Which Would You Rather Own?, Stock Boosted Cars Options

[devilsden97]

Basic idea is, I was speaking to Maskedman about this topic. (in around about way)

We were saying how all the NEW cars, (pretty general rationalization) we wouldnt buy. Long story short, we got into discussing prices, and how EVOs and STIs hold the market for the "sports sedan". Then I remembered running across an article in Car and Driver, or some magazine like that. Saying that Mazda's sport division, MazdaSpeed, was putting out a Turbocharged, AWD, version of there already criticly aclaimed version of the 6. (the Mazda 6 won numerious awards for value, and styling, when it was initially introduced)

So it got me thinking, Which would you rather own? and Why?

i voted for the EVO9.

hands down the best car out of all of those. my buddy has one and let me drive it as well as go on a few rides with him. its an amazing car. the power, grip, handeling and brakes are just amazing. not to mention they are very easy to mod. he dynoed bone stock at 260hp at the wheels. then last week he got a 3in turbo back exhaust and went back to the dyno. he did 292hp! his only mods are the ehxaust and a filter on the intake instead of the factory air box! they run 20psi stock, and have an electronic cam timing (think vvtli, vtec, etc.) he said that with an ecu flash and an mbc (just to hold the boost steady) the car will make 340hp the wheels.

i used to really like the 05 sti. blue with gold bbs rims looks just so awesome on that car. but after learing more about them, and talking to alot of their owners, its clear that the evo9 is a much better car.
