Now which EVO are you talking about? The EVO MR? or the EVO RS? because the MR is similar to an STI in performance due to its extreamly short gears (6-speed), and also its performance upgrades from the RS. The EVO RS is quite a bit slower then the MR usually trapping around 101-104.

I love how you post a picture of your car driving in the sand and deep snow and you're like "I bet your car can't do dat"
Are you serious?? Who the hell would want to do that to their car?? Nobody buys a sports car to go off-roading, thats just plain stupid.
The number of Scubie and Mitsucrappy trolls on here is amazing...

Thats cool the EVO's and STI's are faster then Cobalts, however it's too bad they look like someone who forgot to wipe their ass.
As someone else said in a different post,
EVO-STI= Rally car
Cobalt SS/SC= Sport Compact

"I dynod at 417 awhp(stock turbo), Im slapping on a big one next month. But if youre still up for it, sure lol."
I am always up for a friendly run, but i have a feeling those numbers are from you cranking the boost up to 28lbs on race gas... Please correct me if Im wrong...

I love my Cobalt, but I know it's a whole difference beast than the STI / Evo. Stiff as it is, it's a lot less punishing as a daily driver than either of the rally cars. (and the 2389057345 other differences as mentioned in the previous pages) However, there's no experience quite like a 4-wheel burnout.

I live in Nebraska 85% of the roads around me are a drivers dream. Very little traffic, scenery and plenty of room to stretch out the SS's legs.

You own an STI, of course you're going to think it looks better.
At least the Cobalt has a nice profile and tasteful styling (besides maybe the wing), the STI is about as boy racer/factory rice as you can get. Its practically a caricature of itself, in fact it makes me laugh when I see them

little sti nut hugging going on....
He didn't say the thought the car was a Pos or slow etc... he said it's boy racer-ish which it could be defined as. The big hood scoop, wing, and 4 doors (yes I know the hood scoop is for the Tmic and the wing adds xx lbs of downforce at 120mph). The only thing that makes it less boy racer-esk than a cobalt, srt4 etc... is the price tag.
