Where are the STI and 350Z? By the way, 5.9 seconds from 0 to 60 for Evo? That's kind of slow.

Also the C4S is pretty much faster than the C2 in most track conditions, with a skilled driver. It is a little bit slower on the straights but with bigger, stronger brakes, and better chassis dynamics it has lapped most tracks faster than even the C2 w/sports suspension.
Hi Fanman, I was not aware of that ... just the 996 C2 and C4 relation (which goes in favour of the C2). Have you got any more info about the C4S vs C2? Any actual lap-times (from magazines)?
ps. I don't see how a clutch has much to do with the 5-60mph time. The clutch is fully engaged before they floor the car and hence tghere's no slip ... if there was then in particluar the lap time would sugger. The only time the clutch should have been involved in the 5-60mph exercise is when changin from 2nd to 3rd and the slip there is not going to make too much difference there (as it would be then reflected in the 0-60mph time which can have the clutch slip on the 'launch' and the 1st-to-2nd change).
