An Evo will walk a newer GT from a roll and a dig. I've been in my buddies Evo countless number of times racing newer GT's. Same result everytime. Evo walks away slowly and keeps walking. From a roll that is. From a dig it's not even a close race. Just for the record........A well driven Evo will break high 12's all day long in the 1/4.

no problem, ill do a full exhaust, put some gears in the rear, suspension mods, and a few other bolt on stuff. im not looking to beat him, or anyone really. im looking for a nice looking DD thats fairly quick, decent handling, and fairly comfortable. if i can beat some quick cars, all the better. but if i ever beat that Evo, i think that'll be quick enough for me.

Uhmmm, I don't think anyone ever brough up a 350Z? We where talking about a WRX vs a GT and then how an EVO would kill a GT, except I noted that the stock EVO's have a kinda bad top end. If want to know what a great top end is, ride a M3 or Viper, these car pull hard at 150MPH. Yeah I know an EVO cost and 1/3 of these cars, and that you really can not get more bang for you buck than an EVO gives you, but it is still a 30K car, it will have it's limiations, it's just that you have to spend 3 times as much to move up to the next level of performance cars.

Or if money is not an object, buy a turbo M3, no matter what an EVO stock or not will not keep up witht that M3 (the EVO may get the standing jump, but that will fall quikly). Wish I had that kind of money

The guy who said both cars were ugly and slow has a Z. Anywho, I've driven a car with as much or more top end than the M3, a stock '03 Cobra.

The people who voted WRX have nothing to say, because all the facts say the Mustang should win.

That's funny, my friend's stock '01 GT ran a 14.1 at the track here in FL just 2 weeks ago. It was ~70 degrees and very humid, too. On a dry 50 degree night, he definately could be in the 13's STOCK. That same night, there were two OTHER stock GT's running 14.2 and 14.3, respectively. Also, plenty of stock GT's, including one in Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords have run in the high 13's, with the best I've seen being 13.7. In the best case scenario for the WRX, it's a driver's race in the 1/4. From a roll, however, the GT should definately win.

you are WAY off. a stock WRX is a low 14's car at best.

the mustang GT 99+ can run high 13's stock. that's a half second faster in the 1/4 mile, which is like 7-8 car lengths at the finish line.

so from a roll or a stop, a mustang GT is faster than a WRX, period.

Yeah, that's right. BUT THIS ISN'T A QUARTER MILE RACE IS IT? If you read the whole thing, you would realize it has been pionted out that the WRX's greatest advantage is it's abilty to luanch, but this is from a rolling start, so there is NO luanch.

Time slips? This discussion was not about a quarter mile race, that I would give to the WRX, but from a rolling start to each cars top end, I still stick with the newer stangs.

I can't believe this thread is still going. Everyone who knows what they are talking about is in agreement that the Mustang SHOULD win in the 1/4. GT's run high 13's at best, and WRX's low 14's. Also, from a roll, the GT should walk away.
