That's odd.
Motor Trend tested the new "271HP" Evolution at 4.59 &
13.08 @ 105.1mph. That's blazing fast folks! Tested in Arizona at Ford's proving grounds. (I.E. not a cold climate)
The specs for the "300HP" STi were a slightly less impressive 4.87 & 13.23 @ 104.6 mph
Me thinks the old boys at Mitsubishi underated the Evo big time!!! Go Mitsu power...
On the handling front the Evo KILLS the Subie!!! The Evo posted an insane 71.4 mph in the slalom. Yes well over 70mph!!! Better than near any exotic tested!!! (basically it takes a race built car to beat it - I.E. not a street car!)
For reference the new SRT-10 Viper and Z06 posted 70.4mph in the slalom.
Can it stop? How about a mind boggling 106ft from 60 to 0. 1 of only 5 cars that has ever pulled under 300ft from 100 to 0 (294')
The Evo is definitely the real deal.
Now only if the didn't put that ugly front fascia on it. (You think they would have learned something from Subbie's mistake making the WRX look like major ass!) Bring back the old body style!!!
