Replying to: rockylee (Jan 25, 2007 5:36 am) Who's going to win this tuner battle and why Historically speaking, the STi is always "purer" than the Evo without all the technology nannies. On the other hand, from numerous comparisons (especially the top gear), driving Evo is like playing a video game, one can drive it as aggressive as possible but the computer will sort everything out. To me I think it's a toss up. If you want full control, go with STi; a PS3/Xbox360 on wheels, then Evo. Which car gets the chic's (styling) Neither will get the "chicks" IMO (well, at least not my kind of chicks). The styling for both cars are too "ricey" for my taste so I would never consider these in any given time of my life. The chick-magnets in this group of cars are the M3 and CTS-V. Those 2 are aggressive in a subtle way but yet elegant. IS-F is close but lacks the "subtle" and "elegant" characteristics in my opinion (also too ricey). I think a regular IS body with a mild all around side-skirt, lower the suspension, 19" rims, fender vent like the M3's and the stacked quad-pipe will be better looking than the current IS-F. AMGs wouldn't be bad choices either if you are into 40-plus chicks (that's IMO of course).  PS, If I offended any female members with this post I am sorry. Y'all can be angry at Rocky because he started it...

Replying to: louiswei (Jan 25, 2007 6:13 am) Ummmm, I was hoping you would generalize on the chic part My mother is in her late 40's and likes the TL Type-S, Infiniti G35, Lexus IS 350, and loves the CTS-V Rocky

suck at posting links, but, winding road has video, and sound of the Audi R8 being tested. Wow........talk about car porn. Rocky, even the die hard GM lover has to admit the sound of this car is like crack cocaine.
