lol it's so funny to see people get butt hurt about videos like that.
They're not my favorite car and i really wouldn't care to own one, but i will give credit where it's due... roughly 283hp from each cylinder and at each wheel...

Who cares if it's cheap and crappy...so are 90% of the old muscle cars when they were made...But who gives a damn if it's fast and that's all u care about?
You can give me the ugliest rusty jalopy wagon on earth and i wouldn't give a damn what anyone thought if i were lining up with people and hammering them out with bus lengths.

^^^yeah,but i'd rather drive a crappy old school muscle car than a turbocharged import econobox four banger that sound's like a goddamn lawn mower.

i dont care how much power they make,i just can't get myself to like 'em(no offense to the import lovers out there)

Full interior AC and radio = a ton more weight then a gutted Evo. And even at teh same weight a viper would need to race from 190-250 to keep traction.

for making power on a dyno.

If you made the most power in a 03-04 Cobra wouldn't you be proud?

They actually have the turbo vipers up to 1800-1900whp as far as I know. I know there are several supras putting more power to the ground than that evo too.


Btw as for the traction element.. at those power levels the front wheels are pretty much dangling in the air so the rear wheels are really where the power hits the pavement.

Fast and very powerful indeed. But it's like having a 2000hp shortbus...no matter how fast it is, you're still retarded if you're in it...

I think theyre claiming AWD HP record. And as far as it being an Evo.. I like 8's better than the new 10's. And no matter what year Evo it is at least its not a Neon lol

wow, kinda sad seeing some of you guys not appreciate other cars. dont get me wrong, i wouldnt ever purchase an evo unless i was rich. but you gotta give credit where it's due. i'd hate having a 700rwhp LS1 and get laughed at from a roll or dig against a car like this
