Evo 9 Had a quick run in with a new Evo 9. Guy wanted to play so I obliged. Tried to roll up beside him for the start but as soon as I got halfway up his car he nailed it without signaling for the run. I was in third getting ready to run him so it was no big deal. We rolled at 65. I reeled him in in 3rd gear then shifted to 4th and left him behind by a good distance. I wouldnt say standing still, but he wasnt going to catch me anytime soon. The Evo was somewhat fast. I really think it would have beat my car if it was stock maybe even cam only. Even though he jumped the race I was ready for him (had I not been in the right gear already it would have been a quick loss) 
so it wasnt that bad of a start. I spotted him a half a car length you could say. I walked by him but didnt shoot by him from 70 to 109 is when I shifted and then started to put serious distance. Was a fun quick run.

Yeah, those Evo's are pretty quick. I ran an Evo MR at Ennis and he got my *** out of the hole real quick like. 8.7 to my 8.9 and I was catching him at the last half of the race. Would love to catch one on the highway, given your mods, I am sure he was modded pretty well.

The new IX's are putting down aywhere from 260-270whp so they are very underrated from the factory. Most are trapping 104-106 as well so they are quite abit faster than the VIII's which normally trap 101-103.
