Default C6 z51 LS3 6mt vs. Modded Evo

Saw a super cleeeaaan Evo on the freeway the other night

Exhaust, loud turbo spool, other than that don't know mods. Evo had a passenger I was solo.

Ran about 6-7 times, every time we're even from 40-100 / 60-100 then I pull like crazy after 100mph.

My car is bone stock, I wonder what the Evo had? Probably just bolt-ons and tune. My old Evo 9 with bolt-ons and tune could keep up with a lot of cars under 100mph due to gearing and weight, but not sure about a stock LS3 Vette.

Good run.
Yeah, Evos are strong under 100... but die off afterwards. I've put a few lengths on one from low rolls, so its safe to say its prob more than just 1 or 2 bolt ons.

Do you know what year/generation the EVO was? That makes a big difference.

Sorry should have specified in OP it was a CT9A chassis, i.e. Evo 8 or 9, couldn't see the front bumper to confirm, plus the car had a body kit (wider fenders, different rear bumper, etc.)

Might have been bolt-ons/tune/cams then. If it had more than ~350whp or so, it wouldn't have fallen back so hard. Either that or maybe a small turbo swap?
