It has been brought up, and you have to question whether it's really an AS
car and belongs there, or is conservatively classed and really isn't an AS
car at all. It's not like an EVO is a threat to a C4 Vette....

Is an EVO really that much faster in SP trim, that you feel it doesn't
belong where you go?

The EVO has been specifically banned from STX. If the displacement limit
were 2.5L for turbos in STX, the STI would be on that list too.
Though I feel the EVO, as it stands, should be in STX... It's the one we
don't have yet with the magic differentials that I think should not be.
