I'm definitely surprised by how hard the EVO pulls from a roll
When I decided I was going to get another car, I narrowed it down to the STi, EVO, and G35. I need AWD so G35 (coupe) was out. Then it just came down to STi vs EVO. My boss had an STi and he let me drive it for an hour or so. However, I didnt want to beat on it.
I noticed that it pulled hard from low speed rolls, but I really couldnt get on it too hard from the higher rolls cause I didnt want to abuse the car with him in it.
I figured that the AWD in the STi/EVO would rob so much power, the car wouldnt pull well at higher speed...Then I bought my current IX and am just amazed at the pulling power in 5th gear! Thing feels like my 99 z28 did in 5th gear (6speed car).
Do the MR's pull that hard in 5th or is the gearing much different?
I could search, but I'm here now, so here goes: What is the top speed of the EVO IX, and what do they trap?

ok here is the thing...the MR and STi pull hard in any gear...even 6th...as an owner of both cars (previous 05 sti owner) i can safely say they are great cars and comparing it to a Z28 is lowballing it:-P
also if you read car magazines each one has a different trap speed...some say 0-60 in 4.6 sec...others like edmunds say 0-60 in 4.9 sec. all depends on the driver....also 1/4 times i've seen around low 13's

thanks guys.
I'm only comparing it's pulling power to the z28, cause as I said, I was shocked that the EVO pulled even comparably hard. I think it's in my head, though, cause my z28 trapped 112 with just intake/exhaust. This EVO can't be higher than, what, 103ish??

its not all about trapping...an evo is an all around amazing car...on and off road, on and off the track. personally i don't take trap times into much consideration....what really counts is roll speeds cause thats what you'll be doing in and out of turns

its not that hard to get ur IX trappin 112 either but yea the Evo's top end isn't as bad as some ppl make it out to be...top end is "limited" due to boost tapering mainly...after u get a tune/flash and boost controller, esp. cams ur top end will be pretty good
