    For ALL you closet Evo or STI fans out there. There's a pretty cool part where the Evo is doing AWD donuts around the STI. There's another part where the Evo ends up in the mud and launch's out of it. "I" particularly enjoyed that part because I thought of Larry (TNViper) being towed out by the Evo if he ever got his truck in ANY mud, or water for that matter! LOL

    The EVO really spanks the STI now.

    i heard the exact opposite. many people are having real issues with the evo gearbox, the sti is getting huge increases from just an exhaust and a tune.

    I just read an article where the said the EVO is at 4000 rpms in 5th gear (no 6th) at 80 mph on the highway. Crap that must be annoying as hell and of course killing gas mileage. Keep the sucker wound up on some hilly roads or off-road and I'm sure it's a blast to drive.
