I was just watching at the alarm shop the other day. Looks like a great video with a bunch of other neat cars too. Here's a link to the trailer.

Oh yeah I forgot to mention that you can copy and paste the link to windows media player also. Just click file(on wmp) and open url if you don't want to right click and save as.

its the Best Motoring June 2005 issue.

All the test were done on in the rain.
Evo 9 RS 0-200m=8.367 and 0-400m=13.270
Evo 9 GSR 0-200m=8.690 and 0-400=13.440
STI C spec 0-200m=8.533 0-400m 13.503
STI regular version I think 0-200=8.767 and 0-400m=13.683

Rolling race from 30km-200m

Evo 9 RS vs Evo 8MR RS.
They started from low rpms, I think it was 3rd gear by looking at the stick shift location. When the 3k rpm hit the Evo 9 pulled ahead slightly and at the end of the 200m race the 8 was by the 9's rear tires. The 9 almost beat it by 1 car lenght.


Evo 9 RS vs STI C spec
Same race at 3rd gear from 30km-200m
Viewing from the STI's cockpit both cars were dead even up until 3k rpm, after that the 9 pulled ahead and when the STI hit 5.3k rpm the Evo 9 had jumped 1 car lenght on it. By the 200m mark the C spec was 1 and half car lenght behind.

5 lap Tsukuba battle (spelling)... again wet road with little rain.

Starting grid
1.Evo 9 RS
2.Evo 9 GSR
3.STI C spec
4.STI

During the start the 9 RS and C spec were runing together up front in the first few turns. On the start the C spec jumped in front of the GSR. By lap 1 The RS was in front of the C spec by about 3-4 cars. The GSR was in front of the STI by about 2-3 cars. It was more of a 2 and 2 race with the RS and C spec going at it in front and the GSR with the STI chasing it down. By every lap the RS would pull more on the C spec and the GSR would get closer also. At the finish line the RS was at least 10 car lengths ahead of the C spec and the GSR was about 2 cars lenght behind the C pec. The STI ended up about 10-12 car behind the GSR. In the begining the C spec had a bigger gap on the GSR but towards the end the GSR was clearly cathcing up and the gap got closer from about 6 down to 2 cars lenght. BTW viewing from the C spec's cockpit in the long straights you could clearly see the RS walking away from it

Battle Results

Best Lap Total
1. 9 RS 1'10"14 5'57"49
2. C spec 1'11"04 6'00"82 +3"33
3. GSR 1'10"65 6'01"21 +3"72
4. STI 1'11"25 6'04"53 +7"04

Dam when was the last time I took this long to post a thread
