Default C5Z vs Evo 8

So a buddy of mine has an Evo 8 with some stuff done to it, and I wanted to race him to bench mark my car before it goes under the knife this winter...

His car issssss....

2005 Evo 8 w/ SSL (full weight including spare tire)
Full Bolt-Ons, Kelford 272 Cams, IX Turbo, FIC 1450cc Injectors, e85

and mine....

02 Z06, vararam and LT's and untuned...

oh and if you are wondering what happened the last few races...I was having issues getting the car out of third and let off...

Get a tune and you'll be door to door with him. Get a cam and a tune and you'll put a few cars on him. Put heads cam and a tune and you will be the host of the rape show!!!

It seems as if the Evo is a mere turbo swap away from hanging with (if not beating) this hypothetical H/C Corvette.

Nice runs

yeah, hes had the car a long *** time and drives it well. When he break boosts like that, and I break traction...its an immediate 1 or more car pull as seen in the video

and 1992talontsiAWD is right about that...if he went with an even bigger turbo I would have my hand full even with a h/c set up. Hell, the setup hes on right now hes over prolly just a touch over 400...

I don't think I will be doing heads, but I can't win a race up here with my car so I might just do a cam/tire/spray and see where that puts me

Nice kill for the EVO. Same results I seen from a buddies 400whp EVO vs a 08 C6 with Cold air and tune.

Great vids... Looked like both cars were about even but the vette spun just enough to not make it back.
I have a similar setup on my evo and have about the same resuly with the ls3 cars... Until the dragstrip...lol.

That evo looks banged up, pass in it sounds like a tard. Get a tune and lay down the law.

Shesh all of that just to beat a fairly basic all motor car.

Let me rephrase, a vid of a member racing a properly driven turbo 4.

You are the member so that doesn't really count.

seems as if the Corvette would have to hook up the kit from hanging with (if not beating) this hypothetical big turbo Evo.

I wouldn't call a H/C car a fairly basic all motor car, but then again a bigger turbo isn't "all of that" either.

"All of that"? A turbo swap?

What's stopping the Evo from throwing on nitrous as well?

...It's just as easy as installing it on the Corvette...

See what happens when you bring up what-ifs?
