yes it is "BEST ONE"

 

Weather its a some girl or some guy, experienced race car driver or novice driver, like Stevo said, its hard to guarantee the time and win.
Also, she has probably drove a VI a billion times and has not driven a IX as much, because of it being so new. If I went around a track in two comparable cars, one I've driven a billion time and one I've driven a couple times, I know the one I've driven a lot would win.

Carlos, when she drove both cars, the VI only beat the IX by .25 seconds, not by a second.
That only shows that lap times could change very easily and that the IX could win very easily.

Tests like lateral G's, slalom and proper accelation tests, would probably show that the IX is superior (but maybe not).

 

Guys, keep in mind that running on a track is very different than driving on the street. I saw the clip, too. It was fun to watch.

 

Errr..."some girl" looked like she could outdrive most everyone here, myself included. She cut textbook lines and her car-control was very impressive.

Objective testing does nothing to describe how the car really behaves in a real world situation. Cars need to be driven to establish a preference (ie. superiority). Magazine racing is just silly.

 

Read my second post, I know she can drive, I know shes a experienced driver, and that shes a girl. I've always known this.


You are completly right, magazine test do NOT show how a car behaves in a real situation.
But if you are trying to figure out if one car is better then another (handles better & faster), you do handleing test (skidpad & slalom) and accelation test. Or you do a test with a couple of racecar drivers driving each car for many laps and record their best laps and compare.

Magazine racing is silly, but I never said anything bout any magazine. Also, magazine people didn't invent handling test or accelation test, car designers and engineers did.

you're a few months late with the reply man

 

Then show her the respect she deserves. Calling her "some girl" is nothing less than rude.

You're contradicting yourself with almost every other sentence. Have fun comparing cars on paper.

 

Ok, mister joined last week. Your right, based on one experianced driver driving a car shes drives a lot and one car she barly driven proves that the VI is a lot faster the a IX. I mean it won by sooo much, a whole 1/4 of a sec.

Your the one that brough up magazines, not me. You keep saying that Im comparing cars on paper, but I go out everday and drive my cars (& others) in real life situtaions. While your working, Im driving. While your on the interent, trying to talk ****, Im driving.

Get off that fact that I called her "some girl", you acting like its your ****ing mother.

 

You guys are both being tools. Quit hijacking this thread. You guys are just arguing to argue. I'm sure if this wasn't on the net, you guys would agree on a lot more things than you would think.

ANYWAYS, the IX is a heavier car than the VI by a few hundred pounds. That's why it got edged out. The IXs motor is more evolved and superior to the VI but not enough overcome that weight difference. The VI is more purpose built, while the IX is aimed to satisfy more markets.

I think each stripped down and built up the IX would win. This stock for stock. Plus the TME VI is more "tuned" than a standard VI and would probably hold pretty well against later iterations of a "standard" (not TME) Evo.

 

When you finish trying to put words in my mouth, there's a logic class that needs your attention.

At the risk of pointing to the obvious, magazine racing is a figurative term that points to relatively meaningless objective (ie. test) data being used as the deciding factor. Ironically, you've illustrated that, yourself:

"But if you are trying to figure out if one car is better then another (handles better & faster), you do handleing test (skidpad & slalom) and accelation test."

You're driving an Evo VI? I think it's safe to say that you're not, which only goes to support what's already been said.

She's one hell of a driver who deserves respect. At least you can rest safely knowing that your attitude toward women can only be improved.

 

The VI is almost 300 pounds lighter and a smaller car

Has a curb weight of 2998 and 1/4 mile, sec@mph ² 13.0@106.9

EVO IX is 3285 lbs
