It is a stupid question.

So what does everybody consider "better?"

Faster? More feel? Easier to drive fast? Quicker exit speeds?

I'm going to guess no-one knows.

I think its a subject matter, but i have heard great things about the steering feel of evos because it can make you feel like you are driving a rally car

I would think that in "real world" driving, the EVO would be a bit friendlier to drive. A stock Evo with good rubber is going to rarely lose traction even driven agressively. And hit a patch of gravel...I'll take the Evo every time.

Also, I think a little understeer is OK on a street car. Just because a car understeers does not mean it is not going around a corner fast.

I never said that the evo wasn't a responsive car. It is very responsive. But The RX8 suited my style of driving at an auto x even than the evo. The Evo had a tendency to under steer when coming into a turn hot. Where as the RX8 had more adhesion at its limit and less under steer. Both are amazing cars to drive, and i'd rather have the EVO on a daily basis. Hell one of the guys at that same even that drove all the cars there, said that the mustang shelby GT was his favorite, and sure enough, he posted his best lap time with the Stang. I say different track, different day, and the car preferences will probably change. But for the time i spent with the cars, i felt more in control of the rx8 at speeds.
