The Evo has much more headroom in it. In stock form it has a much better turbo, better gearing for drag racing, and cam swaps take a few hours tops. Whereas the STi isnt far from maxing out the stock turbo from the factory, requires a shift to 5th in the 1/4 if the car is any faster than stock, and if you want cams you better have the time to yank the motor out first.

You guys spend your $1000 and gain 2 seconds and 15mph. We have to spend a couple grand on a new turbo, injectors, fuel pump, plus all the stuff that you guys buy to get there. And usually we still dont because it seems all the good drivers didnt by Subies.

EDIT: Oh and btw, thanks for making me feel bad with this vid. I thought it was awesome when I got a second and 10mph out of $500.
