Got Killed By An Evo I got duped into this race earlier in the week. It was supposed to be a stock turbo Evo IX MR with a 5 speed swap, cammed with all bolt ons.
Turns out, he just had an FP Black put on and tuned this morning, made 525whp maxing out the stock fuel system. After finding this out, I couldn't say no and said **** it.
350 lb passenger for me, 3 skinny fellas in his car. He could've stuffed some anvils in there, he had over 100whp on me lol. He wasn't used to the lag so that's why I got out on him a couple cars.
From a 40 punch:

Nice run! Your car sounds awesome as always. I HATE when dsm guys claim "stock turbo" but the only thing thats actually stock about it is the frame. That setup is capable of high 5's low 6's with the right supporting mods an FP black is comparable to a gt35r IIRC.

It's all good, I knew I was gonna get killed!
Yeah my buddy isn't the skinniest but even without him I'd be way behind in this race.
Edited the first post, in car footage from my car is posted.

I dont understand the appeal of these turbos, especially given the price. They are almost always used in drag racing applications (street) where their advantages will never be used (fast spool, road racing durability)

I had the Red because it still used the completely stock housing. I tried to keep my Evo a "sleeper" back then, if you could call it that. The engine bay looked stock for the most part, even utilizing the stock upper intercooler pipe while being able to pull off upper 120mph traps.
I bought the Black right as soon as it hit the market, then after the first batch was sold out and the waiting list was hitting 3+ months, I turned around and sold it for a $300 profit.

Great race! I ran an Evo with an FP Red that was making about the same power and it took a cam and 100 shot to run door to door with him. Some of the best races I've had in my Z28.
