bengee you putz. The Subaru Impreza gets it's ass firmly kicked by the same-age Evos.

Imprezas suffer from being badly modified more than the Evos - although I don't know why this is. The official technicians are c*nts too. The paintwork is so thin that looking at it scratches it. The panels are so thin that air will actually diffuse straight through them... Seriously - you can push your finger right through them. They lose out to the Evo on acceleration, cornering AND braking (don't ever try an emergency stop from three-figures mph in a Scooby).

As for the looks... Evo and Evo 2 match the v1 and v2 Scooby - boring, Japanese family saloon cars. Evo 3 - 6 are rather... odd looking. Like they crashed into Halfords and everything stuck on. Scooby v3 - v6 are just as bad - I mean the bonnet scoop on the v6 is 3 inches high! Evo 7 was the beginning of the tone-down, and what did Subaru do? The v7, now known as the "Bugeye" - so unpopular that the front-end design lasted 6 months. Both the Evo8 and the v8 Impreza look just fine, but from opposite ends - the Evo 8 is a mildly angular saloon car, which hints at performance; the Scooby is like a Hyundai Accent on steroids, but still fine.

My brother has an Subaru Impreza RB5 (1999), which is consistently rated as the best Impreza ever built (not the fastest, that's still the 22B, but the best). And he pulls out of the way for Evos.
 
lol hyundai accent on steroids.... so wrong.... you can never compare korean and japanese cars..... i am not talking about past evos and scoobies i am talking about the ones coming to the us FINALLY in the forms of the evo 8 and the STi... first time in us... both companies have sent us different versions than that around the world... as i said i believe that the best for the buck in the US is the soobie for the reasons i said... i am in no way saying that a wrx can stand up to a evo or anything of the sort... i am saying that the evo 8 in the us is slightly too toned down from its japanese form... i have no doubt of teh evo 8 true performance as the evo has always been ahead of the subaru team... but i doubt the machine they are selling in the us... subru seems to have more faith in americans than mistubishi does... not all americans want big "Sports car" that seriously lack in many ways... ( not talking about classics).... sorry if i was not clear earlier... forgot not everyone from us...

Can anyone think of another car which more deserves a big sticker with the word "RICE!" stamped on it? The Focus ST170 is nice - reasonably fast FF. The Focus RS is nice too - genuine Impreza competitor, even IF it's still FF and has a little bit of torque steer. But no, you go for the pimped-out, looks-like-it's-owned-by-a-14-year-old one...
 
hey famine have you ever seen an ford rs200??? i love that car.... would gladly pay the mill i have seen people pay for it even if its not the prettiest car in other peoples eyes... what a beast

I'm just comparing the looks, not anything else. Unless you can think of a good reason I should compare a 1.3i/1.5i FF old-personmobile to a rally homolgation car... :D

:D

So the US gets different versions? The UK/European Imprezas are usually down on power compared to the Japanese ones (220hp for a UK-spec Turbo, 276hp for a Japanese one), but the Evos are nigh-on identical...

You have no idea just how much you're my best friend now :D The only other car I like more is the F40, but the RS200 is king of cars :D

You can get an RS200 for around £25k, an Evo for £50k-£100k. I don't know how much the GTO would go for, but the million sounds about right.
 
:drool: oh man i saw somewhere that it could make 0 to 60 mph in like 2.3 sec... that is one fast car... too bad it missed out on its deserved groupe b rally glory :( ... i never knew there was a gto version... thought the best was evo)... sometimes i wish i lived in europe... or japan... but no the best cars that wer ever made by a american company close to my lifetime we not sold on our shores... y because they think they know what we want... but they dont... i just wanna see one and watch it drive by... BTW i also like the f40 ( assuming you are discussing the ferrari) i believe it may be the best car that ferrari has built ( even better than the enzo just cause a ferrari is supposed to be sleek not muscley)... the back and the front are perfect... weird how we life the same cars but i am biased toward the subbie and you to the evo... lol... one day i will import the rs200... its beautiful... 4wd mid ship... fast and scary...
 
