13.8 @ 101.5 ?????????30k$$$$$$ Am i the only one not impressed? seems to handle really well though. i hope that Car and Driver got a dud for their test. I was hoping for ant least a lower 13.

350z does a mid 14 for 36k i thinks the evo i quite impresive for what it is and has much room for upgrades

**cornishcrx** · 02-26-2003 12:13 PM

wrx 14.3 22k
neon srt 14.1 20k
mustang cobra high 12's for 35k
ls1 z28 camaro 13.3 for 21k
lancer evo 13.8 30k

for 10 years we drooled over the evo and then they bring it to us and it is barely in the 13's.

Im glad Japan is developing another car for me to stomp.

Its a sweet looking car... I beat it'll respond well to mods too.
I cant wait for the EVO and STI to get here so i can test drive them...

if the sti is so badass whyd you buy a rustang?

Zate · 02-26-2003 04:20 PM

because the rustang was only 27K and already traps higher than the STi stock..

that and i was tired of having to drive the WRX hard to get any power out of it..

i will build a Subaru that in my opion will oook better and be faster than the STi.. but not till next year..

cant wait to see the Sti gettin around though..

**b16aRacer** · 02-26-2003 05:36 PM

is the 13.3 a japanese STi time? im interested to see what it does when they get here...if its still a 13.3, more power to subaru. seems like too often that some speed get lost in the trip over however....does the subaru weigh less and/or have more power than the EVO 8? I cant remember off hand if those specs were released for the US version yet...

Personally, im eager to see how it competes. Obviously im slightly Mitsu biased but id take an EVO 7 over an EVO 8 ten times outta ten...im just not a fan of the new bodywork and simplified diff setup. I like the look of the new STi inside and out alot more than the current WRX , or EVO8 for that matter.

Post some STI specs if ya got em

**Ffej207** · 02-26-2003 06:07 PM

As far as I knew (I'm sure I'll be corrected if I'm wrong), the new (and the USDM) STi will be a 2.5L Turbo engine, rather than the 2.0L that was in last generation - so it should be pretty impressive.
