I would tell him to buy the SRT-4 and go wrap it around a light post, collect the insurance money and buy a Cobra, lol. I would choose the Evo simply b/c the new STI looks like a rat and I hate SRT-4s. Every one around here has one and think they are cool, Im like come'on your driving a NEON!.

I'd suggest the STI because the are pretty sick cars, but if he buys it, take the wing off in the middle of the night and tell him Ricer Fairy took it.

300 HP, Six speed, Turbo-charged, intercooled, 9000 redline, forged internals, Brembo brakes, and 3.90 rearend

STI all the way! Theyve even got adjustable headlight beams and this cool little watersprayer to cool down the intercooler!
Im just kidding, STI is def what id choose if i was going to be buying a sport compact. Does this guy not like Vetts or Cobras? Those STI's are expensive! Expensive, but a great platform for performance. TO each his own.

If not the stang then the STI. And if he thinks he can beat a stang in a SRT-4, I'll be willing to run him anytime.

the other ones don't handle well in trees either. if he is between an evo, sti and srt4, he probably can't afford the sti or evo.

He'll sink $hitloads of money into any of them to beat a Cobra. I'd buy the Cobra and put that same amount into it and outrun any of the three in reverse.

A guy at work has an Evo and sponsors. Offered to race me because I stated that I dislike rice. I'd like to have the money he has spent on that car in my bank account. Of course, for that money, I'd have a high 10, low eleven 2V.

No, I didn't race him. He runs 22 psi on pump gas (27 on race gas), has 400+ HP (his claim), and all-wheel drive. I'm not going to waste gas getting my *** handed to me.
