Me vs EVO Here is a little bit of Easter Sunday street racing action for you to enjoy.

Go here for a higher quality vid and better angle. http://www.vimeo.com/10685860
This evo has a 2.3L stroker, head, cams, turbo upgrade, built trans/diff, 29psi, very experienced driver, etc. First run he spun and I didn't!
I sprayed him when I shifted to 2nd and it was over with. Second run he hooked a lot better and I spun hard in low gear, but he never got ahead of me. I held him off and never used the jug.
Who says RWD on radial tires has nothing for a AWD beast??? pffffttt

Nice kill. The EVO isn't making that much at 29psi, maybe 450-480 to the wheels. Any other specs on the car? Sounds like he needs tires if he spun with that much power. How much are you making on the bottle, 550+?

Yes the EVO is getting retuned by MELLON this week and the Meth Inj will be on next time we race. I still don't think he has a chance in hell though. With the small shot that is on my car right now I could run 5.9-6.0s in the 1/8th on radials if our local POS track would hold it. I run 6.70s on motor.

The front shocks are on 3-4 clicks and the rear is on 6. Nice and stiff in the rear. You don't want it to dip much if at all. I'm running 325 M/T Radials with 17-18 lbs of air.

lol it wasn't. The next race will be a bit different with him making probably another 100whp or so, but I've got a few tricks up my sleeve if I need them.

6.7's on motor? Damn. Yeah, he is going to need a lot of work on his launch and quiet a bit more power to take you. I think it could close if he did the right suspension mods and tuned for E85. Until that or more, you're going to keep raping him.
You going for 9's on spray, or do you only do 1/8th?

The 2nd race was on motor and I spun pretty hard.
