Evo 0-60 and 1/4 mile questions

The J-spec Evo has 276hp and does 0-60 in approx 4.7 seconds and the 1/4 mile somewhere in the 13's (anyone know exactly?).

If we get the car with lets say 250hp...what do you think the 0-60 and 1/4 mile will be then?? I am thinking 0-60 in 5.x, and 1/4 mile somewhere in the low 14's but that is about as fast as the WRX...wtf:confused:!?

P.S. I have seen 0-60 and 1/4 mile times on a lot of cars from all different magazines. Motor Trend always seems to have the best drivers because they always squeeze the lowest times out of the cars tested.

i could be wrong but i remember reading somewhere that the evo did 11's in the 1/4. ghost what you know about it

The EVO can't do 11's off the stock equipment it runs on. Mistu tests its EVO's on high octane race fuel, and release its figures after the tests.

You'd do 11's with some after part mod's. the 0-60 figure is more like 5.x not 4.x, and the 1/4 mile is approximately 13.7.

EVO VI TME: 0-100km/h in AUS is 5.47 if i remember correctly. Thats still quite fast.

Subaru's times are so fabricated, This is the WRX we are talking about, the WRX is even slower, its 0-60 is 6.x, and its 1/4 mile is 14.x

hope this clears some confusion up

I got the WRX figures from this site, it is an excellent site that has times for most cars: http://www.car-stats.com/

As far as this goes.....I've heard the jspec runs 0-60 4.7 12.xx 1/4 miles......and for the love of god dont listen to motor trend .....they are so freaking biased and crazy....on more than one occasion have i seen them give slanted times (for better or worse) to certain companys.....

These are exactly as read in Sport Compact Car :

Evo VI:
0-30: 1.7 sec
0-60: 4.8
30-50: 1.8
50-70: 2.6
1/4 mile: 12.9@106mph

Evo VII:
0-30: 1.7 sec
0-60: 5.1
30-50: 2.2
50-70: 3.0
1/4 mile: 13.6@100mph

This is from Nov. 2001 issue SCC for JDM evos

need more info?

Read it a little better though and it says the VII was tested in less than ideal conditions...I'm thinking it was raining or something...I'll dig it up and see. They did say they would be pretty close (VI and VII) if tested at same time. Also, I think the #'s you posted from SCC for the VII would be similar #'s the U.S. spec VII would post.

I thought we posted the 0-60 and 1/4 mile times.
0-60 in 4.3 and the Quarter in the 11's or 12's. I know it's lower than the 4.7.
Anyways, just can't wait till it gets here.

Your right about the conditions...The EvoII is MUCH closer to the six. I Read it again. Search Kazaa for Top Gear and watch the Evo review by Tiff Nedell. Good Stuff. pretty darn good driver too

Are you all stupid? the magazines are rigged. They fabricate the speeds.

The EVO VI's 0-60 is around 5.5.. not, 4.3 lol jesus, ask the OWNERS of the cars, not some shitty magazine.

1/4 Mile for the Evo VI is in the low 13's, approx 13.5/6 maybe 13 on a good day.

the evo 7 maybe be a bit faster, so they say.

I'm an owner. And I do believe you can dip below 5 on a stock only if:
a) its cool and/or at night; (temperature makes a huge huge difference as I find out-especially on a high-strung turbo)
b) you have shitloads of money to do a 8000RPM standing start and burn your clutch (easily destroyed within 10,000KMs)
c) able to withstand the gigantic g-force of the standing start and still manage to keep your hands on the steering wheel straight and your pedal to the metal without lift-off;
d) you remembered to switch on the intercooler spray.

you know i live about 200 miles away from where sport compact car tested this thing. just some info about the test and the area, the elevation was over a mile above sea level. and we all know that can make your times as much as a second or more higher than they really are. another thing the air was around 90 degrees or so. and the track they tested it on was filled with small hills and some rocks. they never clean the shit off the track, even though they are suposed to be required to do it. so you gotta shave some time off of that figure. by the way i don't remember if the mag said this but it was tested in august i think near denver colorado. that should say something.

I have heard steady 4.5 sec on the 0-60 for the Jspec EVO VII. In fact the only other reliable timing I have heard on the stock car is on the Warrender site where the test done yielded a 4.7sec 0-60. They also have a modded one that does it in 4sec as well.
Now the US spec EVO might do a 5.5sec is my guess based on the detuning. The US suby does 5.7sec 0-60 Consistently on several tests R&T, SCC etc.

magazine times are totally rigged. when you read it look for the base price then look for 'price as tested'.

sport compact tested the 98 supra back in the day, they said it was stock times but the tested price was like 7gs higher than the base.

they toy around with the engines before they test.

Stock doesn't mean "base model" :rolleyes: Stock means no mods.
The magazines don't tinker with the mechanics of the car no matter what you think. They will at the most mess with things like tire pressures. It is VERY common to run better times than what the magazines run.

The magazines do not tinker with the cars to get them to run better. Why would they care? The manufactures sure as hell do though. If a manufacture is selling a performance car then they typically provide the magazines with what is know in the industry as a 'ringer'. Basically, the motor has been given some special attention such as blue printing, some times a bit higher compression. I have read that Chevy has a test driver who can shift their manual transmission C5's quite well without using the clutch. Not great for life of the tranny but great for recording a 1/4 mile time. The motorcycle mag industry is well known for getting ringers during its 600 sport bike shoot outs. Hell, anyone remember when the 95 ZX6R recorded a 10.89 in the 1/4 mile stock! Put a little effort into 5 or 6 magazine test cars and watch it pay off in sales!

The VII has a smaller turbo than the VI.

The EVO VII is heavier, has a smaller turbo and has larger/heavier wheels.

the reason motor trend always has the fastest times is because their test track is slightly downhill...

Really? Where did you hear that from?

motor trend said that they are going to bring the lancer over with the only modifications being the bumper and intercooler package so we will not lose hardly anything and it should be here around the fourth quarter. and it will be the evo VII. how thrilling!!

the evo 6 makinen edition is the only stock evo to hit 12's. its like a 12.9 or 12.8, the evo 7 is a low 13 second car, but that is the JDM/EDM version. we already know the USDM verson well be getting wont have the active differentials, what else will it lose? most likely a little power as well, the front mount intercooler is not gonna pass US crash testing. my guess is itll be a high 13 second car, just faster than the wrx (which have been known, on rare occasions, to hit 13's stock). but then what will mitsubishi do when subaru releases the real deal WRX STi here? THAT is the car the evo is supposed to compete with, NOT the base wrx. my guess is they wont do anything, and rely on marketing and image to sell their cars, just like they have with every other car recently.

and then i realized this topic is like 2 months old :rolleyes:

Stock wrx running 13's ? Yeah sure. Over here in Australia, the older shape wrx was good for low to mid 14's. they have the same power as the new one and are around 300 lbs lighter.The new shape wrx is lucky to get a mid 14. The new STI has just been released over here and is good for a high 13. To get the best times from an Evo, you need to drop the clutch at around 6000rpm and hang on. As far as WRXs go, we have had them in Aust. since 1994 and we see them everywhere and there has been alot of development done on them. In fact we have the quickest one on the planet. 10.01 @ 140 odd mph. We also have a few 10 sec Lancer evo 2s street cars, quickest being 10.2@143mph

car and driver lists the new body 227hp wrx at a 14.1 1/4 mile. thats a magazine driver, who isnt used to the car, on an un-broken in car. with a good driver, good enough track conditions, and a broken in car, do u seriously think they cant gain .2 seconds on a couple lucky runs? no wait, u actually think they would be lucky to get mid 14s...
