Re: 2008 AWD Battle
lol I give up. I still like the Evo more, but that's just me. I hate the way all 3 cars look but the Evo looks a LOT better than the other 2 IMO.

Re: 2008 AWD Battle
+1...Similar to the WRX TR "tuner ready". Comes with the same HP/TQ as the regular WRX, but excludes a lot of stuff (upgraded wheels, etc.) cuz its ment to be modified anyway.

Re: 2008 AWD Battle
that trim will be popular, and it makes sense. Its just that the Evo X and the WRX STI are "race ready" out of the box, and these days, Factory upgrades are becoming more desired than aftermarket overhauls....IMO

Re: 2008 AWD Battle
haha, brain fart.
I like the Evo in this battle, but the Driver programmable Diff. is a sick nasty feature in the STI. The facts again\/\/
**driver-programmable electromechanical limited-slip center differential. A torque-sensing mechanical locker varies the torque distribution from its default 41/59 front/rear split to as much as 55/45 or 25/75.
note- I dont know if this feature is old news, but its ground breaking to me.

Re: 2008 AWD Battle
Something similar is already on the older STI's as well
DCCD - Driver Controlled Center Differential
http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/.../photo_22.html
"In manual mode, DCCD allows the driver to select center differential lock-up to optimize All-Wheel Drive performance for varying driving conditions. The driver first selects manual mode with a console-mounted button and then turns a thumbwheel on the center console to select from among six levels of lock-up. Increasing the locking factor keeps more power at the front wheels (max. 50:50 torque split with 100 percent lock-up selected), which the driver might want in certain driving conditions or on particular road surfaces."
