How is 13.8 (Evo X) compared to 13.0 (Camaro SS) a driver's race?? Thats almost a full second, and an exact 12MPH difference.

If thats a driver's race, then I suppose you think a Civic Si and a Corvette ZR1 is a driver's race as well

Oh btw... The Evo's, like most non-American Cars, don't live or die with the 1/4 mile. They are AMAZING track and daily driving cars... I really cant imagine some Engineer in Japan talking about how the 13.8 1/4 mile time is going to bite into their 'budwiser' demographic.
Kid?? Thats where you're wrong. My posts are all based on personal experience and facts.

Your posts are nothing more than you claiming I'm wrong and you're right, usually with spelling and grammer errrors. How ironic that you should call me "kid".

When you actually have some facts and a half decent arguement to prove my post wrong, try again. Until then don't bother replying, because all you can make are exaggerated claims of cars performance based on nothing more than your own ignorant opinion.

Let me guess... your one of those people who really believes the CTS-V is better than the BMW M5?

Never make spelling errors when you are making fun of another post because it contains spelling errors.

i agree! haha anything can be a drivers race.
i once saw a honda civic beat a zr1 by 15 seconds!
the three year old was not match for the stig!

and, i really wanna take a evo X out for a drive. they look SOOO fun to drive
i considered one, but went with the camaro for price difference from an 2LT
but they look sweet and handle good from everything i have heard.

i am part of that group.
i prefer the CTSV over the m5 for a number of reasons.
styling is a large reason.
GM bias may have a thing or two to do with it.

Though styling is generally subjective... I'd safely say (though im sure if you took a poll on this site you'd encounter conflicting results) most people dont like the styling of the Caddy.

yeah, styling is all personal choice.
but the CTS name is beginning to pick up ALOT of prestige.
3.9 0-60 tends to do that.
fastest production v8 sedan in the worldd

I do, because I think it is. The M5 is an excellent car to be sure. Thing is, people need to quit worshipping anything BMW puts out as the be all and end all of the automotive experience. There are better cars, and half of that sticker price is for the name only.

13.0@111 ....



Ive seen 3 vids of mid 13's SS's on a real track with normal drivers .
Thats what the Evo X's runs mids 13's , so yeah its a driver race from what we have seen so far ...... Iam SURE some one will get the SS in the 12's but not every owner will/can .

Trap speed , 99-102mph for the Evo's vs 107-111mph for the SS's , the Evo will get K I L L E D on the highway/high speed runs .

I'd venture to say you've never spent much time in an M5

evo= horrible gas mileage, will gives u headaches cuz of lawnmower buzz, sedan, AWD. AWD is also biased towards front wheels. Save some money, buy a civic an put a spoiler on it.
