My EVO 8 w/ similar mods went 12.59@109 (good air night). I know this is not a ton of mph but the 4crapper really holds it's own if you don't venture out of it's comfort zone. I don't race hi mph. Unless an f-bod is sportin' stickies a dig is all catchup for them.

 

Nice races but that trash talking was gay.

I always wondered how my car would do against an Evo from a dig but I haven't met anyone who knows how to launch them. Obviously up top it wouldn't be good for it but I bet the first two gears or so would be decent.

 

ya we trash talk but were all buddies so it diffrent...

The V is NOT know for being a good car from the dig to begin with, and ive only had it for 3 month so i still screw sometimes up like i did in the video.

Im sure you will do better, my LT1 camaro was better from a dig then this car, but I have a cam going in this saterday so there will be a rematch video soon

 

from the roll, the evo should've brake boosted...

 

did you get that cam? i would like to see the rematch vid! Im sure the outcome will be a lot better for you too.

 

DIG RACE ONLY---Be sure to point the cam (Correction here.... I MEANT VIDEO CAMera) at the back seat as I'd like to see the rearend come flying through it too!!!

Bouncy bouncy bounce.... BANG!

 

what the hell are you talking about man?

you on crack or something?






adaniel the cam will be done by the end of the week, i started the valve springs today but didnt get to finsih . They kicked my *** to be honest....

 

Honorable death and good kill. It's hard to beat that 4WD on the street if the guy knows how to launch, that is until the trans lets go. That EVO almost looks good...**** did I say that.

 

ya looks good but i would never buy one, I even got to drive it, feels nice ...

My buddie launches good but the all wheel system isn't made to take a beating with that much HP ...

 

Near stock HP

I could see 500+AWHP but BPU.

 

Just about everyone I know with a basic mod evo that launches breaks something in the drivetrain within 10k ...

but I guess you take the good with the bad just like any other performance car..

 

Wheel hop is completely avoidable,...for those of us that have never driven a V in,..a hostile environment. Be it as simple as a rear tire change, or as extreme as diff/suspension swaps..bushing swaps...bars and brakcets,...either those,...or a good ol fashioned aware driver that knows when to lift and or pedal the throttle.


Very avoidable however,...not everyone knows when to lift. Or sometimes, **** just is gonna happen one way or the other with aluminum cased differentials and torque.

 

Yeah the Evo 9 stock is capable of trapping at 104-105 so on top end just a few small mods definitely would give a LS V8 all it could handle.

 

6K dumps will do that, but a smart driver will let the clutch absorb some of the shock and have no problem cutting 1.6's on street tires.

Stock block and drivetrain, he made it 3 years before he sold it and it never broke. Maybe 25-35 passes

LOL. Theoretically you're right.... but when you toss the adrenaline (and the fact you are losing) into your ideal launch on a slimy street.... Like I said BANG!


The cures are different for the different years and there is NO sure fire 100% cure except lifting when the hop starts... =U LOST. When you toss a cam into the recipe now you have moved the launch rpm up and also your chance for wheelhop.

Been there.... seen that movie circa 2004.

Sweet....no bans

 

What a budget way to go!!!! $4k???? Trade it in and get a G8.

$4000+ just for consistent traction off the line????

You're kidding, right?

 

I just spit Jamba Juice all over the screen and keyboard when I read that. It's funny cuz it's true!

 

REAL SORRY.... NO CRACK--- Just abbreviated CAMERA... lol.
