WRX STI or EVO 8
Personally I think that the Sti with a sticker price of $29,000.00 is hard to beat becasue it has four wheel disk brakes with 12 inch rotors. I mean seriously you guys you can't beat that compared to a 280bhp Evo VIII. The Sti I think when it comes out this summer is going to be crowned import car of the century

Rep Power: 339 I would definately go Subaru... those Mitsus are not as reliable... maybe JDM EVO RS can beat it down... guess we gotta wait for the comparison ##'s. Oh yeah, the Boxer sounds.... always nice

Rep Power: 301 I'm gonna be the oddball of the group and go for the EVO... I just don't like the way the STi's look. Not to mention I've had friends in Japan who owned both and I liked my friends Mitsu better (His was an Evo 7)
The MSRP on a EVO 8 might be 28,xxx but I went to look at one today and the dealer markup was 14,xxx. The final price was something like 45,000. The dude tried to tell me that it had 271 hp at the wheels. He must think I'm stupid or something.

Rep Power: 0 I saw my first one on the highway tonight. North bound 101 going about 70 mph. It was silver and no one in the car believed my when it passed me up. I caught up to it and it was. Very nice, now there is going to be some competitiion in the SCCA. The new STi will not be able to compete in the 2.0 circuit.

Rep Power: 0 I would definitely go with the STI. It looks badass. I think the EVO 8 looks dumb anyway. I am tired of all these Japanese and American companies buying into the Euro Tail lights too. Just makes them look terrible. Just my 2 cents.

Rep Power: 0 I had Mitsubishi Eclipse and WRX both, I said Subaru's quality is somewhat better than Mitsubishi, but Honda is still the best. Well, both cars started rattling after a while...but I gave up on these high performance cars, cuz after you get it, something better is gonna be on the market.

Rep Power: 0 the people in mitsu who brought over the evo8 to outcompete the wrx must have been completely shitfaced when they found out subaru was bringing the sti (2.5L) over here. if the ralliart version does come out, that would defintely be a way for mitsu to try and even out the 30 hp difference. but it still can't beat that delicious interior of the sti

Dont matter much, Evos arn't selling right now any way. To much of a mark up on them. There have been only 3 sales made here In las vegas, and they are still marked up 5,000+ over invoice for "Market value Markup" . My question is how can there be a market value markup when they arn't selling so there is no real market for them???
