Not quite the cross-section you want to rely on when coming to a "definite" conclusion...You'll also notice on that site, that an Evo ran a 12.994 @ 103.620, which is 5mph slower than the SRT8s on the list. You don't think a good driver could parlay 5mph into .2 of a second?

those 1/4 mile times are a typo, those are actually road and tracks 0-100 times that they posted from another issue. the correct times can be found in r&t "sports & gt cars 2006" 13.5 for the IX MR 13.3 for the SRT-8

you can't use one time that an evo gets at a track to say how all other evo's will run at another track. some tracks evo's run low 13's all day and at another they barely break into the 13's with alot of 14 sec runs. there are to many variables such as temp, track surface, elevation, and even the timing equipment. but the one thing i know is that at any track a stock srt-8 is not going to post a mid 11 sec time.

The point is what cars are CAPABLE OF doing, not what they do in Tuscon, Idaho, NY, or Alabama where all the conditions of temp, humidity, and altitude are different.

03/04 Evos run 13.3 with as much as 40-50whp less than IXs. I ran 13.1 in my 05 with a weak 1.92 60'. You do the math...

On winter time during the day you can be in shorts,sandles and t tops, great weather.
Then you have Sierra Vista which is about 45 minutes away with a lot of sub clubs as well.
On the other hand there are multiple club rides just about every single weekend, Tucson has a lot of mountains in the surroundings and there are a few autocross tracks nearby(Pinal motorplex, Sierra Vista municipal airport,Tucson SIR)
Every weekend Tucson offers you a huge variety of car events that you can join.
Also, there are a lot of well organized"not so friendly legal events" (cough) you know what I mean, there are straigh line desertic roads everywhere and off course that is a lot of fun too..
Then the best part of all, you can congregate 15-20 Evos and 10-15 WRX-STI at any given time, there are too many and fortunately WRX/STI and Evos here in Tucson get alone very very well because we normally go cruising the mountains often. Summarizing, great weather, great relationship between EVO/STI and a lot of respect for other cars but remember, SIR is famous for being one of the worst track in the country

IXs are dyno'ing 270-275whp on Dynojets with 93oct near sea level. 03-04s only did 225-235. You do the math...
If that doesn't make sense, then be advised that IX are consistently trapping 106-107mph on 93oct near sea level while 03/04s only do 102-103mph. Again, do the math.
