The driver is making a big difference. Would like to know whom drove the other cars. Would be nice to have the same driver

i'm sure there's a couple seconds variation of course, but still.. ~1:30 is fairly quick on that course

I find it pretty hard to believe a M5, GTI and V6 Mustang beat an Evo X..

Really? An M5 has 500 HP, a V6 Mustang has over 300 HP and the GTI is clearly a freak.

I think this probst clearly got the most out of every car he drove. His name is up there like 7 times. Had he driven some of the cars that you think should of been ahead of others like the x mr, I think the list should be different.

Seems like having him drive is worth ~5-6% in terms of time.

Still, a Mustang V6 beat a Porsche 911? Holy hell...

Locally, the Subaru and Toyota/Scion dealers are letting me down because neither has received their allotment yet. I really want to drive a BRZ/FR-S, but am almost scared it would make me consider jumping ship. Hopefully the back seat is way too small, because that will hold off the temptation.

Drive one? Pffftttt. Magazine racing is where it's at.

I don't see why everyone is so surprised the EVO x got beat by some many cars, the X is pig heavy and underpowered in comparison to those cars listed. Christ even a v6 mustang puts more down than a X . The x weighs 200 pounds more than mustang and makes a fuzz less power.

I'm finding this extremely hard to swallow.

The numbers just don't compute. I really think this is mostly driver mod than anything.


Acceleration in mph: 0-60 6.3; 0-70 8.2; 0-80 10.4; 0-90 13.2; 0-100 16.4; 0-110 21.2; 0-120 26.6; 0-130 37.0. The quarter mile was 14.9 @ 95 mph. Top speed: (drag limited) 139 mph.

The BRZ recently beat the Miata in a comparison test.

who would pick the miata with the brand new brz/frs out? you can still tell by how they write that it's one of the top driving cars
