Probably messed up the launch or drove in 100F+ weather.

Some magazines don't do clutch drops and speed shifting. This damages the time of high revving turbo engines the most. I think I saw one magazine get a 15.0 with the S2000.

Maybe that EVO already had 2 launches on the clutch?

The stock EVO is a MID 13 second car. I don't care if people are getting 13.1 or 15.1, it's a MID 13 second car.

Automobile Magazine is a joke. I let my subscription run out 10 years ago. It's for guys who wear smoking jackets with an ascot and call a station wagon a "shooting brake"

A pompous windbag of a rag...

I personally think Road & Track does a pretty good job representing what a decent driver can do with just about any car.
