Much much easier to make really good power/speed out of too. A friend of mine who helped me with my last install has an 04 MR. All he's done was an intake, cams, and a custom tune at vishnu and his car put down 308hp at the wheels, 349ish on race gas.Does that kid have a Red EVO MR and work at carmax? I instructed a kid, I think his name was Chris, at Summit Shenandoah earlier this year whose MR had similar numbers.
Although I would disagree with you bigtime that the EVO is a better car. I really dont care much about big numbers or drag racing though, so maybe the EVO is better for that.
Did any of you guys ever watch the Top Gear with the EVO vs. STI shootout? I seem to remember the STI having way more understeer (?) than the EVO, and lost out around their track to it. I think the overall fit and finish of the interior of the STI is nicer than the EVO, aside from the fucking retarded pink everywhere you look heh.
