Lol MS3 vs an EVO from a roll....MS3 should win. FWD has the advantage at that point.
FWD has no advantage, not to mention the Evo still has more power.

Maybe your new to the idea of parasitic drive train loss.


I know all about AWDs loss at top speed due to the fact it has to share its power with 4 wheels, but there is still a 30hp advantage here.

Not to mention you wont really notice much till about 100mph.

Its not at *top speed*. You lose hp/tq across the entire RPM range.

I almost bought a used IX MR when I was car shopping but why pay 30k for a 3 year old car when I can get a brand new MS3 for 23k OTD with a better interior and the same straight line speed?

I would never buy a car for its ability to have a high top speed.


Because if you remember, these are street cars so when you drive on the street, handling and acceleration are all that matters in performance.

Still I would take a G8 and whoop both with more comfort and size then both as well.

I heard the new 09 jeep unlimiteds were not only amazingly fast but got great gas mileage.
