Well for sure a professionally driven Evo 8 would run a 13.1-13.3 depending on who tested it.

Actually a 13.1-13.6 depending on which magazine tested it. Sorry.

He just made this thread because he traded his Evo for a MPoS. This is not a Mazda forum buddy, i doubt many people will care that a Mazdaspeed 3 runs a 13.barely at the track. Good try.

and it true... the speed3 does still suck

I think only a few people have cracked 12s with a stock evo, not a very valid arguement

MalibuJack ran a 12.9 in his 03, several people did it in 05s, and a lot of people have done it in 06 IXs. It doesn't matter what magazines did, because they get 3 tries and take the average of those 3 runs, then post it in the magazine. On 05/06 Evos, that includes having to deal with the 5k limiter without any practice, which is why our 0-60 and 1/4-mile times are so underrated in most mags.

As for the MP3, look, you switched to a car that doesn't compare to the Evo, and now you're trying to justify that purchase, but that doesn't mean we care. Don't post this stuff in Evo general.
