power to weight and awd vs fwd from a roll. seriously who do you think is gonna win?

sti's and evo's are not great highway cars. if you want a great highway car thats awd look at an Audi S4, Nissan skyline GTR or a 3000gt VR4.

Why aren't the Evo's good for the highway?

Because AWD but even after tune and with exhaust system the car lose its power on the 4th and 5th gear i am talking about the factory twin turbo .
but if u change the turbo it will be another story
the evo = V8 Killer

Well, the G37 and the STI are around the same hp stock for stock of course the G is going to stay with the STI. The STI runs out of steam around 4000rpm because of a small turbo, so the top end for them aren't so great. In the Evo that's a different story it has a slightly smaller displacement than the STI by about .5 liters but has a bigger turbo to help it on the top end.

I had a 04 modded out stock turbo Evo 8 and it took out alot of cars from a 30mph roll. My last race was against a Gallardo on the beltway going over 100+mph and he did not pull an inch away from me on top end, and at that time my car dyno'd only around 376whp @24psi around 5500rpm. Though the reading was low that pull was done in 3rd at 5500rpm, the car pulls like a beast up top for a stock turbo. I can hit 120mph in 4th at extactly 7200rpm. So that's why I don't agree with the above statements.

Nobody twin turbos a 4 cyl. As far as I know, the Evo is a 4 banger.
