Rep Power: 0 oh, did i mention you can manually select the front/rear power split bias? thats right, you can make it more FWD, more RWD or 50/50 AWD from the cockpit bish!

I think the Evo8 coming out is the base model of Evo. You should compare it to a WRX instead of STi. Once the Ralliart Version come out it will kick STi a*s (if it ever comes out)

Rep Power: 0 The Evo is a HUNDRED times better, it is a higher revving engine, has a much better designed suspension (front control arms, endlinks, unequal length A-arms ect, ect) but most importantly, their gearbox is BULLET PROOF! I dont know about the sti's gearbox but the wrx's is extreamly fragile, not to mention its syncros and pretty much entire drivetrain. I cant tell you how many WRX's ive seen blow by us in the begining of a rally only to DNF due to transmission problems before they could finish. and this is rally to, which is a little easyer on drivetrains than the 1/4 mile.
"no problem" you say...thats what warrentee is for, but their is a clause in the WRX warrentee that only allows three transmission replacements before the repair is on your dime. $$$$$
its not just about looks (or lack thereof) and horsepower

Rep Power: 0 PLEASE show me your direct comparison of the two suspension set ups and why you THINK the EVOs is better. And its 100X better because the engine revs higher? That’s so stupid it makes me want to felch.

Rep Power: 0 on top of that Id like to see this proof of the EVO VIII having a "bulletproof" tranny. The STANDARD WRX only has problems with people launching at 6K repeatedly. You are telling me the EVOs is so indestructable it will consistantly take that kind of abuse wothout ANY problems? Id also REALLY like to see this mythical "clause" in the warenty stating subaru will only fix the tranny 3 times.
