Evo 6 or sti Ra
I'm looking at builing a cheap track car and don't know wether to go down the evo route. I only want a sensible 500bhp and I'm not bothered if the car looks like a piece of crap. I know what to do with subarus but is it time to change to an evo? Both versions come in between £6-8k on the models I'm looking at.
But which would be the cheapest best option for a sprint car ? |
Evo

It was the way I was leaning :)
My missus face dropped when I showed her another car I would buy :). I think she is scared it will be my only car but to be honest I can't suffer just an evo or Subaru as an only car :) |

To get an RA to 500bhp will cost twice what it would to get an Evo 6 to the same power.

I have a very clean and original 99 RA 555 Wrc limited that I'm considering selling (still not sure really) , even has the original factory fitted 22b front bumper

Not when you have loads of Subaru parts in your garage :) |
As a sprint/track car I would say the Evo, Power levels aside the Evo is a much better handling car and will need less spent on it to get it to go round corners faster then the Subaru, Having owned 400bhp Evo 6 and classic STi's I would say in a straight line the Subaru would be much quicker but a track car is not about straight lines so my personal choice would be the Evo for the track!!!:thumb:

Yeah, My missus is already doing my head in because i said I wanted another car. The blob will be definitely gone next year as I fancy a jaguar xkr so need some cash in to get one. |
I bought an EVO 6, Let the modding begin). Nah I'm going to be sensible and only go to 500 bhp :)

I'm going to Croft so I will see you there. My EVO build on paper is getting out of control as I'm now getting a tubular subframe and carbon prop :)
