are you sure you just didnt drop out of boost?Jeffs wrote:My guess would be that the extra torque and hp the STi have would mean better acceleration from 70-140mph??? I hard-launched both cars from 0-60 and both felt the same. However, I got the chance to drive the evo to triple digit speeds where it suffers from lack of torque....

Dude if you're running 21psi, get a BOV. You know, it's actually an Upgrade, not a rice. But I'm not sure if the STI comes with a stock BOV or not, so I'm not going to say much. If it's the kind that recirculates excess Boost back into the Manifold then it's technically Better than the Vent to Atmo, but if it doesn't have either, go with VTA BOV's, I would in a hearbeat, espescially with 21psi.

lol just to dig into all aspect of the thread...
Viper- 8.3 V10=500hp, 525lb torque...period.
And the Evo MR is better, IMO... its faster 0-60 and has more techie stuff for the suspension...STi is supposedly more civil...
I drove a WRX and I hated the shifter...it was so notchy...The Evo's didn't feel notchy but it revved so fast you had to shift faster than normal...or so it felt.
BTW, what do you guys think of the fact that the next STi is gonna be a hatchback ????
Triple Diamonds FTW
