I was sorta curious to see exactly how bad the Evo would get beat by those other cars in the 1/4 mile so I posted the corresponding times...
  1. Lamborghini Murciélago: 11.70@122.6mph
  2. Porsche Carrera GT: 11.1@133.4mph
  3. Ford GT: 11.2@131.2mph
  4. Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG: 11.81@120.91mph
  5. Ferrari F430: 11.71@120.12mph
  6. Ferrari 575 Maranello: 12.6@111mph
  7. Porsche 911 Carrera S: 12.3@117mph
  8. Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution RS: 13.17@104.7mph
  9. Lamborghini Gallardo: 13.4@107mph
  10. Chevrolet Corvette Z51: 12.7@112.3mph

Steiner, do you own an '05? I've grown to love Evos. I'm finally purchasing an SRT-4 soon and the next move up from there (whenever i can earn it) will be to the EVO if it's still in existance. Awesome car.

I don't think it's the Evo you have to worry about, I think you need to be worrying about Mitsubishi being around. :D

that's the worst quater mile time I have ever seen for a gallardo, should be over a second quicker. Certainly quicker than the 997 S.

Yeah my Evo is an '05 RS. I sold my '04 SRT-4 w/stage 2 so I could get it.

Car and Driver pulled 12.4 sec @ 118 mph on the Lamborghini Gallardo, so that 13.4 way off.

yeah, and I can't imagine the F430 beating the gallardo by 0.7 seconds in the 1/4 mile.

I can't imagine any 05 Evo RS owner running 0 to 60 in 4.3 seconds either, but with enough practice, and enough abuse, and a couple clutches and tranny replacements, you may be able to reach that time.
