This video comparison was biased from the start. If you listen very closely in the beginning of the video, the STI guy says that he was turning OFF the traction control in the STI for the test. The EVO is loaded with enough driveline eletronics to maneuver an F22 fighter jet.

Do you get my point?

All this in the rain. Now just think about it. The STI was able to whoop that EVO in tight and wide track conditions. If the STI had engaged the traction control, the EVO would have been left behind. WAY behind.

Every comparison doesn't have to show how fast a lap the 08 can get. I think that comparison was awesome.
