Your view of a STI or an Evo?

[QuicksandATL]

I was thinking of looking to get one of these one day, but my problem is that I hate the ricer boy / trailer park Fast and the Furious wannabe image associated with tuner cars. (While I do know they are completely different than your average Civic or Integra) What do you guys think of them?

Bad, bad, bad Price to Power ratio.

Bad, bad, bad Price to Power ratio.

sti has a pretty damn good price to power ratio...$32k for a car that does 0-60 in what 5.2?

[AxlTurwalt]

STI nor Evo. '66 Mustang all the way!

[ranDOMED]

wtf lol neither the wrx or evo have ricer associated with them. ricers are like ****ty hondas and stuff. poor ricers cant afford and sti or evo.

[ranDOMED]

Actually the new Evo does it in 4.5 per Motortrend.

my point exactly.

Evo is my dream car, but i would only get that if youre going like full pro racing just because of the ride it is. Pretty sure Subu would be better for normal car because the handling is a lot better and its just a homier car all around, lot safer too, subarus known for that.
Yeah if you were to pour a lot of money and time into an evo it would be unstoppable

[ranDOMED]

get the sti.

mustangs have the most horrible handling of any car i have ever driven......its like driving a ****in boat


Also the engine isnt as tunable

[QuicksandATL]

Well, I just want a somewhat affordable badass car without looking like a ricer ***got.

I like the Evo's body style better but I'll have to wait and see the 2008 STI.

yeah i loove supras too, then again i would be satisfied with a nice rx-7....Driving an 82 f150 right now

[-Aaron-]

Yeah, because American cars are built for handling? Not to mention, the Mustang is rear wheel drive, where as as the Lancer is 4wd and the Sti is All-WD.



Edit: With a couple mods the Mustang handles well, thank you very much.

people who know the difference wont think your a ***got

people who dont know the difference will think your just in a civic with a huge muffler and think your a ***got

One thing you're forgetting to mention is that the STI or the Evo will rape any Mustang, even the Cobra GT 500 on a track course and in a drag race.

I'm saying this from car reports not from personal experience.

However if I could have one car under 100k I'd so get a z06 Corvette, it's better looking and faster than anything under 100k.

[-Aaron-]

lol are you joking the new mustang are slow as ****. heavy pos. not to mention the second the turbo kicked in with the sti, no chance... oh did I mention its awd?

That's why I beat stock Evo's and Sti's with my stock GT, before I added my supercharge.

Not without mods done to the evo/sti.

[KRANE]

Both are loud, crude and unrefined high maintenance vehicles. However, if you want speed and handling but don't want to be taken to the bank. These are good choices.

If your want truly refined comfort that's as comfortable on the twisties as it is at the theater, go for the VW GTI or the Honda Civic Si. Although the VW's a bit more sophisticated and roomy

p.s. I know it's not as fast, but the R32 will narrow the gap a bit more

wtf? yeah you just further proved my point, mustangs are only good for drag, thats it....even there they are just decent it isnt that much faster than the better cars at all

[ranDOMED]

lol qft. I cant tell you how many times I'm driving, some kid in his ****ing beaner civic wants to race me in my 90 300zx, gets smoked. I'm not saying my car is fast but for its age and price, good first driver. I paid 3.7k and it has just over 240 HP, t tops, leather, power everything very upgradeable and reliable.

[Dr. J]

get the new evo

being loud is the best part they arent that loud tho...??Also arent that high maintence either, plus civics are shiz compared to either

[-Aaron-]

I'm not saying both cars are bad, I just prefer power to looks.

Not to mention the AWD is amazing.

ahahha just because you beat a few rich kids in there wrx(they were not sti's otherwise you wouldnt have said ****) means your gt is automatically faster than evo 9's and sti... not gonna happen. I work with a girl who owns an 06 gt, its nice but slow compared to say my co workers 3000gt vr4. and that car is 15 years old. turbo>all **** Superchargers
