by the way, i've read that the braking system on the evo and sti are almost identical. the sti puts better times on the track seeing that it has more power and they both weigh (amazingly) the same...3250 if i remember correctly. but every article i've read has the evo handling better. one magazine, i think c&d but i'm not sure, actually had a retired rally driver drive them both, and said he felt safer with evo at it's peak than with the sti at it's peak. i think the sti would make a better street car though, because you aren't going to race around sharp turns anyway (unless you have a deathwish). as for the 350z and rx-8, i haven't read much about them. they both look pretty cool. i like the rx-7 better. the G35 just ticks me off. should have been a skyline. dumb move in my opinion.
also, about the evo, 19.5 pounds of boost is pretty cool, but i wonder how well they will hold to mods. cars like that are already so tweaked, a lot of times it takes serious money to do anything much with them. the sti pushes 14.5 i think. i would feel safer upping the boost on that the evo. but that's just me.
