He's got the right idea with the wing. That looks much better than the stock ricer one. In fact, even the evo wing would look better than the stock sti one, because it doesn't look like a bookshelf as much. Now to put in an fmic and do away with that stupid scoop.
I used to be a subaru freak, but after seeing numerous comparisons between the two where the evo beats out the sti every single time, I think I'm switching sides. Besides, the evo just looks better. Clean and sharp front, and a clean back as well. And if I ever bought an sti, I would have to dyno it, since it seems that it doesn't make the claimed power. How else would an evo with less power, same weight and less displacement beat it in acceleration?
Although I've never driven neither, I love to magazine race. I'm always doing it, because I have no life. |

#7, dude, you can get those wings stock. AWD cars aren't usually the best for power loss from the engine to the wheels. Anywhoo I think these look better than Evos. |

#8, What are you talking about? No matter if the car is awd, fwd, or rwd, the engine would still make the same power. I was saying that even though it has 300hp, the sti is slower than the 286hp evo with less displacement. And I don't remember tthe sti being available with anything other than the bookshelf ricer wing. Did you even read what I said?

#9, no. They have both kinds of wings. As for power, drivetrain has NOTHING to do with power, dumbass. Look, fact is, it's slower because it weighs slightly more. |

RRB: Drivetrain has a shitload to do with the APPLICATION of power
GN: SCC's test show the cars to be in an almost dead heat. Both car's wings suck ass in terms of looks. STI's come in other colours, but MOST are blue. I think STI's are better looking but EVO's sound better. And we as North Americans loose out on the best versions of both cars. Europe gets the Ultimate EVOS and UKDM WRX STI PPP LB's, bastards |

#12, I know it has to do with application of power. He said it had to do with power itself. |

What is all this drivetrain loss mumbo jumbo? All I said is that the sti should be faster than the evo because it has a better power to weight ratio. Yes, it weighs more, but also has more hp. 11.0 lbs/hp for the subaru, and 11.2 lbs/hp for the mitsu. Understand yet?
And I cannot find an option for a low profile wing on the subaru website, nor can I find mention of one anywhere else. It only comes with the bookshelf wing. Educate yourself before posting.

"Of course, like most cars of its type, there is a big wing on the rear deck, though unlike the STi, it's optional — a "low-profile" spoiler is standard."

#14, 5.8 seconds to 60 in an STi? those numbers can be achieved by a regular WRX. The STi is at least 1 second quicker to 60.

#16, Indeed what? I said that I liked the low-profile wing on the sti, and you said "you can get it stock". Sure, you can get it stock on the wrx...that's not what we're talking about, now is it? |

#14, Dude, who gives a rat's ass about the wing. And the STi and EVO are so damn close spec wise it's not even funny, you're talking about 13 horsepower and .02 pounds of boost difference. And of course there's gonna be some hp loss from the crank to the wheels. |
