I meant in Europe as in people like Steve Patemans and John Sleaths pro street cars which are only cracking high 8s still i beleive?

Norris' Evo would hardly get eaten alive

Fastest road legal in USA is in the high 7s or so?

you didnt say europe,thats why i asked.and there are road legal cars in the 6s IIRC,so yes,eaten alive! but even high 7s is MILES faster than a low 9!so again yes eaten alive. think about it,a high 10 is soooo much quicker than a low 13. same overall difference (actually bigger as the percentage margin is larger.)

That's some bloody pace. Thing I love about the most is:It's an allrounder and not just a straightline car.

yes they stretch the meaning of street legal,but that evo would probably not pass an mot down your local ATS!
but for an overall car its awesome!!!!!
