Default Evo VS WRX

Suspension is stiff because it's not a drag car, it's made for corners and s**t.

And a stock EVO sould be able to walk a mostly stock WRX w/35 shot

You're talking 270+ hp and ft-lbs versus 227/217 stock. The guy in the WRX was an idiot for thinking he was going to win, unless he is a good driver and he thought he was going to race the guy with the broken leg.

If he had an STi,with equal mods as the EVO 8, then he should have waxed the EVO.</P>


How many times did you launch at 6500? If it's more than twice, I'm surprised your friends clutch is still existant. lol <IMG src=smileys/smiley5.gif border="0"></P>

C&amp;D did a head to head comparison of an EVO 8 and an STi. The STi was faster on 1/4 mile times and 60 ft times. They liked the EVO handling a little better but the WRX STi was definitely faster.

It may feel good now, but it can't stand up to that kind of launch for long..<IMG src=smileys/smiley5.gif border="0"></P>

I sure as hell wouldn't do it. When I launch my RS I slip it at about 3k. The clutch just won't hold a high rev dump. It just burns off and smells bad.
And that's with 165 hp.
