EVO
0-60 5.0

0-130 28.5
1/4 13.6@101
Top speed 156 redline limited
STi
0-60 4.6
0-100 12.4
0-130 24.5
1/4 13.2@103
top speed 145 governed
their curb weights are identical (3260) the EVO is the 2.0L running at 19.5lbs of boost. the STi is a 2.5L running 14.5 boost.
Road and Track had the EVO in their speed test they also had a drive owith the STi and got imilar numbers for it, but there was some large deviance in the EVO results. The were at Ford's Arizona Proving Ground and the EVO posted 0-60 in 4.59 (to do this required "A dizzying 5000-rpm launch with a gentle feathering of the clutch) the quarter mile was done in 13.08@105.12. the 0-100-0 was done in 16.56 and 0-100 was accomplished in 12.45. from 100 it took 292 ft to stop. (tied for third in the test.. tied Z06, Viper SRT10 and Mosler MT900 Photon beat it.) top speed was of course governed again.
Mototrend reports the following, just to add another dimension:
Sti (2004):
0-60: 4.87
1/4 Mile: 13.23 @ 104.6
60-0: 111 ft
Slalom(The most important part!): 69.1 mph
Evo (2003):
0-60: 4.59
1/4 Mile: 13.08 @ 105.1
Braking: 106 ft.
Slalom: 71.4
They attribute the weak numbers in the Sti to it being right off the assembly line. I might trust car and drivers test numbers a bit better in that case, however apparently MT is paying some better drivers, if you compare the two evo times. MT also has the Sti on sale in June 2003. So assuming the original post is recent (Im to lazy to check if there are dates on these things) its entirely possible. One reason to stay away from the evo is from what I understand the trannies are weak. They break under stock power. The suburu's hotter looking anyway.
With that, I believe the speed test your quoting was in MT, not road and track. Wel okay, I dont believe, Im looking at it right now.
