My SS vs. Evo
Well I finally got to race an Evo for once and was wanting to know what the hype was about. I was on 141 (for those of you in St. Louis) and see this evo in front of me at a light. He revs at the light and takes off with me directly behind him, so I hit it and wait till the next light. We get to the next light and we both go and he (with the AWD) gets a half a car on me and he never pulled and I stayed at the same spot. We hit another light this time I get a absolutely perfect launch and by the time I shift into 2nd he is half a car behind me, then TWO MORE STOP LIGHTS we race again!!! and they were both dead ties... very nice car and he had exhaust and some type of hella loud BOV, I was impressed but proud at the same time because I held my own and I think he had the faster car because I thought those run 13 flat stock and he was not stock (i have MAF, lid, free mods, and short stick)..... however in one more month I shall have my cam and full exhaust with a ORY and the outcome shall be different

Nice kill, how hard were you pulling on second? because i raced an evo mr, we went
from a ~35 roll he punched it when i was at his door and to 80 i was pulling slowly
and managed to put him about a 1/2 car behind me we shut it down and i was still slowly crawling.
96 formula M6 (cai)

With a LS1 you should be able to beat him pretty easy from a roll but from a dig ti will be a race for you to fight for. He will have the easy, rev it to 6k adn dump the cluths while you have to worry about a little thing called traction. You still should pull him once ya get outta 2nd. GJ man

You should leard how to lauch your car better. An LS1 should beat those cars.
At least we beat them here in NJ.
I never saw an EVO be able to take an LS1 , unless it was not stock ,and the LS1 was bone stock.

on the highway, they arent too impressive, i beat one too...he got the jump on me, but i went flying by him shortly after...its really good that you kept up with him from the lights, but once your get to 2nd you should start pulling him, by 3rd it would be ugly unless he had a different turbo setup or nitrous. good kill

That evo must of been pretty modded for you not to be able to put buslenghts between you two.

Not when the AWD guy pulls up to an ls1 powered car on a sticky tire and drag friendly suspension. That's when the tables turn.

Stock Evo's run 13.4-13.5 stock. Also to run a 13.4-13.5 means a GOOD driver. Most guys around my town, can't launch for their life. Like any car, it takes practice. And by reving to 6k and dumoping it, that is a good way to say I want a new trans/clutch.
When I had my 02 WRX, it took a while to get the launch down, but once I did, nothing rwd or fwd with street tires were keeping up outta the hole.
Now if a rwd had some slicks, then I had to worry!

I believe you cannot rev the MR to 6k and drop the clutch, something about a limiter.
I've got a buddy who has an EVO that would probably destroy you, so I wouldn't be that cocky when racing an EVO.

One, the car probably would not and two I doubt you have that friend in the first place noob. On the internet the "friend" is always faster. As for being afraid from a civic, you are comparing apples to oranges.

There are probably more EVOS out there that are faster than your car than slower or shall they all bow down to your 13.5
I love how you threw in ricer there, makes you feel all tuffff right? It's too bad that it made absolutly no sense.
If I made a "ricer" response, you have made a moronic reponse "bud".

as for the ricer response, saying well i know a guy who has a faster evo than your car is gay, its just an excuse, if you want to tell me about his car i wouldnt mind listening but thats just a weak *** comeback
