swoopy... 215 tires? not much there.. What will it do in the quarter? You don't seriously think it will outhandle the vette? Well.... maybe on a miniture autocross course... If you want to play that game tho I think funked can confirm... I can show you some go karts that will beat that car on the course I pick. Talk about weight to horsepower... and every bit as weather tight too.

Never seen an E type convertable that didn't leak or one that the top didn't fall apart in a couple of years.

What is an "evo" ? keep hearing about the things from the furriners but never heard of em here.

No it has 225 by 15's, and yes it will outhandle a vette. It only weighs 660 kg probably the weight of that vettes engine.

It will probaly beat it down the strip as well, 0-60 in 2.8 and 0-100 6.3.

They did an E - type roadster, best one they ever made IMO.

and Evo is the mitsubushi evolution a very nice car. Very fast too.

Lazs... that tiger has two engines... one driving the front wheels and one driving the rear. That explains how they can get away with smaller tires. Of course, that also opens several cans of worms elsewhere, but it does go down a straight track well.

And off course, its about as big as my left thigh... but oh well.

What I can't quite figure out is how someone would feel that car is any different than owning a motorcycle. It offers no more protection. I think it was invented because putting training wheels on a motorcycle made someone feel silly and they just didn't have enough ballance to operate one without the extra "support".

- so I'll have to wait a little more)

I strongly doubt a stock Evo (or WRX STi) could beat a Z06 Vette in any category. The Vette is simply lighter and much more aerodynamic, with more power, lower center of gravity, better suspension design (double wishbones), much bigger rubber, and better weight distribution. The only advantage of the Evo is the AWD system, which would probably only be an advantage on gravel or wet asphalt or snow. But on dry pavement I think a Z06 Vette (maybe even a standard Vette) would eat it alive. You can't really compare a purpose built sports/racing car with an econobox modified for racing.

Quick check of magazine test results: Z06 is .5 sec quicker to 60 mph, 2-3 sec quicker to 100 mph and has a 20 mph advantage in top speed.

They're pretty and all... but they should be functional also...
