Evo evolution

[Rexmonster]

Hi guys,

I am trying to find some statistics to settle an argument.

A guy i know claims that a Mitsubishi Evo 2 is more or less as quick as the new one, which we all know is bollocks, hence the concept of evolution. For a start in standard form it has nearly 30hp more, not to mention better turbo etc. This isnt even taking into account the fact that the car is over 10 years old and will have deteriorated over time.

I realise this is trivial, but i would like to find out the true stats.

Had a look around the net but cant seem to find what i am looking for.

Any ideas?

Cheers, Rex.

I'd say it would be a very close thing, the Evo II is a lot lighter than the Evo VIII/IX, so should set away just as quickly, but won't have as much at the top end. Lots of good reading here, Evo II specs, Evo VIII specs, 0.1 of a second 0-60 difference, some Evolution!
