Ok shitters, time to settle it once and for all

Wrx if you can't afford the price of an evo.
Evo if you want to be able to change your own plugs.

What makes Mitsubishi's Active Diff AWD more special than Subaru's Asymmetrical AWD, or is this all just branding bullshit?

yeah but to be fair, the STi, WRX, and base Impreza are rather different cars.

should've just said WRX vs Evo. less keystrokes as well, to satiate your autistic need to be brief.

Suck me off, shitdick. I was asking models vs trims. You took it to the next level by comparing a fucking code noone uses for a specific car.

Impretzal then.

Yeah but the average non-autistic person knows what I mean, rather than supposing I'm comparing 2.0 GX to an Evo 9.

If you ask the average Subaru owner what they drive and they respond 'WRX STI' rather than 'Impreza' they are probably a faggot.

>they respond 'WRX STI' rather than 'Impreza' they are probably a faggot.
you do realize that the WRX is now considered its own model, rather an an Impreza, first, right?

also
>implications that any WRX owner calls it by an "Impreza" in conversation

Do you perhaps realise that the Impreza lineage spans back before you were born, and Subaru didn't actually separate the WRX and WRX STI (much in the same way an Audi S Line isn't a fucking separate car) from the Impreza line until the current generation?

Fucking shitposting busriders on my Veeky Forums? No surprise.

Evo. I used to be more into Subaru but now that we can import Evo 7's into Canada and I've seen a couple 5's and 6's, I'm definitely an evo fag. They just have a look about them.

>WRX is now considered
>now considered
>thus implicating knowledge of change in the standard
holy shit, do you run around calling 370z's "Datsuns" exclusively and get into miniature, internal fits of range whenever your friends go "oh, the Nissan?"

Myself and my crack team of post analysts have looked over your post and concluded you should kill yourself as soon as possible.

oh shit, you have post analysts? brb suicide

>Implying 370Zs aren't Datsuns and GT-Rs aren't Princes

Wow get a load of this pleb

That's not even remotely a fact.

A focus.

That was more a consequence of the STi being cheaper and having this fag shilling for them.

There's also the question of where could the Evo go after X. The STi still has the option of a facelift and a new FA20(25?)T engine, but the X was already using the 4B11T. Perhaps a factory turbo 4B12T and a facelift would've worked, but there was little else to be done to differentiate an Evo XI from its final series.

As for just adding more power to it,

>Evo/STi
>stock

Only benchracers think about stock performance of the two. The aftermarket is huge and inevitably dipped into by owners.

Evo, because understeering isn't cool.

Depends on the year.

If you can't change the plugs on an Impreza without bitching you probably shouldn't be wrenching, its not hard.

Both great cars and the majority of people who own them respect each others vehicles.

Delet this

Impreza
you may think of vape lords, but yellow evos with bodykits are far worse

>the Subaru is RWD-biased.
>the Evo is FWD where power occasionally gets mistakenly sent backwards
you really believe this? lmao

Does Subaru even have a trim to compare to the FQ360? I'm pretty sure it should blow the doors off any factory STI.

22b>evo iv

Spec-c /S20x

the FQ360 is a UKDM model, basically an evo mr gsr with a few simple mods

You're thinking of the FQ400. FQ360 is just a normal Evo with a couple of suspension upgrades.

Fact: they'll build an STI next year and the year after that.

>. FQ360 is just a normal Evo with a couple of suspension upgrades.
lol no.

Aren't they both 50/50 by default and the STi can go 70/30 both ways and the Evo can go up to 100% to the front to combat oversteer? Something like that?

An STi will last with proper maintenance.
An Evo will start coughing if the moons gravity interacting with Earths tidal waves upsets the cosmic balance of Gaia and aligns the seven sacred planets of Ziltron, which unleashes a cosmic ray of destruction that will wear out the piston rings on the Evo. Seriously. You know the saying about the man with the glass house?
That's what owning an Evo is like.

An STi is also probably cheaper nowadays since they're more numerous. If you want to go for the rarity factor, go with the Evo

DCCD and ACD both allow the default and maximum torque split to be changed on the fly. The Evo has AYC to break traction on the right rear tire to combat understeer (which is a huge problem if you have more than a third of the power going to the front wheels).

Oh, sorry. It's a GSR with a front lip and new wheels.

keep guessing

>GSR – 6-speed, Bilstein monotube shocks, aluminium roof, gauge pack, SAYC (Super Active Yaw Control), and double-din radio

>FQ-360 – 6-speed, Bilstein monotube shocks, AYC (Active Yaw Control), Ralliart Sports Meter Kit, carbon front splitter, Speedline alloy wheels, super unleaded petrol only

don't know where you got that information but it's incomplete

>impreza vs evo
>not sti vs evo or impreza vs lancer

I know what you meant but I still think you should leave.

Afaik the evo is 50-50 open centre diff. it locks up, and a locker or spool will always send just torque to the wheel with most grip because physics.
the computers just decide how aggressively the clutches locks.

All i know about the sti is that it had different torque splits through the years, 50/50, 35/65 and 41/59, LSD at the back (viscous i think), and some years (iirc the later ones with the 41/59 split) had a helical front diff.

I'm probably wrong about some of this though, it's from memory.

>Get the fuck out and kill yourself, Snaab, no one likes your shitty unreliable cars.

Actually, largely BECAUSE GM made this thing exist, I'd have an Evo X.

anecdotal evidence but every evo owner i've met is a pure autism when it comes to racing and driving

The Evo was the best.

However, it also quit, meaning that Subaru is going to be better in a few years.

Evo won just about every battle though. Still lost in the end, but 1000hp 4G63's are a lot more common then 1000hp Subie's.

>is this all just branding bullshit?
Pretty much all marketing terms. There's some difference in how much torque they can split to the rear, but that's it.

I own an STi. I'd own an Evo too.

They're both great cars and both have their ups and downs. I'll admit, upgrading the Evo is cheaper. The community in both has their retards and their cool guys.

I've always prefered Subaru over Mitsubishi, so in the end I'll take an STi, but I still do have that soft spot for Evos. I guess it would depend on what year Evo and STi I'm deciding between.

EVO is Number 1

Based on looks
Old Subaru better than old Mitsubishi
Modern Mitsubishi better than modern Subaru

>not Escort

Nothing can compete to the superior Cossies.

impreza because more affordable

Except I'm American and that's wrong. WRXs and STIs blow up if you even look at them funny. You can't do anything more than a exhaust/intake before they blow right up like a firework, and they break ringlands/head gaskets so often even stock Turbo Subarus usually end up getting new short blocks under 100k miles ($2000 from Subaru). Turbos like to blow up and send shavings through the rest of the oil galleys, oil pickups can crack and starve the motor unless you spend $300 for a Killer B or Group N pickup, etc

The Mitsubishis though? Absolute troopers. Do bolt ons on it, get a healthy 300-320whp, then just fluid changes and a timing belt at 60k (then you slap cams on and retune for 360-380whp). I've seen them take some bad abuse, buddy of mine had one a little over 600whp on a stock block/transmission with E85 until it puked a rod from a bad tune. Manley pistons and rods, went for 700whp before it got T-Boned. Even the Evo Xs are still pretty tough. The worst I've heard with Evos are transmissions from abuse and ACD/AYC pumps in salt states.

That's sexy as fuck. Shame were not getting an XI that looks like that
