I'll be honest. I'll take the wrx/STi hybrid owned by one of the other techs I work with over any stock STI. I've driven it and it's a friggin' beast.

And rocket-propelled turds ftw.

Kanarrjl, have you driven both cars? I haven't driven an evo, so I can't make an honest comparison, but I have driven multiple STIs ranging from stock to built. From what I know about the evo, I like the STI interior better, the ease of working on the STI engine better, and the appearance of the STI better. Also, you'll never be able to beat the sound of a boxer engine

But hey, diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks.
Did you seriously just refer to the Civic Si as a "hot looking design"?





404: Hotness not found. lol

You've got a Hennessey Viper for your avatar. I mean, seriously, the front end of the car looks like it's making this face: =D

Your taste in cars' looks is invalid.

I just think the front end could use some work. Besides, I've never been a fan of Daimler-Chryslers. $70k for a 12.7-second car seems a little steep for me.
