i dont recall anyone saying either one is "better".. its all been they rather drive a suby which is personal preference...
and as for modding well once you mod any car you loose reliability regardless...
and im betting that if you do an age pole on nasioc, iwsti or club wrx that the majority of people owning stis are over the age of 28
each car has its downfall and i do agree theres a lot more high hp evos but hasnt the 4g63 been around for around 20years? so yea theyve had plenty of time to know what makes it go fast
apples and oranges

You can speculate all you want as to the average age of either community, but its just that - speculation. Likewise, you can say Evos are less reliable, but do you know the maintenance histories of every Evo and STi in Tampa? Florida? The Southeast? The nation? You can say you dont see as many built STis as Evos, but do you know the setup of every STi and Evo owner in Tampa? Florida? See where Im going with this?
Apples to oranges? Id say its more like Granny Smith vs. Golden Delicious

Unless he has a set of custom-made aftermarket gears or revs the car to 14,000rpm, no it doesnt. An 04 STi wont even hit 65mph at the top of 2nd gear.
Oh and these threads are always great. I love it when people make sweeping generalizations as to the reliability and age demographic of both cars based solely on their limited personal experiences. Ive seen both cars blow up with minimal mods. Ive also seen both hold up to big power much longer than they should have. Ive met douchebag kids who own both. Ive also met older guys who are cool as shit in both communities.
I understand this is Suby Tech and we all love our cars here. This thread would go exactly the same in Mitsu Tech, except the support would be on the other side. But when it boils down, personal preference is what sets apart Evo and STi owners. Nothing more. No one will ever make a competent, irrefutable arguement that one is objectively better than the other.

1 million hp and 200 hp...can only go as fast as the gear will let you go...
longer gears= ability to go faster in gear...like a longer gear ratio etc..
notice how porsche...can do 90 in 2nd gear...corvettes can go very fast as well
most performance vehicles that have a ton of torque will gear it to have a higher speed in each gear...much more noticibly so then a 4cyl vehicle which needs the higher gearing to get the car moving because of the lack of low end power/torque
k?
