I found this on MachV's website coincidentally, from Dan the owner:
"As to why the Evo nudges past the STi in handling, it's probably a lot of things, from the suspension calibration (Evo has firmer shocks and springs) to the chassis rigidity. Evo is a purpose-built chassis; although it's "evolved" from the base Lancer, it's got TONS of reinforcements throught the car. The STi is closer to a WRX in terms of the bare shell than the Evo is to the Lancer. The Evo has a much quicker steering ratio than the WRX STi."
