I were buying now, I would most likely take a 2006 EVO IX MR over a 2006 STi. Some of the reasons why, in 2003, I picked the STi over the EVO: price difference (STi = $500 over invoice, Evo was marked up $5000 over MSRP); STi has better quality and better reliability; I had a 3000GT before the STi and I wasn't too thrilled with Mitsu, plus the local dealer is horrible; low end torque is much better for every day driving; a bit softer suspension, making the STi a better daily driver; super cheap looking interior in the Mitsu; basically, I didn't think that the extra cost of the Mitsu was worth it over the STi, same reason why many of you pick the RX-8 over the STi.

You guys need to lay off. I have said nothing more than the EVO/STi are great performance cars. Yes, better than the RX8 in performance. But thats it. If I were looking at the total package, I would go for the RX8! As to why I own one.

eric sti---Look, everyone has their reasons and some are more radical then others. I just get the feeling that you go out of your way to put members down because they love their 8's. Everyone on here is entitled to that and some ppl actually don't need a 13 second rally/road race car as their daily driver. Remember, you are posting on the rx8club and it shouldn't suprise you that rx8 fanbois exist here. I also feel that ppl calling the 8 feminine is because of the lack in power moreso then looks. If the 8 had 300 hp, I beleive the 8 would look more masculine.

If I had an sti, I wouldn't care what the rx8club thinks about it. And if I did care I wouldn't expect that everyone will agree.
To me the sti vs rx8 is a silly comparo to begin with.

What is really a shame is that there is an STi thread that I am involved with going on on srtforums right now, and the (majority of) kids posting over there have a better attitude than those posting in this thread.
I have no problem with people who love their 8's - again, I really like to drive my wife's; it is a very fun car to drive - what I have a problem with are people like roaddemon who crap all over every other car on the road because they think that their car is king.

What's wrong with being a fan(your term fanboi) of the car I love and own on that car's forum? I see no wrong here.
Did you say "kids" I imagine that is the majority on the STI forum. I'm no kid and that's who the EVO/Sti appeal to. It has more of a youth cult following. They have differnt demands. This forum is not like that. This forum has a much broader base and appeals to the real sportscar owner as well as other sporty brands. I appreciate your opinions so why put me down?

There's a difference between being a fan of a car, and being a fanboi. I am a fan of the RX-8. You are a fanboi. You have shown a consistent history of invading every STi and Evo thread only to post that you think the RX-8 is a way better car. Not only that, but your main reasons are all subjective (i.e. you think the RX-8 "looks better"). You have never driven an STi or Evo, so how can you comment on them? Here are some choice comments of yours:
Again, how can you say this having never driven an MS6, STi, or Evo?
It is laughable that you think that the RX-8 gets stares and the STI and Evo get laughed at. Having never driven an STi or Evo, how would you know? From the experience of owning both an STi AND an RX-8, the STi gets more respect and admiration from fellow drivers.

I have no desire to go over there. I'm not a "rally car enthusiast" I have no interest in that one. How did you escape from there? I'll tell them to come get you. They can find you here at the rx8 forum.

C'mon dude, Your opening old wounds by posting my rather tongue in cheek comments from the past. Your too thin skinned. Let it go bro. You know I'll post late on the next evo thread. You can try to get back then. Take a rest, I'll see ya on the rebound.