oh yeah abou the subbie and evo dif in usf...
SUBBIE 2.5 liter rather than 2.0... its got a straight 300 hp... better suspension than the evo... strong inverted strusts to be able to handle more cornering loads withought unwanted wheel chamber... same engine bells and whistles like water sprayer... pressure gauges bla bla... evo has front mounted intercooler which is better in all ways cept for the fact that you can steel it and break it easy... much better performance wise tho 9 never understood y one would do such a thing to your intercooler... y not front mount)... for practicality the evo is slightly cheaper ( like 1-2k in dollars) and the sti rear seats do not fold down... there is no point however in gettin a wrx and not an sti... the extra 6k is def worth the money... the sti looks better... has a better engine... and is just worth the extra cash.... for more specs go to us websites... i know cause i looked at both evo or sti specs like 20 pages of them... highlighted what impressed me about each... sti won... but that is in usa only... dunno elsewhere...
 
and famine... i guess you are right on the looks... you could also say it looks like a big camry... a few years back they had the same light lol... but man the new front end is a BIG improvement over the old bug eyes
 
i was thinking of gettin STi but i think i will stick with getting my used 944 turbo s... sigh not quite a 928 gts but it will do i am poor and in college

LOL Famine....NAme any other focus that handles over a Lateral G stock. yes that's a FF car with over a G stock..What does it pull 1.3? That's rediculous for a FF Car, so don't say it's a crappy car because it's not..it also has 300HP I think....it's 300+ maybe...

Lol The Subbie 2.5L as in the new STI is nothing but a Impreza RS engine with turbo and a good transmission..The 22B is the best Scoobie engine by far..If only the 22B got the same transmission as the new 2.5L STi...
I still like the Evo more than the Scoobie in MOST cases..But there are a # of scoobie STI models that would hand Evo 8's 7's 6's and 5's Their azz

This game is anything but a racing simulation game. Then, how can you explain me TVRs can go 10 laps without piting, Vipers regaining leads in 30 seconds after pitting on stickers...damn, this game is filled with lots of incorrections.

Bah! I just wasted 12 minutes of my life trying to race fair and square the PRO FR with a supped up RX8, I was 1 second behind that TVR, then all of a sudden it went up to 8 seconds, it seemed the more time the car raced, the more light it became. Then it went on and on without piting for 10 straight laps.

The next GT4, I hope they fix the gay way of playing the game. I want more restrictions on the races, I dont want to see any f.... TVR Griffith when all the other cars are heavy and bulky pigs.

I completely understand what you are saying man. this is more evident in the FF pro race. you can beat the **** out of them but its gonna be worthless, because at some point in the race you have to enter the pits. and gues what?? the beetle cup car and honda civic spoon will pass you!!!! why? because stupid pollyphony programed the cars so they would last years with one set of tires while you have to enter the pits even twice. in the Fr is also evident. and it sucks that you HAVE to have hard tires to actaully win, even if you are 10 seconds ahead of them and are turning very good lap times. and yes, it also sucks the other way around, when you win because of their tire wear. its really stupid.

this is the truest thing in the world. you are even faster than them, and all of a sudden bang!!! they blow past you. even if you were some 10 seconds ahea. even if your tires arent even yellow yet. bye. and it goes on until you just quit the race because you have no chance to win and its so stupid. heh.

Cano

Im with you man.
 
yeah true.... i wonder if the ai is on harder tires to last longer and that is one of the reasons y they are slower but acc initially pretty much the same... or maybe its driving style... try to not wear you tires until halfway what you usually do before you pit... but i feel you wining cause of passing is not gratifying unless you dont expect to win anyways... i on with an almost stock s2000 type v ( i think na 1 or 2) and slicks... and yet for most of hte race i was in 5th or 4th... the ai does slow down faster than you do slightly when i was on slicks. seems like they were on t3.... and driving more carefully...
 
i think one of hte reasons y the programmers made some cars not pit is to challenge people who were using really fast cars all throughout the game and change there driving style...
 
THAT FOCUS IS A PRODUCTION CAR!!!?!?!?!
What was Ford thinking...:odd:
 
Heh...I think I got some right here...:lol:
 
Funny thing is, that the Viper isn't really made for closed course racing...it's more of a top speed car...;)
 
hmmm what is better the g's of acceleration or death defying top speeds.... ( you can defy death with the g's of acc on a really thin and tight course...)

acceleration any day baybee cause that is what wins the heart... top speed is just how much money can we pour into this car.... ok yay it can go 212 in a street legal form... woo hoo who the hell will go that fast ont he street... give me rubber bernung acc and i will be a happy boy... but i mean rubber burning acc
 
But take it out to the 1 mile long strip, and it will kill most of the cars there...;)
 
however you can get your jollies.... i find turning much more exciting than bam wam i am done mam ( :confused: i confuse myself)
