Evo VIII or WRX STi?

A regular car??? Are we talking about the same car that won north american car of the year in 2002 for most publications? The same car that goes 0-60 in 5.9 secs with like 240 pounds of tourque. A regular car that would cost me about the same as an Accord. Looks are a bit of a question yes, the rally blue one in all the commercials has a bunch of mods on it that would cost an extra $8-10k. I could probably swing a 3-4 year old WRX for like $22-25k (Canadian, before taxes), a new WRX runs around $36k base and a new STi runs like $48k base. As for the Evo, Im pretty sure it wont even be available in Canada because of some engine standard we have that the US doesnt. So it will be at least 3-4 years until the next edition that Canadians will be able to buy one.

The other problem I have with buying something like an STi is that I would never be able to drive it the way it deserves to be driven, not without paying some insane tickets at least. I commute 250km round trip to school on a 100km/hour highway that is packed with speed traps. Anyone doing over 125km is playing with fire.

Ive also thought about a more economical option like a Sentra Spec-V or Lancer, but I just love Subarus especially the AWD for Canadian winters. My dad drives a 99 Outback Limited and its extremely comfortable and easy to drive in all conditions for something that is considered an SUV.

Btw does anyone know the rough specs on my 93 Sable? I know its a V6, but Im interested to find out the exact HP, fuel efficiency etc...

Oh and no one is allowed to knock the WRX until they have watched some rally races (which the WRX teams usually win). Its unbelievable what some of those cars/drivers can do.

on an open highway a camaro will destroy an sti, but from a dead stop... 0-60 the sti crushes him, but if you kept going for a quarter mile, it gets real close, depends on who the better driver is.

if all you care about is going really fast in a straight line, yeah, the camaro is a good choice.

I think he's confused.. I think altezza is a company that makes aftermarket parts. All those clear tail lights that seemed so cool a few years ago, but now everyone's sick of them.. that's altezza.

ya Altezza is the Lexus IS 300.. =p

but it's like the racing type..
