any way a vette can launch like the mitsu can on the STREET?
Why should they launch the same way? The vette doesn't have a turbo to keep spooled.

Plus it has more low end torque, so you launch at a lower rpm (instead of 5000 - with AWD), then get into it. Sure, the Evo may get a 10ft jump or so, but then the vette will be saying "color me gone" as it flies by.

My brain hurts.

I think he should get the lancer.

the lancer is faster than the vette because it has 4WD

and can be modded to be fast enough
I can't believe this is a serious post

I can't believe this is a serious thread.. In all honesty I would not put a C5R bodykit on a vette unless I was packing a 427 and I trailered it to the track.

Oh man, if your brother is retarded enough to pass on a C5 for a Lancer because the Lancer launches better in a video game then he is seriously retarded and shouldnt be driving. He should have his helmet and be ready to board the small bus.

That was one of the funniest threads I've ever read!!!! I'd get the Syline, that's the best car on SRS by Sony Playstation 2. In that cool game, you can't even get a vette

Yeah, I really sold my Z06 so that I could save up for that really cool Jetta from F & F....haahahhaah Funny stuff

yeah, the whole point of this thread was to find a c5r bodykit
we've seen LOTS of bodykits
but none that look exactly like the c5r
sad. doesnt the c5r look pretty?

about the whole EVO thing,
someone was selling one down the street for dirt cheap
(we're neighbors)

when i was talking about the EVO here,
i was saying things he was saying.
quoting him to be funny
wasnt it funny that people really think like that?
i didnt think that Next Phase would get "butt hurt"
but apparantly he took it to the cheeks and called me a "douche bag"

the latest the EVO guy said?
"the vette has IRS, the EVO has AWD,
lets do it light to light and see who wins"

i dont have a vette so he didnt want to race
and as much trash talk that goes between us,
he wont race my TA

GS_Geoff, i was talking about the acceleration,
not the RPM at which they launch.

you had it right at "the Evo may get a 10ft jump or so, but then the vette will be saying "color me gone" as it flies by"

02 Camaro SS, MJD, your beliefs are right!
this IS NOT a serious thread, concerning LS1 vs EVO

this thread was started to find a c5r kit for a c5.


cant have any fun around here without you blokes starting ****..
(i dont even play need for speed!)

fwiw, i was having my z28 detailed one day and noticed an Evo in the parking lot. I asked who's it was and it was the guy that had just got done detailing my car. Long story short, we brought them out, my z28 had a lid, off road Y pipe, and a dumped bullet, on bfg 315 drags. His EVO had all bolt ons.

I did my burn out, and got ready, he revved up to probably his redline and was ready.

He jumped me by no more than 8 feet. As he shifted gears, I passed him.

Afterwards his first comment was "holy **** that car is fast!"

Oh, and him and i both left the same length of rubber on the ground when we launched.

just my .02
