Site Slow/Unreachable?
ALL OF THIS IS IMHO, it is opinion and not fact and should be taken as such.
Don't give up on the STi because some magazines give a slight edge to the EVO on handling (.2 Seconds difference on a road course) and braking (ohh, it stops a whole 6 feet faster than the STi). This is hardly not enough in my opinion to declare either one the winner. It will come down to driver, and when there are real production vehicle vs production vehicle comparos done, I expect some different results. For example, Shiv had some interesting Dyno results on a production EVO vs the press car EVO...
The Automobile article was the best so far of what has been in my opinion paid advertisement for Mitsubishi. C&D has a history of that anyway...
I mean, the credibility of the Motor Trend article was lost when they stated that Europe and Japan have been getting a 286HP STi for many years.
And then it gets worse when they make this stupid statement:
"The STi's accelleration tests were done on slightly less grippy surface. This does not affect the numbers, however, with the AWD helping with wheelspin"
Sore loser I am not, but I just thought that these falsehoods and mistakes need to be pointed out. At the very most, these reviews are just opinion, and it is my opinion based on what they presented that some of it is crap.
I'll summarize it this way:
Do you let movie reviews drive the movies you go see, and secondly, how many times have you disagreed with the reviewers??
Had to get it off of my chest...
