that's like saying an STi would smoke a lancer. haha pretty sure it will..plus subaru has better overall build quality. more reliable than mitsubishi.
if i drop it it's going to just fill the wheel gap. subies are meant for rally and all that nonesense so i rather leave it to do what it's made to do. also don't want to scrape a new car.

practically identical cars. Mitsu turbo engine has come a long way when it comes to bulding engines from back in the DSM disaster days, so what makes you so confident that the build quality is better for one car or another

first of all i know the STi comes with 305 hp. if that's wrong i don't know what other numbers are wrong. second i was talking about build quality as in reliability. subaru's have been known to be reliable. mitsu's on the other hand...

I was using the R&T numbers because the article was the most objective. Most of the numbers were estimated but it proves my point that both cars are very closely matched. Which in turn invalidates your point about how a STI would smoke a lancer.
show me objective proof that the lancer has a lower build quality than a STI and i'll

I dont think its a question that both Subaru and Mitsubishi produce a nice car. It simply comes down to symmetrical AWD. The STI has a much better snap off the line and the car tends to stay straighter on dirt or snow.
The evo is based more off being a road car than a rally car, though it is used for rally. Ive driven both, so I can say they are both nice but the new STI does have the edge when it comes to balance. Subarus generally have a better resale value as well, atleast in my area.
They are both fun cars to drive, head to head though in a rally, the STI does have the edge. Im pretty much a rally addict, so im not just talking out of my ***. The evo needs more suspension mods to rally, the STI comes stock with all you need minus the rally wheels/tires.
But then again, how many people ACTUALLY use these cars what they are intended for anyways? I know when I buy a subaru its going to be used for rally, im not going to dump the car hella flush...its just not right.
OP, if you want to meet some real subaru owners I would highly suggest you register at DIRTYIMPREZA.COM.
