I agree. I know people credit the STI and Evo for only having an advantage when launching but my Evo feels leagues faster at highway speeds than my Z was (both 03's). The Z was more stable but there's no question my Evo pulls harder in every gear.

If you are into racing, save up to buy a turbo, dont nickel and dime regular bolt ons (trust me i did it for 4 years and finally went FI this year) and really give that STI a run for his money. +1 on keeping it on the track.

Evo/sti will always "feel" like it pulls harder, its called hitting the boost and feeling the torque at once.

Admittedly, I have gotten into a few races in the past but after considering the potential impact on others (fathers, mothers, children were what came to mind mostly) I decided to stop. I feel pretty good about sticking to that decision ever since.

If your racing is on the track, my apologies.
