Ford Focus RS (2009) vs Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X SE

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X SE is the quicker car, covering it in 13.28 s at 102.5 mph against the Ford Focus RS (2009)’s 13.83 s — a margin of 0.55 s. To 60 mph the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X SE takes 4.65 s and the Ford Focus RS (2009) 5.38 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from each car’s published kerb mass, rated power and drivetrain, then fitted to its own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Questions

Is the Ford Focus RS (2009) or the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X SE faster?
The Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X SE. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 13.28 s to the Ford Focus RS (2009)'s 13.83 s, a margin of 0.55 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 4.65 s against 5.38 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Ford Focus RS (2009) 0-60 time?
The Ford Focus RS (2009) reaches 60 mph in 5.38 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 13.83 s at 102.9 mph.
What is the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X SE 0-60 time?
The Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X SE reaches 60 mph in 4.65 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 13.28 s at 102.5 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Ford Focus RS (2009) trips the lights at 102.9 mph and the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X SE at 102.5 mph at the end of the quarter mile. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every time on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. Each car is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it matches its own published acceleration figures — 9 of 10 for the Ford Focus RS (2009) and 9 of 10 for the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X SE. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
