Have you driven these cars?? If you had you would realize that what you just said is a load of crap. The fact is the STi understeers way more than the EVO...That, my friend, does not equate to fast lap times. When an understeering car is pushed, all it does is howl and burn up tires, with no more speed! I have driven them both. And I will tell you, from experience, that the EVO handles better. I have driven them, not on a dealer test drive, but with the press. So I have driven them hard! I have "pushed" them. I will grant you that the STi is probably a better car for most people to drive day-to-day. It is more compliant, more comfortable. But, for all out performance it is the loser between theese two cars. As to the looks, that is all subjective. I like the front of the EVO, you like the STi. You get the STi and I get the EVO and you won't have to look at the hood much, because all you will be seeing is my ass end.

Well if you're like most other press drivers you probably didn't push the STi hard enough (not saying I know how) but I've seen the lap times from the STi when pushed hard and they're LOWER than the EVO. It was like 6 drivers and one pushed the STi harder and got best lap times, better than his own times in the EVO. Do you think if I owned a STi I would leave it stock?? Let's see who's ass end is seen then (and a much better looking one at that too).
