    Hurry and buy the new Automobile Magazine. They have on the front cover the giant 5 killers. 1 of those 5 is the new EVO. They compare it to an S4. The times for 0-60 and 1/4 are way off. I get a kick out of these Mags. Not saying the new Evo is a piece either

    My biggest gripe with auto reviewers is their general bias towards pure sportiness, probably because they only spend a day with the car pushing it to it's limits at a track.

    Read that yesterday.. forgot what they posted for 1/4mi, but I'm guessing it's not too far off performance wise since our cars are pigs and the EVO is a consumer level track car. I'd still rather be driving my S4 though...

    Yeah, the times were way off. I like the new Evo though. It's a really nice car and fun to drive.

    Re: Got to see this

    They posted a 1/4 mile time of 14.4!!!! I am going to write in for the next issue asking them if they know that in a 1/4 mile you are supposed to push the go pedal down more than half way.

    Have you read "0-60" yet?
    Even though it's not strictly a Euro mag IMO its the best out there by far!

    Are you serious? That sounds a bit strange.
