As a reference, my STi did 72.xx, 71.xx (+2), 70.xx, 69.xx on street tires.
So I'd say STi > Evo.

 

my fastest was a 76.9 in the fun runs with 32lbs of pressure in my tires, my first auto-x, and am on stock suspension. also, what day did you go, i saw one STI on the track on sat. it ran 80.xx as its lowest, and they changed the course on sun ....

 

Hey everyone new to the forum thought Id chime in on this debate

I think the first thing to look at is power Stock the EVO has under 300 whereas

the STI has 300.

The Engine is bigger and has more Torque.

STI 6 Speed tranny EVO 5 speed

Horizontal engine alignment makes for a more balanced AWD system



Not to mention the long history of Subaru Rally Racing's winning tradition


However is this comes out http://www.speedtv.com/_assets/libra.../84297_evo.jpg

or this

STI stock will go down unless they come out with this

haha

 

well at least the imprezas don't look like this yet, then I would really be wary about buying a subaru even if it is a good value. That mitsu looks pretty sick.

btw, link fixed ^^

 

I ran Sunday morning. I was going to stick around for fun runs, but I left when it started raining. I didn't want to work in the rain. :P

 

Yeah I was gonna say, that STi did the same times as I did and he has stickier tires, quicker steering rack, better spool and yet his times were equal and worse then mine. I didn't feel so bad for being such a newb. But its all about the fun at auto-x.

I found out afterward that my passenger side is running possitive camber cause I was tired as hell and it was dark when I put the struts back together.

The next UFO auto-x is may 7th. My camber plates should be in with -2.0 camber, and a few degrees of caster and possibly some Hancook R-S2 tires.


I think in the end, both Evo and STi are great cars but were designed for different purposes.
The Evo allows us newb drivers to take the car to its limits a lot quicker, and easier.
The STi takes someone who really knows how to drive to take the car to its limits.

 

so saturday you would have ran at *least* 1.5 seconds slower, the end of the track was utter ****, way too sharp of an S turn for AWD cars to do any good, especially a WRX since our rear end rotation is not so great.

 

This car kicks *** on endurance race (super taikyu series in Japan), thats all i have to say

 

All I have to say about that is, quit magazine racing and go out an test drive a new EVO IX. It blows away the current STi in every performance catagory there is. And if you're going to use the "nicer interior of the Subaru" excuse, then go buy a Lexus LS430 if all you care about is nice interiors and luxury. That's all I gotta say.

 

Yea, I figured.
Vic Sias beat me by 6 seconds! he's 63.xx, now that's quick. Only 4 people broke into 60s Sunday morning, that's Mr. and Mrs. Sias(63.xx, 65.xx), Ben Martinez(66.xx), then me! hehe

but yea, back to the topic. I have my STi since June 2003, and no problem at all, I have never go back to the dealer. However, my brother's Evo had some kind of CEL that keeps coming back and even the dealer did not know what was wrong. They had replaced the ECU, injectors and it still coming back. The fun part is, the problem is a well known issue that many Evos have, and no one know how to fix it. My other friend's Evo has the same issue and he had to get an after market ECU reflash to disable that CEL. So, yea, besides the cheap interior, Evo has some kind of build issue too. Despite all that, it's a fun car to drive, and responds very good to mods.

Oh, one more thing. STi > Evo @autox.

 

FYI, Vic's crews best time on sat was a 66.8.... saturdays track sucked with that kink on the peninsula, and the horseshoe in the back so tight.

Were you at the last UFO auto-x? There was a white STi there on white wheels that had some mad front camber and placed some good times for it being such a tight corse.
