Evo = fwd tranny with a transfer case tacked on.

STI = real awd

I’m not talking about how it behaves in whatever hypothetical situations you come up with, it’s just the fact that the Evo is a FWD transmission with a transfer case. Please, by all means explain to me how this is better than an AWD system like the STi has.

what does “better” mean?

I would put both machines on par with each other as far as handling goes on all terrains, some might even give the nod to the Evo so how does having a 100% symmetrical AWD system matter?

i feel like its 2 totally different cars. ide prefer the EVO though.

it may have a stiffer ride, but i enjoy that, especially while im young and can stiall handle that

awd is great in the winter

german cars are over-engineered

There both different types of cars it all depends on what you want…

The Evo is boy racer style car that your probably better off with if you want to beat the shit out of something and/or highly modify one of the two. (Even though it’ll prob break…I kid…lol)

While the BMW is more of a refined car mature car that you would still be able to have a lot of fun with and modify even though it’ll be more expensive. Also that BMW coverage sounds pretty nice.

I’m sure you already know these things but I just thought I’d throw them out there.

Hmm… the BMW Getrag will take 1000hp… the BMW stock block will do 600whp. Yeah, the Evo will take more abuse…

I already know your BMW biased because you hate Evo’s even though I think what I said was pretty neutral. How much power it can put down before it blowing up wasn’t what I meant. By "beat the shit out of " I mean like Rallycross/Autocross/Road Course/Tossing Around in Winter kind of stuff.
