Which do you think is better? I personally like the Evo, but i've seen some nice Scoobys. Which do you reckon would make a better car?

Evo vs Scooby
Well I have heard of the Evo's, but what is a Scooby?!?!
Scooby is a Subaru... in this case a WRX STI.
My preference is the STI. The STI's front/rear power split is more biased towards the rear, while the EVO is biased heavily towards the front. In theory, this would make the STI perform a little better, but they're still quite comparable on the road/track.
Maybe I just don't like Mitsu...

Two great jap cars, hard to chose, but would have to think long and hard about it

A subaru WRX STI eh?
I have driven a few STI's at work, and they blew my mind with how powerful and fun they were to drive. So I'd say the "scooby"...

Actually, here is a great article comparing the Scooby and the Evo...

The STI comes with a driver-controlled center differential (DCCD) which allows the user to choose exactly how much lock he or she wants in the center diff. It's not as easily understandable as the EVO's "snow", "tarmac" or "gravel" modes, but it more or less does the same thing.

Well, I know a guy who's owned ALOT of scooby's, and a couple of evo's.
His last evo (evo 7 extreme), lasted a week before getting rid of it, when the plan was to get rid of the scooby!
So ultimately, he seems to prefer the subaru every time, and this guy knows his stuff!
Personally, I think i'd have the Evo.... i've always been more a fan of them than subaru's.
