someone on the autoblog post had a good point though. it's not fair to judge the times year to year due to air pressure of tires, air temp, weather, etc. a decent point considering the times each year are soo close.

53.XXX by the HKS evo for the OEM class. However, a lot of ppl dispute that time for the OEM class since the HKS evo has an all carbon fiber body

here's my issue with comparos like these: the driver might be the variable.

unlike the STIG, 2 diff drivers drive the 2 diff cars.

i suggest they hire the STIG to do the timed tests...

a bit of a hollow victory though...

"Neither car is quite as quick as its immediate ancestor though. "

How the hell do you **** that up? Who in the hell would buy a car, either of these, thats slower AND more expensive than the one its replacing?? Its not like these cars got saddled with crippling emissions or crash standards since last year? They have EVERY reason FASTER than their predecessors?!?

wow,
