well,comparing those two isnt really much of a comparison at all. I completely understand that the jeep will pull the 0-60 run in under 5 seconds, but you must realize that it is all wheel drive. You see alot of high end cars hit their 0-60 times right around the same time as the jeep, but they lack the all wheel drive train. Their pull through the rest of the quarter is much better because they have less weight, faster top end acceleration, ect... The evo is also all wheel drive, but is much lighter and will accelerate greater at top end speeds than the jeep. The jeeps quarter mile time, if im not mistaken is high 13 - mid 14's? The evo is significantly under that, coming in at a low 13. 5G on a turbo car is lots of fun. WIth the right mods, $5000 will put the evo in the 12's very very easy.
