OK so a stock Evo is substantially slower than a stock Ferrari 360, done.

Don't hate the playa hate the game... A true performance enthusiast will always respect and or appreciate a well thought out balanced performance machine, regardless if it was bought off the showroom floor, or if it was made in someone's backyard. So I say do it up with the FP red and look for bigger numbers like 450 + whp on pump and you can admire more exotic cars in your rear view mirror.

Take it to the track and see which car performs better.

we are debating fairly... how does it look if I have an 08 GSR and you try to compare that to some old civic? Let's make everything equal... I did it with the Ferrari too. You can get older Evo's cheaper now as well and already modded out the a@@ so that argument doesn't hold much water either does it? You lose on every possible argument here, you should quietly go away.

.5-1 second on the 1/4 is considered substantially slower now? Hmmm, it didn't appear so in the turns though did it? lol

Because no matter how much faster you make your car, the ferrari is a ferrari. and your car will always be a mitsubishi.
Things to consider, there is more to performance than just straight line speed. Sure you may be able to beat him at the 1/4 mile, and probably rather easily given that you have the advantage of AWD, but from a roll, he'll still kill you. At a high rate of speed, he'll still kill you. If he can drive worth a damn (and is willing to push the car), he'll kill you at a track.
You all are leaving out the fact that the evo is kinda Mitsu's top-of-the line car while the F360 is Ferrari's bottom of the line, entry-level car; a Chevette so to speak.

A Ferrari isn't just a Ferrari because of the little horse on the front.
There's a horse on the front? The bastards!

Hoof marks are really hard on aluminum body panels.

OK, how much would a base, 1992 Civic cost, new?
Regardless, a stock 360 still beats a stock Evo.

And some people in Civics claim to have destroyed a stock Evo so that makes it true right?

So then we buy an F430? Or are we talking an older model Evo? And we can't buy used either I assume, right?

Stock for stock an Evo won't keep up with an F360, I don't care what data you have from what magazine.

I've been on track with plenty of exotic type cars over the years and even had a chance to drive a few. Stock for stock the Evo will not keep up with anything considered exotic.

Hey man, you forgot it has to be stock. No stock Civic (in running order) has destroyed a stock Evo (in running order). And if you know of one that has I'd like to meet the drivers of both cars

Yep, owned by the fanboyism of Evom, it always beats logic and facts.
