There is a white one around here.
It has Up pipe, Down Pipe, Turbo Back Exhaust, TEINs, Sway Bars, Control Arms, Strut Bars, Gauges, and a HKS BOV.
Its pretty nice lookin, and really fast. Apparently the guy is a **** though.

i'd take an EVO over the STI.

might as well get that KIA over the STI. they're both ugly

plus EVO is now more original cuz it has no copy cats.

28k's pretty decent, considering they usually mark them up like crazy. the only thing i don't like is that humungous wing ...yeah it may be functional, but its just too clunky-looking.

from a drivin perspective, i'd probably prefer the WRX. They say Evo has a light steering feel ...not too excited about that.

I've only seen one white evo around here, and some asian kid drives it. I've seen it like 3 times crusing around. I think its hott, id probably get it over the sti just to be different. I read an article comparing the sti vs evo in car & driver the other day, and they gave the evo a better rating. Sti was of course faster, but they gave it up to Evo since it had better handling and more "fun to drive".

Ive seen a couple. I met the guy who bought the 2nd one here in raleigh...he let me look in it, it is so nice. The Recaro seats are beautiful. He was really cool and straight outta college, must be nice to have all that money. But right now theres a silver, blue, and yellow one at our dealership

i like the EVO for the sole fact that you dont have to spend extra money to have a stereo put in as a dealer option. Music is very important to me, i dont know what i would do if i couldnt listen to my music while driving. Its only a couple tenths slower than the STi anyways.
But, i do like the STi because Subaru has a better name than Mitsubishi. And i have heard from my buddy that knows a few people with EVOs, that they are having nothing but trouble with them. Stuff breakin all the time.

somebody not far from me either has one or knows somebody who has one. i was comming home from church, yes, i go to church, and it was getting off one exit before my house. i wanted to follow it but my brother said that i could look at pictures and it would be the same. he just doesn't understand.

later i found out he thought it was just the lancer, so i explianed it to him.
