They both are fast cars but $45k to $50k is insane!!! That makes the USDM STI a bargain..

I don't recall the orange insane guy but I do think that is a Spice Girl... Never even noticed before you mentioned that.

Yeah is it really worth another $10-15K to shave off 3.4 seconds?

Evo may be better on the track.. but wasn't it made for Rally? ... hmm... yup that's right, and that's why the Impreza's the better car.. it's true to it's design.

One of the bigger advantages between the two cars is that the STI's Tires suck *** and the Evo's are pretty good. I hate my factory tires on my sti, they arent that great. I read a review somewhere that said "The STI hangs within tenths of the EVO, and if it had halfway decent tires the STI would win hands down"

How do the RE70s suck ***? As far as I know they're equvalent to the best summer street tires same as EVO. Just that we get 225s vs EVO's 235s.

You left off the FQ400, which has 400bhp.
