Unhappy

in a road and track comparison the evo came out slightly ahead of the STI..but they are both tops car very similar when graded...what do u like better. Then reading the SRT-4 is a hot car ...i guess the USA is stepping it up a bit...iight

i think theyre all cool cars, but all are ugly...



if i had to pick it would be the STi the old STi are hot esp the rally version.....evo is fugly (shoulda kept the 6 and under designs)...neon is still ugly - claling it a SRT-4 doesnt change the fact that its a pill with a hood scoop - fast maybe - FWD yes



i cant wait for the neon to get popular with american muscle heads....."THIS is american??!?? but its 4 cyl...and turbo...wtf?!?!!" then theyll buy one...and be happy....

the srt-4 needs a focking limited-slip. only one spinning wheel is never a good thing on a car that coming from the factory is putting out about 240hp at the crank (instead of the rated 215 that dodge says) is never a good combination.



oh and yes the evo is butt ugly.



the sti is my choice if i had the loot to buy one, my fave part is that hood scoop, it could eat up the ricers.

my friend's riend just bought one, we've yet to ride in it yet tho, i will be sure to make a full report tho.



oh and one thing to note in the sti vs evo thing. the STI comes with no sound system... at all. for a radio and speakers add a $1k option package. Also the sti boosts 14psi, the evo 18psi... and the evo still makes 30 less hp.

the 300HP US spec STI version got a facelift and has the RS2.5 motor+turbo



I am all over that!
