I never heard or saw anything about this. There is even an appearance from one of our sponsors in it. http://videos.streetfire.net/category/WRX/1/1731A4D9-EE76-47B7-AAC1-85BA15AA66BC.htm :eek4: to the mighty AMS EVO
Nice. But I just want to point out that the Evo only ever wins a shootout by a small margin. One which is easily made up for with tuning. I mean Subaru wanted our rides to be a little more compliant and quiet whereas Mitsu basically just fawk it, we'll make the Evo a bone jarring experience. Give an STI (or well tuned WRX) better suspension and it'll hang with the front drive biased Evo all day.
If subaru keep the same springs on the STi for the US market the suspension would be on par with the evo. But the stock STi springs are kinda crappy. What the evo has that the STi is completely lacking is the "go-kart" steering.
Same here true but i tell ya the according to road and track and car and Driver magazines: any time they put the STI up against an EVO the STI WON so subaru is better! let alone you can drop the clutch in a suby and not in an EVO! But yes both cars are very competive and equal in almost all areas, I like em both and everyone knows that it all comes down to Who's driving the CAR! :naughty:
Where did you get that. Most of the Articles I have read the Evo Won. Still Subaru's are better. Lets face it, who wants to drive an American Car anyways. Also, dropping the clutch in a Subaru is a sure fire way to kill your Tranny, especially in a WRX. STI's can take a little more of a beating, but you still don't want to drop the clutch. There is an Art to Launching an AWD Subaru.
Yeah that's what I was getting at. Most comparro's say the Evo is tad or smidgen better at this and that but most of those things can be corrected with upgrades.
Yeah, dropping the clutch is bad juju..... Maybe he was talking about the launch control that the Evo supposedly has? Something about not being able to rev past a certain rpm from a stop......
Thats what i was getting at also but i have fdropped the clutch a few times in my WReX and it still shifts strong no issues graet tranny if you ask me and yes I have mastered the all we drive launch just to give you a an Idea i shit you guys not I jumped on a corvette z06 and it took him till 4th gear tocatch me no lie ask 03bugeye he'll tell ya he was in the car! :fawk:
evo has the sti stock for stock in the turns all day long....sti i think would have a stronger motor for building regardless.
Was there, and it was pretty sick guys!! I Learned the hard way about dropping the clutch im my 03..been through a few transmission, one i would never recomend is the Kaazz gear set, the worst purchase i ever made..
