Oh my where to start. Sti's and Evo's are nice (I'm going to be trading the crossfire in for one in the next month or two). AWD, 4 doors, and a back seat, which is a huge gain for someone who can't afford two real nice cars like me. Performance, practical, moods available at the click of a button for those who mod. Yeah, the STI probably would of smoked the crossfire. But anyone can drive in a straight-line (well, almost everyone). Take it to a real track with some curves, then it's more than just about the car, it comes down to the driver. Chances are, that kid on a track would end up off the track, being to cocky and over estimating capabilities of his car. That's my 2 cents. Buy what you like and drive it as you please. But honestly, I can't stand seeing nice sports cars, not driven the way that they were made for once in a while. I see vipers and vettes, driving on open highways getting passed by soccer moms. Open that BABY up, and let her rip, or give me the keys so I can!!
