stock 0-60 of evo VII
I'm seeing some internal testing reports from mitsubishi that say the GSR has a 0-60 of 5.4 seconds. Is that at all accurate, because thats what subaru claims for the US wrx...

Re: stock 0-60 of evo VII
that is way too slow.... an s2000 can do that with no torque.

I think more importantly you don't know how they chose times. It could be a mean or average of several launches. Find more sources' times. If I remember correctly though the Evo 7 should be around or just under 5 seconds.
Also keep in mind that the GSR is the heaviest trim. I doubt that accounts for all that added time though.

First off, why are we looking at 0-60?? Its all about the 1/4 mile (a true test of a cars acceleration.)
When sport compact car mag tested their project WRX against a euro Evo VII the evo was close through 0-60 but had a faster 1/4 mile time and much,mcuh faster trap speed.
Besides its not a dragster its better suited to the hairpins and turns of a track.

I don't have any idea who is right or not, but that would be awesome if the EVO VIII is faster than the JDM Evo VII.
SCC got 13.4 for the ¼ even with a crappy clutch in the Evo VII.
I think the M3 does 0-60 in 4.8 so the EVO surely will outsprint a pig like the M3 off the line (not a 1 mile race though)
I hope this is all true!!!!

Those numbers are direct from Mits... and I bet my sources are better than yours. The 8 is far lighter and almost as much HP (and possibly more torque) than a JDM RS-II.

Not sure on this but, I believe an Evo VII RS does 0-60 in 4.4 sec. where as an Evo VII GSR does it in around 5.0 sec. The factors for the difference being weight and gearing.

Well, I WILL say that 
has said themselves...at several different times that the US Evo would do 0-60 in under 5.0 sec.
RedEvo6, Why don't you think the US Evo will be as quick? Please explain your reasoning. Last time I checked lighter weight (including rotational..with the lighter Enkeis), better clutch, better aerodynamics, and about the same (although a tad less) hp all point to a quicker car..correct? We'll just have to wait and see.
