FORZA 2 Evo V.S. STi Battle!

Here we go again! A few members and I put together a simple class to bring the legendary battle between the STi and the EVO to the game consoles near you. Here are the rules of the class if you wish to participate.

These rules are to be followed strictly if you wish to participate - similar to Spec Mini Cooper S that we were all running a while back. If the rules say to do it, you must do it. If they don't mention something, it's because you can't do it to your car (for example, I will say little about engine upgrades because we do not allow them). Your car will end up being an A753 whether you go with the EVO or STi.

The cars:

Either the 2005 Subaru Impreza WRX Sti (it MUST be this model and year!)

Or the 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII GSR (it also must match this year and model perfectly - other EVOs will not be allowed!).

For the Subaru:

Brakes: Level 1 upgrade

Suspension: Level 1 upgrade

Interior: Level 3 upgrade (maximum level - with cage and all)

Tires: Must be race compound and must be Toyos! We all run the exact same tire.

Tires - Width: Level 1 upgrade. The STi is allowed a tire width upgrade to match the EVO. This was necessary to make the car competitive. The EVO cannot change the tire width!

Lancer Evolution:

Brakes: Level 1 upgrade

Suspension: Level 1 upgrade

Interior: Level 3 upgrade (maximum level here again)

Tires: Must be race compound and must be Toyos! We all run the exact same tire.

Tires - Width: STOCK (this was necessary to ensure that both cars have the same tires on them)

The EVO has a funny 5-speed transmission that might be misleading when you drive it. However, the car seems to be able to run almost identical times as the STi, so we are not allowing drivetrain upgrades right now.

I hope there is interest in this series. I have both cars built for testing purposes, but you can build your favorite one or both, it doesn't matter. If everyone shows up with the EVO, we might ask a few to build STis (and vice versa). Is anyone here interested at all? My gamertag on X-Box Live is the same as my screen name here. Maybe we can start tonight? If there are issues with one car being dominant, we can always tweek the modifications allowed. The upgrades are basic so that the cars are more or less the same - this makes the racing more competitive.

I might be in on this. I'm tryin to do the GT4 thing as well, and well, real life tends to get in the way of leisure time a lot.

I hear that. Hopefully we'll see you out there.

And to everyone else: maybe you could post your gamertag along with the car you intend to build so we have an idea what we might see at the track.

Gamertag is SR204G63

The fourth character is a zero, not the capital letter O.

I will try to build both cars. If I recall correctly, Forza let's you add and remove any and all upgrades to cars, so if you have a car that exceeds the requirements for this class, don't build another, just remove parts, (you don't have to sell them), and put em back on when the shenanigans are over.

That's right. You can add and subtract parts. Just makes sure you get the right cars!
