I said it once I will say it again. I probably have more seat time in both then motor trend, lol.
the street may be one thing which is fine. as far as the track goes though, the evo beats on the sti. it just can't make the power that the evo can with the same effort. HKS's carbon time attack evo is the perfect example. incredible car
First off we put the two cars up on the street as well as the track (New England dragway, and the road course at NH international speedway)
Also sure the HKS's carbon time attack evo was a very quick car, not much out there could beat it, but they also dumped what 100k into it?
were talking real life budgets, the two cars with comparable exhaust, engine, and turbo mods, the sti will come out on top
I witnessed it for my own eyes with the two cars that I had pictured in the earlier post.
We even switched cars between the three of us to see if it was the driver, lol (we had too much time on our hands so we tried every variable, lol)
Of course the hks is unusual. It was an example. I'd still take a vishnu tuned evo over any sti any day. Just because you put the same type of part on both cars doesn't make them comparable. they are quite different cars that respond very differently to different mods. doing pretty much the same mods to them shows nothing except a lack or engineering ingunity. When you truly understand both cars and mod them according to where they need improvements.what gets the biggest gains, the evo always comes out on top. It's simply more responsive to the right mods. It should be interesting when the IX is released to see the added affect of VVT. Bottom line is dollar for dollar, when you know what you're doing, the evo wins. And btw, vishnu is completely affordable and has the experience that counts in this field
