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

Here are its numbers:
0-30 mph: 1.7 seconds
0-45 mph: 3.1 seconds

Jackygor 01-09-2008, 06:01 AM 1/4 in 13.6 seconds is pretty fast to me!

I was expecting it to lose from 0-60, but it seems to keep up with the 9 really well until 75 mph...
Spiritech 01-09-2008, 07:05 AM Nice! Now the wait just became that more difficult.
cksdayoff 01-09-2008, 10:13 AM Fck the haters.
Evo X :shades:
can't wait to read this review.
boy36 01-09-2008, 10:42 AM It Isn't the Fastest Evo Ever, but It Is the Best
:props:
_Chris_ 01-09-2008, 10:42 AM Nice. Need more reviews on the MR.
What Works:
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.
EzeE1o 01-09-2008, 03:30 PM good article...i bet there will still be haters and complainers even tho the acceleration times are quite similar
EVOXGSR 01-09-2008, 03:59 PM 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.
toosteeley 01-09-2008, 04:10 PM Love it in blue!
Nice numbers, decent review and hopefully the MR can shave a few more tenths of a second off the 1/4 mile.
Tvall13 01-09-2008, 10:20 PM 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
UnctrldRage 01-09-2008, 10:48 PM 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.
Love the review and pics
man still no price on the EVO
what is going on?
DSMissed 01-10-2008, 12:10 AM 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...
Meero 01-10-2008, 04:04 AM Woohoo!! Love that 0-60 mph time!! Makes me so excited.......i just made a mess in my pants:godance:
