shadoe1998 Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 what car is the best in your opinion and statisticaly(most potential) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HyPe Posted August 16, 2003 Share Posted August 16, 2003 the most potential? Right now i'd say wrx sti, but the evo8 will soon get alot more aftermarket support, so ya never kno.. As far as the coolest car.. i'd have to say the S2000 Either suzuka blue or spa yellow with a hardtop *whew.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optional187 Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 evo 6 t.m.e. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sup Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 Statisticaly: the wrx has around 24-25 more hp, but the evo 8 handles better i believe. I dont think the S2000 is in a class with the lancer and wrx in My opinion: evo 8, I just like it better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joecollins2 Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 The STi wants to go sideways around tight turns a little more than the Evo 8. One thing I don't like is the Evo 8 comes pretty much maxed out from teh facotry. It comes stock with 18 pounds of boost. We were all at the track the other night and there was a guy there with an Evo 8 and he had an intake, up pipe, down pipe and turbo back exhaust and he said that's about all he's going to be able to do without changing internals cause it does comes so high. He said there's no way in hell he's messing with boost control. Anyways, I would have to say STi. Why S2000 is even in this question is absurd. It's nowhere near these two stock. The Evo 8 comes with 241 horse and looks like a Lancer O.Z. edition. The STi comes with 300 horse and looks like a mean mother f*cker. Besides, don't judge until you can sit in them both. There's lots of little things that set the STi far apart from the Evo 8!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optional187 Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 EVO 8: Horsepower @ rpm (SAE net): 271@6500 Torque (lb-ft @ rpm): 273@3500 copy and pasted straight from mitsubishi's website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joecollins2 Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 Yeah sorry. I meant 271 I didn't mean to put 241. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PROFILES2000 Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 if your looking for drag go with the sti or evo if your looking for a well balenced car that handels great then get the s2000. the evo and sti are much more practical. which is why i got it.

CivicSpeedSiHB Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 Get the 2004 Evo RS if you like mean, light weight, race cars. With the absents of the huge, ricey ass rear wing, I love it, but it is also missing all of the weight. AC, and everything power is gone, no radio, and it lost over 200 pounds, and is much faster on the strip than the STi, becuase of weight difference. You never thought the extra 200 pounds would hurt.

optional187 Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 EVO RS? are you talking about the lancer...non-turbo crap engine with absolutely no potential at all (unless you swap in a 4g63)? you know you can get the evolution without the wing right? i may be lost...if so. whatever.

BuddySol Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 besides...the regular Lancer looks like crap. But I think he's talking about this Evo RS...which is basically an Evo set for the hardcore. No extra amenities, just the basics...engine, car, and about $2k less. http://www.edmunds.com/news/autoshows/arti...91/page014.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optional187 Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 ohh...rs = rally sport. duh. plus mitsubishi use's rs as a base model badge (for eclipse's and a few others anyway) kinda like dx. thanks for clearing that up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hondafreak Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 i'd go for the evo 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toxic Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 the wrx sti was rated #1 of the year on this show i was watchin.... but i like mistubishi's overall and the evo 8 is an awesome car... however if your throwing in the s2000 with these two it depends on what you are after... go with what suits u best.

S14Silvia Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 aftermarket is much stronger for the evo over the sti. either stock will out run an s2000, s2000's however are more fun to drive imho! and takes the cake in looks too! another thing to think about is evo's are making amazing power with bolt ons where as the sti hasnt had great power gains as of yet due to the ecm in the car. s2000s require forced induction to compete horsepower wise with modded evo's its all in what you look for, for a track car i'd take an s2000 any day of the week and twice on sunday. for a daily driver the sti as its got amazing power and for just the weekend warrior will do nicely. drag car the evo hands down.

Mercutio Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 S2000 has that sexy style. Not to mention its the only roadster out of the 3 (whether or not thats a bad thing for you, I USED to hate ALL roadsters, but now...). Besides, it's a Honda, its more reliable in the long run.

..SSR.. Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 The Impreza and Lancer are not roadsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S14Silvia Posted April 25, 2004 Share Posted April 25, 2004 the evo is not the best drag car... the sti is much faster are you serious? the sti's arent making power off basic bolt ons.. the evos are making over 300whp with intercooler, power fc, and boost controller. show me an sti thats running into the 11's.. cuz there are plenty of evo's doin it.

optional187 Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 wonder how much Cobb Tuning's AccessPort is going to make on the sti once they develope a map for it...they got 33hp out of a regular wrx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S14Silvia Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 cobb is right next door to the place i get my car tuned at, and they share the awd dyno with my shop. right now from what ive seen and heard they arent making any power out of them at all, in-fact bolt-ons seem to be hurting the sti more then helping them. and from what ive heard from my shop, who work hand in hand with cobb, cobb hasnt even started to develop the accessport for the sti yet.

optional187 Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 thats messed up, their website says they have a map coming soon. in any case, the sti is overpriced in my opinion...just like the evo 8. plus, i think they should take that performance and put it into something more aestheticly pleasing.
