Default srt4 vs evo 8 CRASH

Okay so yesterday I was sitting behind a black srt-4 that had a body kit and tons of work done to it, in the beside me was a evo 8 they were side by side and I thought oh shit they're going to race. light turns green and they're off, the evo out in front, but then the srt-4 catches up but for some reason jerks to the left and slams head on into a mini van, crazy shit...

Whats your guy's oppinion on the better car? I know this has nothing to do with suzuki's but ya...

i think the EVO has a better bang for the buck. it doesnt take much to break 400 hp in those...they come stock with some really nice brakes and rims. IMO, the guys across the pond know what they're doing when it comes to sports cars.

I think the new Evo is over price for what you get. HEck you might as well either get a srt-4 or get a base line Skyline.

more power per dollar = SRT4

faster with more potential and overall better car = EVO by far

I would much rather have an evo because lets face it you could do nothing to that car and it looks great and is fast, also better then srt-4 because its got the all wheel drive wich is cool... However srt-4's are pretty bad ass and way cheaper hmmm, hard choice.

THe SRT-4 is on the neon frame. Theres a big problem right there, and throw in the engine reliability problems, and its cheeper, but you get what you pay for

i know a bunch of people with SRT-4's and at first semster all they did was rant and rave about how great they were. 1 guy dropped 11k in his to make it even quicker. Since them all of them have either had huge amounts of maitenance work done or jsut out right sold them. If you're looking for something to play with get a car that can handle what comes from the factory first. Or that has the aftermarket solutions to make the endeavor not such a headache. EVO FTW

Default Suburu STI

The STI is the better car. SRT-4 is still a neon (dress up a turd, its still a turd) the Evo is a great car but the STI has a long heritage of AWD, and Mitsu has had there share of screwed up AWD cars.
