Uh, semantics... 3 hundreths of a second..is it worth the extra $300,000? I was just throwing out an example of a high performance car. |
Well, that 3 hundreths of a second in the 0-60 (actually the 0-60 is 3.2s according to Motor Trend) continues to translate into a 0-100 of 7.06s, and very low 11s in the 1/4. If you want to talk about raw acceleration, the Porsche dominates the EVO MR VFQ. And don't even get started on handling.
A closer comparison would have been to a Porsche Turbo S, which costs $131k.
And if the EVO MR VFQ costs the same here as it will in England, it'll cost about $73,000. (40k GBP = $72,685) Once again, imagine the the performance of an STi with $20k put into it, and then imagine what another $20k feels like in your back pocket.
Granted cars are usually more expensive in Europe/England, and granted that EVO is going to be an uber-sick car, I think you'd do much better to buy a "lower model" car like a WRX or STi or EVO8 and mod it to beyond those performance levels for cheaper... or just buy a Porsche.
i.e. "Special Edition" vehicles are marked up more than their worth.
