With my Z06 I can do the 1/4 ok, but when it comes to cornering..... well thats another story... hahaha But yes the Evo is by far the fastest car I have so far.
I think one of the only domestic cars that can give the EVO a run for its money (w/o many mods to either) in the handling department would be the Z06.

My previous car was a 91 GSX (11.1@131), so my EVO is not the fastest.

My 1992 Honda Civic CX 4 speed 1.5 SOHC with I/H/E was the fastest car I have ever owned. The handling was even better with stock wheels minus the hubcaps and lowered via cut coils. Boy I miss that car, much better than the evo!

Very tough call here. After all the mods, I think I'd have to say yes for 0-100 or so and the road course, but at 100+ I'm inclined to say no.

However my next project will be a Radical or something very similiar for track use - that should make the Evo feel slow, at least in the corners.

Definitely the fastest and best handling car I've ever owned.


My first car was a 1995 3000 GT (base) and i totally loved that car, in fact I traded it in on the EVO MR. Then I had a 2003 350Z Track Model, and now i'm the proud owner of a 2005 EVO MR. It has definitely set a standard that no car in it's price range can touch.

my other car is a civic, and will probably be the fastest car i'll ever own. i ran 11.74 on my low boost setting of 1 bar, and it is built to push over 30+ psi. just have to find time to tune the high boost map. my guess is that it will do low ten's - high 9's or blow up trying.

Not yet the fastest, but one of these days!

Previous Cars: '95 Eagle Talon (2.3 Stroker, 60-1, and 75 shot), 3 other Talons, '01 Z28, '03 WRX, '01 Turbo Bug (Wife), '01 S4, '03 Tahoe (Wife), '93 RX-7

I'm starting with looks on the EVO and then it's time to get stupid!
