With all this crap about it only having 180WHP I am wondering if anyone has any 0-60 and 1/4 times yet...

 

I second that!

 

That's 180AWHP from the Dynamic Dyno and 195AWHP Plus from a DynoJet. This is my predication on 93 oct. pump gas!

 

this probably wont help but road and track tested the evo
0-60 5.1 seconds
1/4 mile 13.8 seconds.

 

Yea, I think everyone is aware of those numbers (thanks though). I want some stats of owners..seeing how I have to wait at least a week or 2 for mine to come in

 

After I get mine this week and get it broken in, I will definitely do some g-tech testing. Not a perfect tool, but decent for baselining against mods, and also pretty good for developing launch technique;-)

When I took a test drive today I was pretty easy on it since the car only had 3 miles on the odo. It does have a nice feeling powerband although with a turbo engine its really hard to tell how its going to act until you get it under a full load condition.

My seat-of-the-pants guess is that a driver that knows how to launch and shift an AWD car may match the Road&Track number (5.1)for the EVO VIII.

Other than that I imagine the range will be more in the 5.2-5.4 second range stock. After g-teching a number of cars you start to get a feel for how quick vehicles are just by driving them. My best time to date is a 4.6 in a stage 3 WRX, the next a 4.8 for my Syclone, then in the 5.0-5.4 range for my tuned MCoupe and tuned S4's, and 5.6-5.9 for the E36 M3 and stock S4's and WRX. I can't wait to see where the stock EVO falls out!! Same G-tech btw! I usually don't g-tech until I have at least 2500-3000 miles on the engine.

 

Sweet..anxious to see the results..

 

In a couple of weeks, after break-in, I will go to Baytown and do a couple of 1/4 runs on test and tune night.
Anyone in the Houston area up for a meet?

 

My dealer told me they were doing 4.9 and 5.0 0-60s in the test car they got to drive. I don't know if they were g-teching or not... or if it was all just BS. Who knows. Well, if you wait a little bit the numbers will start popping up.

 

You'll have to let me know what night. I will surely be there. Of course I most likely will not have my Evo yet, but will still love to see yours in action.

 

Are you going to the Clash of the Titans at San Antonio Raceway (formerly called Rivercity Raceway) on the 29th of March?

You could run it at that event in the index True Street Class

 

Can you give me more info on it. I am picking up the Evo next week as it is still scheduled for the 20th. Then next Friday or the following week I am going to San Antonio to make a customer call and get in all my break-in miles. I could just consider going at the end of the week and doing a pass or 2.
How much does it cost. I won't pay more than $20 to race, since I am only going for a single decent run.

 

EVOS are NOT for a striaght line just my 2 cents

 

True..but still good info to have

 

With all of the pissing and moaning about WHP I think that a lot of people are interested as to what kind of real world acceleration figures an Evo can put down. I know for a fact that TearItUp is not all that interested in only going fast straight. He is doing this to let people know what kind of 1/4mi. times an Evo can get. I believe if he had his druthers the first time he truly tested his Evo it would be on an auto-x course.
