Subaru WRX STI vs Mitsubishi Lancer EVO IX

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Subaru WRX STI is the quicker car, covering it in 13.69 s at 101.6 mph against the Mitsubishi Lancer EVO IX’s 13.77 s — a margin of 0.08 s. To 60 mph the Subaru WRX STI takes 5.27 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 Subaru WRX STI or the Mitsubishi Lancer EVO IX faster?
The Subaru WRX STI. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 13.69 s to the Mitsubishi Lancer EVO IX's 13.77 s, a margin of 0.08 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 5.27 s against 5.28 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Subaru WRX STI 0-60 time?
The Subaru WRX STI reaches 60 mph in 5.27 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 13.69 s at 101.6 mph.
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 trap speed does each car run?
The Subaru WRX STI trips the lights at 101.6 mph and the Mitsubishi Lancer EVO IX at 102.0 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 Subaru WRX STI and 9 of 10 for the Mitsubishi Lancer EVO IX. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
