    Evo RS..

    http://autoweek.com/cat_content.mv?p..._code=05031754

    Less weight, a LSD, a lower price, and the absence of that phallic wing.

    I dig.

    Much better. Thye bitch about downforce at high speed but high speed stability can be acheived without some gaudy wing.

    They are just mad because it doesnt have A/C.
    Im now E30less.

        Seems like a great idea... would be the perfect auto-x/track bitch/daily driver (as long as you don't need A/C).

        As far the VW R32 is concerned, its looks awesome, awd is cool, and 3.2L VR6 probably sounds bad-ass. But compared to the EVO and STi, the R32 is heavier, slower, and doesn't handle nearly as sharply.

          slower YES heavier YES, but def, handles better then the EVO and STI, and if you dont belive me jsut ask TIFF NEEDELS. BTW the GOLD comes with Leather RECARO's and indash Navigation system. the Evo has no A/C and the STI no radio :?

            I think I'll stick to my Japanese Spec Evo's thanks... The RS has been around since the Evo 5.

            I'd rather have an STi S202 anyday.

              handling is subjective.

                This could be the biggest understatement i've ever heard.


                So very very true, Rob.

                    Part of what makes the EVO look so cool is that phallic wing. It belongs on that car, unlike most of the other wings you see. It fits it, just like the wing on the new STi does.

                      What the EVO and Scooby don´t have is a 3.2 motor,

                      There are definitly kits out there right now that push the R32 beyond 400hp wich is very exspensive on the other two,

                      I think this R32 is wild, a freaking Golf with a huga 3.2 engine already 230hp and all motor and 4wd, FI and this is the new import king,

                      figures in the 500hp+ are so easy on this thing, enough to blow almost anybody off the road, save for some heavily modded V8´s and Supras, Skylines and of that sort, but in a drag start the 4wd will assist alot,

                      Can´t wait for some tripped out ones,
