going through car and drivers website and noticed they tested the new evo, i was rather shocked to see the evo only ran a 13.8. Figuring within the year these will be on the streets its good imo to know thy enemy lol. This was the lower rung of the models though with a 5spd, an evo none the less. i know urls aren't suppose to be posted but i can't post up the spec sheet.http://www.caranddriver.com/assets/download/mitlan_evo_x_08_ss.pdf

Wow, I would have figured the new Evo to be at least, as quick as the previous model. Perhaps, the six speed MR will be quicker.

What do you think about the 2009 C6 Z07 AKA "Blue Devil" Suppose to be pushing 650 out of a Supercharged LS7 and be 3.5 0-60 And it looks badass!

Since my computer hates .pdf files, I'm gonna wing it.

Few things. Probably still on break-in miles. ECUs these days switch up timing maps and fuel for break-in. Next, they probably didn't beat on it. EVOs do best with redline clutch dumps. Which transmission is it, the paddle-shifted one, or an actual gated, shifter & clutch transmission? Significant differences there.

Believe me...much faster times are only a manual boost controller away.

It's all in who those cars are sold to and liability. Those Evos are fully capable of 11 second ETs with very little, but they can't get away with selling an 11 second car...it's just too fast for the general public.
