Once my FD is back up I'll take it to Volvo meets and continue bringing the Vovlo to RX7 meets lol

Jordan I was talking about the Evo, not its owners Altho most of their owners are ugly, unlike us 7 owners. We are f*ckin hott

Yea ummm, NO.
No offence, im not a wagon guy. I'll roll a sedan, but im not rolling the littel brother to the mini van..lol
the subaru is nice, but the guy i talked to said that the heads on them suck ***** and hold back the power. where the evo has the 4g63 and has been around forever and is strong and cheap to mod if i ever feel the need to. i know you can just throw a walbro fuel pump, and a boost controller on the evo and run 12s all day long.
But first i have to get rid of the honda, so i have a nice size chunk of change to lower the loan amount .

Well it's easy to get to 12's when the car runs 13's stock... So you could do the same with the STi And look better while doing it! IMO the 4g63 head would be just as restricting. The Evo just doesn't seem to make mid-high range power which I would attribute to the head... The STi does a better job of distributing power throughout the entire rpm range... We could debate this forever. Ultimately it's your decision and you WILL be judged for it lol

BTW you can get the 850R in a sedan

lol Zack (zack4173) always comes out in his hatch, but it's stock except for a rear pillar brace. He doesn't hot rod it, just a good commuter. It's always a fun topic of discussion, as was my SHO

ahahahahahaha OMG Jordan swap meet pics ftmfw!!!

And Rob... you could pick up an 850R for 8k or less... 250hp, lots of torque, and very reliable and easy to mod. Chris and Michelle's wagon ran 13's on the stock ecu. I've driven it and I can say it is lightning quick on 9lbs... Bump it up and I can't imagine the power it will make

Since TopGear was already brought up, here is a good one that shows just how "good" an EVO is...

FYI that Evo wasn't even available in the US so your video is moot. The best we got was the MR, which Jeremy said was the best overall. PLUS, I don't even see the STi anywhere in that area of the chart. AND the ******* STi sounds like a broken down porsche with a cylender out....
