Evo MR spanks a lot of cars in a road race
I got this off of the S2000 boards...
Road Atlanta (2.54 miles) Lap Times

1:38.80 – Porsche Carrera GT
1:42.92 – Mitsubishi Evo MR
1:44.28 – Lotus Elise
1:44.96 – Chevy Corvette C6
1:45.10 – Acura NSX
1:50.29 – VW R32

These cars were driven by a professional racecar driver – Gunnar Jeannette.

wow... the Elise is a lil' suprising.... thought it would've been a bit closer than that to the Evo... guess it really really needs a power boost... but, doesn't suprise me one bit that the Evo beat out what it did....
