EVO9MR vs SRT-8 and Evo9MR vs STI

Just heads up, don't miss Road and track latest magazine Evo9 MR vs STI and also don't miss this magazine called Speed which they also have the Evo9 MR vs the Dodge SRT-8.

Evo MR wins in all contest. Anyway, not everyone has access to a local shop were they sell these magazines so I want it to make it fair and let you know, I personally collect magazines and can't afford to miss any Evo comparisson

Happy new year!!

*****Update, I am scanning the pages as we speak, give me a few minutes and you will see some good artcicle/pics


The articles may not be posted, it is copyrighted. We have had the magazines request in the past that thier articles be removed.

11.5 in the quarter for the SRT-8? I think they meant 13.5. Thanks for posting the article!

Yeah, 11.5 had to be a typo, but it is probably 12.5, not 13.5. They can trap 111mph stock, so if they give the IX credit for 12.7 (great driver only - no one here has done it yet), then they probably give the SRT-8 credit for 12.5, which also could be done with a great driver.

Sorry man. I tried for about 30 minutes and the problem is that the file size is too big. If I try to minimize the filze size then I would have to post about 30 different fragments and it would be hard to organize them by chronological order,size etc, etc.

My main objective was to inform you about the test and that the magazine was on the market.

Good luck and I pologize for my poor editing skills, sorry to disapoint you guys on that..

The tests I've read the SRT8 cars are mid thirteens. 12s are really difficult with all that weight.

it has to be 13.5, diff not 11.5 or 12.5, also there is someone on here that went 12.9 or 12.8 with bone stock evo IX so i believe 12.7 is posible with a great driver.

Here ya go:

Stock SRT-8 12.56 at 111.5

This is a 300C - is the Charger slower/heavier? Remember, I'm not concerned with magazine times. I'm only concerned with what real drivers do at real tracks.

I also never said a 12.7 was not possible on a IX. Hell, I'm quite SURE that I could take a IX and run a 12.7 right now. If they can trap 107mph, then they can hit 12.6s with an awesome 60ft and great driving, but 12.7 is more realistic for a really good driver. Anyway, on here we've only had IXs run 12.9s, but that's with average driving at best, which is why I said they must be giving credit for GREAT driving on BOTH cars.

In my mag it was the SRT8 vs GTO. Both in the 400bhp range. The gto ran a 13.8 and the srt8 ran a 13.5. The evo9 and the sti were also head to head. Sti ran 13.4 and the evo9 13.3. EVO RULES ALL.
