Okk, soo heres the deal =) ever since I was about 7, playing gt3, I had been using the evo for all my races, rally, circuit, etc. its been my go-to car, and a favorite of mine since then. I can still remember using my old dualshock, racing a 500hp tommi makinen evo 6 in championships against jgtc cars and pulling off wins everytime =)Primarily however, I used it for rally, and over the years rally/wrc type events have been my primary interest. 10 years, and it still continues to handle and compete to my expectations nearly perfectly. Stress the nearly. In those ten years, 3 gt games have come out, me buying all of them, and ive begun to see other options become available to me. For example, the evos mortal enemy the impreza sti. In a nutshell, it handles very nicely, being just the rite amount of stiff (the evo 8 showed itself to have a little understeer) and pushing out quite a bit of power on the straights and lift-offs. Another option was the ford focus and rs200 wrc models. Both strike me as attractive, well balanced rides perfect for rally. The rs200, being the group b beast it is, has actually shown itself to be one of my fastest offroad racers, beating the one car I absolutely dominate rally with, no questions asked: the lancer evo super rally car. This car just dominates the dirt and snow, being so quick and responsive- its almost cheating. So I repeat, soo far only a few cars seem to give me remarkably good times: the evo super rally, rs200 wrc, and the subie spec c 04.
In comes gt5. This is where my life story comes to an end. With the introduction of wrc, enhanced physics, and the Subaru/Mitsubishi war sparking absolutely terrific models, ive come at a bit of a road block (See wat I did there? =P) I JUST received gt5, so I havent gotten much experience with these AWD beasts, but I figured id ask the community what their opinion on the new models are. Lately, it appears to me that the lancer is losing its luster. Simply put, the impreza is dominating it on both the track and offroad in gt5, and im simply looking for some imput on which ride would be better. To be completely honest, I am a very clean rally driver. I brake early, I hug the turns, I refuse to hit walls or other drivers, and I take the road slow if necessary. Im actually a decent driver compared to some adults, and DEFINITELY compared to other Americans my age xD soo with that in mind, im simply asking if the impreza 07, 08 wrc, or 11 models have begun to completely dominate the evo 9, 10, and super wrc? Imput on the focus 07 wrc 08 would be appreciated too, along with any tune-ups or advice. Im new to gt5, soo any guiding words would be nice xD
p.s.- I am one of those stupid teenagers obsessed with ken block, so expect a stupid bias to American wrc drivers. Course, I enjoy pastrana and mr.foust as well =)

Both cars are fantastic, and strikingly similar (hence the rivalry). 👍
