I got to test drive the new evo VIII. OMG!!! It was sooooo much fun....i think i scared the dealer guy sh**less! Then i got to wondering...I know that the EVo has around 270 hp and the gt-4 has 250...Has anyone test driven both of them, and if so are they anything alike? p.s. there is nothing like going 0-60 in 5 sec!!

well, either way, i don't think you can classify the gt-four in with the st1 or the evo.

I know it was once in the rally with those other cars, but the celica is a 2-door sports car while those others are 4door sedans.....I must admit that i like the looks of both the wrx and the evo, but from the specs sheet i got from the dealer the other day, the evo is running at 19psi....and thats just pert damn near crazy on a mitsu motor, in stock form.....so i would imagine that subauru has there kinks out of the wrx, being that the evo is just in its 1st year over here in america with all that extra emissions stuff on it.......

but either way you are lookin at 250whp with both sti and evo and the price is pretty much the same, body is pretty much the same, so its just in your peference at which to buy....

i also tried out an evo, and it was hella fun!!!

how do you figure that they both have 250 whp??

the STi has 300 at the crank
the EVO has 271 at the crank

multiply that by the general 17% rule or w/e it is.

comes out to

STi 249
EVO 225

the STi I would definitely want that over the EVO

lancers are played out in my opinion. i mean damn there has been 8 generations of this car and this is the first year in the U.S.

I see regular Lancer's all day long. I have seen 3 or 4 Impreza's and all were WRX's.
