I remember saying I like the EVO but I would never buy one a few months back because of all the problems we had with a 2000 Mits Galant V6. My feelings were confirmed at the Speedventures event this past Fri when a new EVO sheered off a suspension bolt. It was a pretty big failure and the guy was real lucky. EVO 8, no thanks.

Nice time for a car that looks like an econobox, but slap some sticky tires on the back of the Z06 and you're back in front.

I would take an STI over an evo any day. The STI is an amazing car, I didnt get my Z yet but sometimes i wonder if i shouldnt have gone for the STI O well no regrets now...the Z is still sexier

For being a "Z06 killer" the Z06 sure dusted the EVO badly in MTs figure 8......would have been VERY bad on a road course.

In straight line from a stop the EVO can do ok because of AWD but once rolling the Z06 is going to make it look silly.

Z06= MUCH better car.

I agree completely. Didn't the EVO cut a 1.67 60' with that 12 second pass? Not to mention that was on a mixture of pump/race gas and 22psi. Still pretty respectable for the value though if you're into 4-bangers.

That is a pretty stupid statement...That thing traped 113 modded...A STOCK Z06 traps oround 116-119....The fastest a stock one has gone with tires as the only mod is 11.2 at 119...(tires are fair b/c the EVO has AWD) So not quite a stock Z06 killer, and not ever gonna be a modded Z06 killer....So please quit getting so excited..

YAAAAAYYY time for some mag racing!

Z06 lap time: 24.8sec
evo lap time: 24.9sec<-----wow!! a real dusting!

600ft slalom
EVO: 71.4mph<--- now thats a dusting!
Z06: 70.4mph

other stats, for mag racing sake:

BREAKING:

60-0

EVO: 106ft
Z06: 105ft

100-0

EVO: 292ft
Z06: 292ft

hmm..... so it looks like the lancer matches the performance for 20k less, and will rape the z06, with the afformentioned 1,700bucks in mods. who knew?
Look at your lap times smart guy......24 seconds isn't a lap.....that was a figure eight handling maneuver.....like I said....put them on a road course and the EVO will get dusted.

Its a cool little family sedan but it is NOT a Z06 killer.
As mentioned before the 116+mph trap of a Z06 will make even that modded EVO look silly.

exactally,
the Z06 will win over the 911 TT in every performance catagory for $65.000 less. 52k for the z06 and $115.000 for a 2002 911 TT



not a bad run for that Evo8 though!!

Are you ok man?

Lets see what happens when an Evo and a Z06 go at it form a roll, any roll. You think the Evo will win then?

If an Evo and a Z06 were to be lined up, and they both get the same 60' time, you think the Evo would win? Go home bro.

He gets his jollies by mag racing and bashing V8 American cars for some reason. Yes, the EVO is fast...and that particular one (on a pump/race gas mix mind you) could beat up on your average z06 in the 1/4...but there is no way in hell it would touch a z06 on a road course.
