Mitsubishi Lancer EVO IX vs Honda Civic Type R (FK8)

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Honda Civic Type R (FK8) is the quicker car, covering it in 13.64 s at 107.4 mph against the Mitsubishi Lancer EVO IX’s 13.77 s — a margin of 0.13 s. To 60 mph the Honda Civic Type R (FK8) takes 5.13 s and the Mitsubishi Lancer EVO IX 5.28 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 Mitsubishi Lancer EVO IX or the Honda Civic Type R (FK8) faster?
The Honda Civic Type R (FK8). Over a standing quarter mile it runs 13.64 s to the Mitsubishi Lancer EVO IX's 13.77 s, a margin of 0.13 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 5.13 s against 5.28 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Mitsubishi Lancer EVO IX 0-60 time?
The Mitsubishi Lancer EVO IX reaches 60 mph in 5.28 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 13.77 s at 102.0 mph.
What is the Honda Civic Type R (FK8) 0-60 time?
The Honda Civic Type R (FK8) reaches 60 mph in 5.13 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 13.64 s at 107.4 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Mitsubishi Lancer EVO IX trips the lights at 102.0 mph and the Honda Civic Type R (FK8) at 107.4 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 Mitsubishi Lancer EVO IX and 9 of 10 for the Honda Civic Type R (FK8). Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
