If you're disappointed in those numbers, consider yourself hard to please. Either that or you're an Evo IX owner.

I was expecting it to lose from 0-60, but it seems to keep up with the 9 really well until 75 mph...

More fun than the Playboy Mansion

:godance:

hmmm... i'm still on the fence with this car. i like it, then i don't, then i do again. it isn't fast enough, then it is. if i had a price it'd make this decision a lot easier to make.

AWESOME! My faith in the car is rejuvenated. I was still gonna buy one, but 13.6 quarter-mile? Nice. I think that the engineers at mitsu have sorted things out with these "engine control gremlins," and that the car is finally showing what it can really do.

Nice numbers, decent review and hopefully the MR can shave a few more tenths of a second off the 1/4 mile.

Hey 4.9 and 13.6 is sure fast enough for me. I just don't know why the number keep changing so drastically. It's makin me crazy

Tests are all run under different conditions drag racing times are more suseptible to Outside conditions....Because its a straight line the outside conditions are the only real affecting factor (Such as Temperature, Humidity and Track Surface temp) While the factors affecting a circuit or road track test are negligable because the car is doing more work as well as the driver.

Lots slower they say. Sorry, but .3 seconds is not that bad to me. Easily made up for. I can't wait to see the numbers on the MR. And that blue is so amazing...
