compuvision02 Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Well, missed quite a few weeks, but I came up with an even better idea to branch off of this. Instead of telling us what you would do to the car, let's start arguing! We are going to argue in a very fun way, this will definetly keep the community occupied. Now we will take two different cars and debate on which is better and why. Imports, domestics, European, a mix, anything goes. If you don't know much about the vehicle, do some research, this will also help promote variation in your knowledge of cars. I personally feel I know a good deal about a lot of different cars, because I love being able to know if I can win a race based on what they've got. Hopefully you all will shortly. We will start off with a very big rivalry: 2004-2005 Subaru WRX STi sedan versus 2003-2005 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII sedan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben. Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 EVO FTW. Merely because I haven't seen one yet that's street driven to rival the AMS 8 second EVO. Haha. That's actually a lame reason, but it's true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compuvision02 Posted June 10, 2007 Author Share Posted June 10, 2007 I'll start, but it will be brief since I am about to leave, I'd take a STi, hands down. I'll continue when I am back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lceah Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 good idea Rob info: STi (293 hp / 3351 lbs curb weight) vs. Evo VIII (276 hp / 3263 lbs curb weight) STi! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

compuvision02 Posted June 10, 2007 Author Share Posted June 10, 2007 Okay, well I am back. I would personally go STi, because I think they look and sound so much better. It is a lot harder to make them go as fast as Evolutions do though, not to mention modifying them in general is harder. I like the way Evolutions look when they are slammed on baller ass wheels like Volk CE28's and wingless. Although, STi's can look good as hell with just a drop and a WRX wing on stock wheels. I don't like the way Evolutions sound, unless they are wide open throttle, STi's on the other hand sound amazing all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben. Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Yes that's one thing the STi has on the Evo.. That rumble. LOL. I can't help it. I may nutswing on the AMS Evo, but it's such a badass car. Vroom. Missed one -- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kegger Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 EVO!!!! When was the last time you saw an STi burn all four on a launch? Evo's can be made to do it fairly cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben. Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Said car posted in said vids burns all four whilst trying to go down track. That's a BAMF, SON. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't hard with STi's either. My friends downpipe only WRX used to burn all four. STi's can whip doughnuts just as easy too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatch92 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 i'd take either if i could afford 1. but they both have weaknesses. the STI has a tranny that is said to be like glass. and the evo has the 4G63 which everyone knows is notorious for crank walk. i'd take the evo personaly. crank walk is easier to fix imo.

compuvision02 Posted June 11, 2007 Author Share Posted June 11, 2007 The crank walk issue doesn't apply with the Evolution motors, they fixed the issue. The 4G63's have had issues over time, crank walk, transmissions, and more, but they fix the problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
90IntegraC1 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Well since I've driven both extensively, this is a tough decision. The Evo is incredible because of the top-end power, precise as hell handling, and overall build quiality. The Sti owns the Evo in low-end torque, smoother shifting trans, and looks in my opinion. I hate how Evo 8/9 come with stock Altezza's and chrome housing headlights on the 8's, and they take much more work on the outside to even look good. Sti dropped on the stock BBS's is all it takes for me... So, since I love the torque, the boxter sound, and looks, i'll have to go with a '04-'07 Subaru WRX Sti. (yes, i'm aware they changed the body style...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humphries Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 04-05 STI is just gorgeous to me. i love them. But the next one should be between some VW Jetta or Audi A4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compuvision02 Posted June 11, 2007 Author Share Posted June 11, 2007 But the next one should be between some VW Jetta or Audi A4 Are you serious? Same cars, just one is more luxurious? They both break? They are both expensive to maintain? They are both overrated? S4 and up are the only ones worth buying, in my opinion. I was thinking along the lines of another type of vehicle next.

Humphries Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 why do you always pick the most expensive cars to argue about.. i dont really care about these topics becasue they're way out of my price range. Jettas are gorgeous and i love Euro style.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeryon Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 besides, the s4 isn't half what it used to be when it was turboed. Now they just crammed a fat v8 in it, say it can do 0-60 in whatever low time and ignore everyones questions about its ability to corner. Sounds like something just as stupid as what the domestic companies do. "Wook at the numberz, its wewey weaey phast!"

compuvision02 Posted June 12, 2007 Author Share Posted June 12, 2007 Nah, I think they are just trying to keep up with their competition. BMW and Mercedes are all V8 or higher in their crazy models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeryon Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 heres a bombas car that I would pimp any time, any place: g35 coupe The used ones are just now dropping into a price range that many honda peeps can start to afford. Sadly I know nothing of the car mechanicals at this time, as I realized a long time ago that it was not in my best interest to purchase vehicles over the 5k price range, as I tend to not keep them long enough to warrant spending more. So I hadn't bothered to research them further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
