OMG it's about damn time! the SST delays and the not releasing price business has started pushing me back to the subaru side...if you preorder an sti now and take delivery by March you get a special STi edition iPod touch! not to mention I can get special pricing for being a nasioc.com member and subaru loyalty money...but I can get a new evo at about invoice for selling mitsus this summer...so this test will help me make a final decision!

do you think evo has a more broader/low end torque....

Yeah the evo has power like 500rpm sooner AND holds that power to 7300 vs 6200rpm

But um.. do they both dyno at or above their quoted HP levels?? or was that an engine dyno?

Yeah, but you'd hit that ass! It's like a plumper with a pretty face. Or is it rather like a 'but-her face' as in, great body, but her face, ugh ?

Looks a an engine dyno.

Looks like the Evo makes less peak torque but has a boarder range.

Yes, looks very nice for the Evo X power band.

Impressive numbers. We just need to see how they do in the track.

I personally prefer the EVO, although I have a feeling the STI will be the faster car.

Now 51% for the STI!

But if this is a Japanese spec STi, it will be with the 2.0 liter egine, right?... In any case it will be interesting. The Edmunds Inside Line article on the STi suggests that the 2.5 liter STi is faster even on 91 octane gas and it did better than the X in the slalom as well. Me thinks that the flat 2.5 liter engine, which now sits just a little lower, helps with a nice low center of gravity.

Not looking good 'fer the X.

Can't wait to see what kind of times the two cars put down.

Sti, now well ahead 52% vs 48% for Evo....not surprising, the Sti is the faster car, no question, (it has a far better power/weight ratio) so it's not surprising most people are backing it over the Evo :)

And yes your USDM and our ADM Sti's with the 2.5 boxer will be quicker than the JDM 2.0ltr....

The 2.5 boxer is also easily modified into a power and torque monster :)
