I don't know about the new EVO...but my buddy has an EVO VII with most available bolt-ons short of a bigger turbo...he is putting down a little over 310 awhp (mustang dyno) His best is 12.4 @112 mph at a 3000 feet above sea-level (and that was on 91 octane pump gas). Definitely a mid- to high 11 second car. 210 mph stock?...NO CHANCE! Maybe theoretically not considering wind resistance, gravity,or any other factors that effect us all. If he did a theoretical calclation (some internet sites will do it for you) based on gear ratios and redline...then it probably said 210 mph. After all, if you do it for the gearing in a M6 GTO ...6th gear should allow the GTO to go 246 mph!...How many of you believe that will actually happen? That is right...NOONE believes that.

The X is a nasty little bastard. He'll be faster but you'll get the chicks...they are ugly as sin IMO.

RE: New EVO???
I agree with everyone, your friend is basically doing worse than bench racing... he's bench racing without having a bench to sit on!
I don't think the new gen EVOs look that great either. I think the old school EVOs looked the best:
I do like the last gen EVO look too... they have a great road presence. The new ones just look like Matchbox cars to me.

I'll believe the 12.5 stock when I see it! They usally run low to mid 13's at the track now and unless they pick up 350HP I doubt they'do mid 12's. I can only speculate from what I've read in magazines but there supposed to have 300HP and weigh about 3500 pounds (same as the current STI) . Who knows how under rated that 300HP will be though??

I think it'll run about 12.7 too. I was at a Dodge dealer the sales men had the Evo 9 MR. He says it has a terrible top end. He said it would be a good match with the EVO Vs his Ram hemi truck top end. I like the Evo's looks especially the new one. I would love to have the new one.But I love the sound and pull of a V8.

And I'd like to see an AWD drivetrain pull that kinda top speed....turning 2 sets of axles and 4 wheels at those kind speeds

edit: ...and as many turbos as an Evo has cylinders...
