Evo vs. STI Meet Englishtown N.J
Yesterday Englishtown Raceway Park in N.J held thier first Evo vs. STI and WRX meet, it was fun and there was a very good showing but sad to say Subaru got its a$$ kicked by the Evo's in almost every race, I think a lot of Subaru fans switched over to mitshubishi after seeing the Subaru's get spanked all day long.

there were a few WRX's that represented well with mid 11 times, but they still coulndn't compete with the mid-low 10 times of the Evo's. Im not saying that the Evo's are a better car but they definetly came to the track with some serious cars yesterday.

The fact is, EVO is easier to make power with its 4g63 motor, while the new EJ25T is still new and unproven. Altho it has bigger displacement, however I think the potential of the U.S Spec STi engine is limited. Subaru of America needs to go back to drawing boards and take some drastic actions about this.

[QUOTE=jroman836]The saddest part was watching the very poor driving skills of the Suby owners. Bad launch after bad launch followed by slow shifting. How can a STi run 15's ?!?[/Q
LOL, yes very true , the subaru drivers shifted like they were on the highway 90% of the time.

All engines are "limited". I think that you are having a "Chicken Little" attitude while comparing an engine that has been in the market for 10+ years and an engine that has been out 15 months.

Just adding fuel to the fire...
I was at Rockingham, NC and a couple EVOs were running low 12s @ 110mph+.
It's a shame that you've got to upgrade the turbo to make those kinds of numbers.
I like how they get sideways when they launch too.
Nothing ever seems to be fast enough for me!
