Who saw the Motortrend speed test on Speedvision today- Wow!
Ten car shootout, here's the line up:
Chevrolet Corvette Z06
Dodge Viper SRT-10
Ferrari 575M Maranello
Ford Mustang SVT Cobra
Jaguar XKR
Lamborghini Murcielago
Mercedes-Benz CL55 AMG
Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution
Mosler MT900 Photon
Ford F-150 SVT Lightning
First test was a five mile oval for top speed- Lamborghini- over 200mph, EVO came in second to last @ 156
Here's where it gets good:
Slalom- EVO second!!!! 71.4 mph
0-60- EVO 4.59 (eighth)
1/4 mile- EVO 13.08 (eighth)
60-0- EVO 106' (fourth), Viper sets new record
100-0 EVO 292 (tied w/ for third w/ the Z06!)
The best test IMO was a new test- a large figure eight, that ultimates tests cornering/acceleration and braking- EVO fifth, just a tenth behind the Z0-6.
Overall the EVO did exceptional well, two of the cars were just under $300,000! The EVO under $30,000!
Hope this isn't old news, I just saw it today on the tube.
Edited w/ correct #'s/finishes
