Beat out by the BWM 335i and the Charger SRT8. Not bad!

C/D TEST RESULTS:
Zero to 60 mph: 5.0 sec
Zero to 100 mph: 13.4 sec
Street start, 5–60 mph: 6.6 sec
Standing ¼-mile: 13.8 sec @ 102 mph
Top speed (governor limited): 155 mph
Braking, 70–0 mph: 159 ft
Roadholding, 220-ft-dia skidpad: 0.97 g

And just for comparision, Car and Driver ran the new STI and got 0.93 g on the skidpad, 5.1 seconds through the 60-mph trap, and 13.6 seconds at the quarter-mile.

very nice, cant wait to see the X in the hands of some proper drivers.

 

[_Chris_]

Awesome. I wonder how the MR would fair.

 

[P7X]

^^^wondering as well, from what I hear/seen the MR doesn't launch as well as the GSR but makes up for it down the strip.

 

[silvreclipse]

^^^well its said that it will have a launch control that will make it launch hard off the line.

 

[Xii]

I am curious as to how that will work then? A "neutral gear" of sorts to allow reving before dropping it into 1st w/ the paddle shifters?

^^ Yes. The rumored 'secret launch control' mode.

what a shame for the Charger srt8, yeah for a 400hp plus those number should be a lambo beater. a 400plus evo will be in a 3sec plus 0 to 60 time.

 

[DSMissed]

Yeah but the Charger is a luxurious boat in the car world. In other words, its a fatty.

 

[P7X]

^^^^ the SRT8 weighs 4200 lbs!!!! and I thought the evo was a pig lol.

i have a charger 5.7 r/t an it does well for a big car it handles better when what i expected when i bought it.

it might like be the launch control of gtr.

actually your right. i rented one and im suprise.... cause it's heavy but it does not feel.....like.

 

[DaemonSadi]

Mwahahaha, and it's 7-9k cheaper then the two cars that beat it. With that much money you could make it quicker then either one of those!

 

[DSMissed]

Plus the BMW is a RWD coupe...2 things I wouldn't want anyways...

Cool! Although This must mean that the Sti picks up quite a bit at the top end.. seeing as it has a slower 0-100 but a better 1/4 mile time.

^Thats what I'm thinking. I also read that the STi is boosting 14.7, which sounds like a few pounds less than what the X is running, which isn't good news for the X.

It really depends how much boost the boxer engine can take. Time will tell, in the meanwhile Evo X is getting pretty nice gain from simple bolt-ons! :godance: (Kansai HKS evo x)

 

[DSMissed]

Yeah, we aren't really gonna know how they compare til they are both on the streets.
