excuse my previous direct assult, it was uncalled for.

go to a track, see what's there... See where cars are classified. See which cars compete head to head. WRX's, EVO's, M3's, S4's, STR4's all compete head to head in some venue. There's no right and wrong about competition, no book that says these cars match up head to head. I'd say, that speaking only in terms of price, the evo and the sti make a good match, but the difference in price is only slightly more than the difference in price between a wrx and an evo, or a wrx and a srt4, or a used m3, or a s4.
There's no right or wrong about it. So, fighting about it, on the internet, is like a gold in the special olympics.
