Possibly driver error, tires, and weather. But the difference was only 0.2 seconds...thats not bad for the evo to catch up

If you watch the Evo closely you can see that he totally bogged

Must be the guy driving the Evo doesn't know how to drive his Evo yet. After I finished breaking in my Evo, I personally did my 0-60 in 4.5 seconds with my 2 brothers riding with me and they were impressed on how my Evo drive that fast. I guess its just depends on how the driver drive their car. I can't believe that Evo got beaten by an MX-6 What a shame

That is a danm shame. I bet it was the clutch. Come on fellas the clutch should be one of the 1st mods that you do if you are going to play. Trust me launching at 8000 rpms with zero slip is something else! You might want a twin plate, exhaust, boost controller, headgasket, cams, more fuel, a tuned ecu and 1.5bar of boost will do nicely.

man the driver must be on crack... but still. i noticed how they emphasized that the MX6 beat the crap out of the EVO. i find that hilarious
NOTE => he beat the GUY driving the EVO. NOT the EVO itself....

just me .02

hah! "Eh Vo"...

Actually most of the people in japan say eh vo. If you think about it, the whole word is pronounced eh volution. I still say ee vo though, dunno. But anyway, everyone I talk to in japan say eh vo. and yes, i do live in japan and I drive an evo III
