You're correct. He just got the name wrong.

SVTdriver said:Ok I thought the renesis was a completely new engine not a 13b. At least I thought that is what I had read. I don't keep up on rotary motors so as far as I know it might still be the same motor from WWII.

The little turbo fours seem to come and go every few years. The old Eclipse/talon's ran a similar setup to the "new Lancer EVO". New package with four doors, basically the same drivetrain. Ok, the Evo experts probably know all of the little differences, but they seem to be very similar drivetrain wise. If trends follow what they have in the past, these cars will be available on a back lot, fly by night used car dealership within three to five years for next to nothing. If I were interesting in modding one of those cars, I would wait a year or two and pick one up used. JMHO

But I want more!
I've narrowed the choice down to the WRX STi and the new stang. I don't really plan on taking the new car to the track--I just want a beast of a daily driver.
The main pros I see for the STi are: all-wheel drive, spectacular handling. The cons are: turbo lag (barely there, but...) and the rice look. (the megaspoiler has grown on me a little, but I'm still not sure--and I hate the look without a spoiler and don't like the stock sedan spoiler)
The pros for the mustang: low end torque. better mod potential while maintaining good daily driveability, and I LOVE THE NEW STYLE!!
The cons (help me out here): handling--specifically, in the twisties and in the rain/snow.
Any thoughts? Do you think the 05's will handle any better than the previous years?
