I think my drag project car has a better 0-60 and 1/4 though than the RS.
I like to think my RS is the best all around comprimise, I love it.

It is not the fastest, my '99 C5 with bolt-ons was faster + handled as well...
But it will be... Oh, yes it will be.
Too bad the baby seat did not fit in the hatch area. Yes, I tried that and the wife laid down the law.

No. My 1986 Grand National was much faster in a straight line. I have had many "fast" cars but the Evo has proved to be the MOST fun straight from the factory.
I hope to say "yes" very soon.

this evo definately handles better and has better braking and seating position but my stock 2001 camaro ss sixspeed was a good deal faster than this car... my EVO is stock. I got owned by a f150 lightning on the freeway yesterday, my SS would have destroyed that pickup....
maybe with mods this will change... but that SS would pull like a raped ape on the top end...

My modded 2003 SRT-4 was about the same speed but a lot harder to drive fast, The EVO is a much easier commute vehicle and still fun when I go canyon crawling.
