ment for it. Im glad i have a wrx, if i had an evo i'd still be glad these two car are the talk of the street.

They are in competition with each other. That's what we call a "rival" in the racing world.

impreza vs evo
supra vs skyline
honda vs all ?
mazda vs none ?

hehe, umm.... no. IIRC, Mitsu is out of WRC (the top echelon of rally racing) & apparently they may be out of business if their nex generations of cars don't sell well.

What's even funnier is that you think the Evo is faster than the STi. Since WHEN?

You don't have to be into ignorant one-sided opinions. You have one.

It's common knowledge that the Evo is the ricer's wet dream of the two. Why do you think that every ricer magazine on the shelves has 2-3 Evo articles in them and no STi articles? DUH. So, prove my "ignorant opinion" wrong.

Sinister, I'm suprised at your maturity level, considering your age. I don't have to prove you wrong because you haven't proven anything. How do I have an ignorant one sided opinion? I own a Subaru and yet am opened minded enough to accept the fact that it's biggest rival usually comes out on top. I wasn't trying to stir up controversy with my comment, I was only commenting on how judgemental it is to start throwing labels around.

And neither have you, so stfu. Your stupid Top Gear video proves nothing. Pull your head outta your *** and notice that they're comparing a standard STi to a "factory modded" Evo.
