I would wait for the new EVO...would hate for you to buy this current model when there is plans for a redesign.

So much cheaper and easier to get HP out of the evo platform than the Suby platform also...and the new front end on the STi is UNGODLY ugly

it just depends on your taste. some people love the hood scoop (like me and people i live around) while you and whoever you know may not. but regardless the STI 06 has much improvements such as it no longer has understeer, and also it isnt very hard to get more HP outta it. new up pipe and down pipe, exhaust, racing chip, boost timer, or replace ther turbo!

also when your upgrading the evo. sure it may be cheaper, but all your doing is MATCHING the STI. to beat it costs even more.

speaking from experience. the RX8 sucks. i have had mine for 11 months, and has a total of 14k miles right now (i bought it brand new with 7 miles). at 10k miles the engine flooded, and since then, its been at the dealership 4 times for the same/similar problems, which are mainly the spark plugs and incorrect air/fuel ratio. now, i am having the same problem. i am going to get rid of the piece of sh*t this week hopefully. if you want, you can buy it off me only $350 (thats tax included) for 13 more months.. and dont worry about the annoying problem, warranty covers it, im just sick n f*cking tired of the bull**** dealership, i dont have much time on my hands to go back n forth

edit: ill even throw in a pair of JDM clear corners from Tokyo for free

If you want an RX8, just do what we did for a customer, swap in a 13B single turbo!!

i like the rx8 interior... Red leather seats, shifter and console but it is slow as hell. +1 in installing a turbo on that shii..

RX-8 = the blow....

Evo = alright, but boosted DSM ain't reliable at all, especally if you decide to upgrade the turbo and all that.

350Z = the w3n.....
