so let me get this straight. Your want awd and you live in jersey where roads are covered by snow about 10 out of 365 days. You also want it so bad that you are willing to pay an extra 12 grand for it? Not the mention insurance being higher? Lol go do it then, to me it doesnt sound like its worth it.
wrx sti...trade worth it ?

ding ding ding, you're correct ! 
Snows in nj varies, sumtimes, it snows more than 10 days, it also rains a couple times. I just wanted to try sumting different, i have friends with evos and sti's, and they are a blast to drive.I'm not saying that ms3 is not a blast to drive, i just wanted to try sumting different. Where i can get traction on any circumstances
.
On the plus side, if i get lucky refinancing my house next year, i might be able to keep the ms3, and have my wife drive the sti!!!!

Where did you get this info? The STi stock has consistantly beat the EVO at Tsukuba
EVO / STI
2006 1:05:07 / 1:04:72
2005 1:04.88 / 1:04:17
2003 1:05:30 / 1:04:69
2001 1:05:17 / 1:06:56
1998 1:04:69 / 1:06:73
1996 1:07:00 / 1:05:92
1994 1:06:52 / 1:06:26
1992 1:10:90 / 1:07:99
Plus....
the new STi is heavier, in fact it is heavier then my Suby wagon
3373 lbs. for the STI (with optional lighter BBS wheels)
3355 lbs. for the 05 LGT MT wagon non-limited (with pretty porky stock wheels, 45 lbs. a piece).

Edmund's comparo between a new STI and Shelby Mustang. Click 3rd video on the right.
2007 Ford Shelby GT vs. 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX STI Video

well keep in mind thats with an extreamly good driver in perfect driving conditions. My 04 scooby is said to run 13.29 sec in a 1/4 mile STOCK. I haven't came close... closes i've got was 13.7 at 90F and 100% humidity. Now have I seen it done? Yes, on streetfire.net a stock STi ran 13.1 with perfect reaction time and nice weather.
Oh btw.. nice Avitar (boobs)
ahh super street tested it that explains why i dont know about it since i dont really like that mag. what did they say about it? honestly i love the new evo styling and finally IMO subaru has come out with somthing thats handsom instead of fugly (though i think that the scoobies look better than the outgoing evos...to much lancer in it for me to like) if those times for the qt mi are correct the subi is faster now than the evo, good for them.
I only read it like really quick when I was @ Barnes & noble waiting for the GF to get a book
The most I remember reading is that they compared the Evo X to an Evo 9 (drove them both back to back)....... they said the Evo 9 is more fun to drive....... but the Evo X is easier to drive FASTER (than the evo 9)
Wasn't the STI always faster stock for stock? I thought the Evo was faster around the track and through the slalom, but the STI was always faster in the 1/4 ??
My favorite part in this video is at the 4:14 mark when he is talking about the 2007 Ford Shelby GT.
"If fun to you is autographing the tarmac of your local Wal-Mart parking lot, the Shelby has got the goods."(burnout)
i just watched it.......... man if I were to choose between buying one of those cars....... I'd go with the Shelby hands down....... its simply the matter of having a more unique car. you're liable to see a lot more STIs on the road than you will a Shelby...... to date I've only seen 2 Shelbys and that was in Florida and the other in Tennessee
same here, except I dont like the look of the new model Saleens. it would have to be a previous model Saleen or the new Shelby GT500.... those are the only mustangs I'd really like. Though I have to admit I would be hard pressed to turn down an 03-04 Mustang Cobra
