Stock EVO from MotorTrend June 2003
0-60 : 4.59
1/4 mile : 13.08@105.1
Braking 60-0 ft : 106
600-ft slalom, mph 71.4

I can understand different numbers coming in from different magazines, but come on.... this is the same magazine with numbers completely different. 0-60 is off by more than 1 second, 1/4 is off by more than 1 second and the mph differs by 11mph in the 1/4 Heck even the 600-ft slalom mph speed decreased by almost 3mph!!

Have a look below

 

$15,000 for that package! Wow, uhhh. 280whp? hmmmm. Nice looking package..

 

I'm still wondering how they got the 13 flat.

 

don't forget that wheater effects turbo cars more than any other cars out there. the condition of the test can make all differenece between a beast and a snail

 

Still 50whp 1.29 seconds in the 1/4 and 15 mph? I want that 50 whp. Oh and Godl Rims on a Red Car? I usually like most any combination, but this looks a little off to me.

 

i think an evo that runs 14s its all the drivers fault, or it can be the temps and sea level, ect.... Also it could be one of the bad evos. I read someone that some guy dynoed his evo and got 160WHP! I would cry if that happend to me and make the dealer give me a new one.

 

I think 15gs is alil to much, i would dump all that cash in my evo and see if i can get into the 10s or atleast low 11's.

 

Motor trend is so full of ****! I ran a 13.2 1/4 and I done 0-60 in 4.8 secs! What the hell is 5.4?

 

Its like every month when they test the same car they get different numbers. They should just stick to one driver

 

Maybe they should stop using vericom's in the hilly areas to run their 1/4 mile tests.

 

There is no way a stock EVO runs 105 - 106 mph stock. My roomate has had two EVO's since Feb when they came out. ( first one crapped out due to tranny problems) I've ran my 97-99 mph Benz against him & his car barely gets a car on me by the big end. I will pounce him outa the hole any day to boot! The street is different than the track & HKS wants sales to show that 15K is worth it. I have the same problem dropping 15k w/Renntech to mod my Benz.

 

pounce him outta the hole? We're talking about the Evo here, not the OZ.

 

Apparently, he can't launch his car properly, cuz not many RWD cars can beat AWD out the hole.

 

I agree that stock, the production ones WILL NOT trap 105mph. But although your car is obviously quick, you're outdriving your roomate if you can holeshot him. If you have street tires on that AMG, I'd put at least a car and a half on you from a complete stop. Experienced AWD drivers don't need VHT from the track to launch their cars with authority and duplicate 1.70 short times on the street.

 

15k!?!?!?!?!?.. i spent like 1200 bux and produced 293whp... many people here are hitting 12.80s with similar mods...for 15k you can come close to Al's car
