No, the Evo's not my car. Remember, it's a C5Z, kind of a big difference when talking about near-stock performance.

Just asking because you seem to defend the car as if it's yours. The only thing modified since the car rolled out the dealer is the intake and headers so?

What ifs are stupid. Results are what matter.

He lost. His car is slower then the evo. He has alot more on the table he can do to go faster and so does the evo if he wanted.

Really not a hard concept. You just dont seem to understand.

Both patforms are bad *** as i see it the the 4g63 is the best of the import word and the lsx is the best of the domestic word and each vehicle has its pros and its cons. so dont get your panties in a bunch ladies arguing about the what ifs.

and how many LSXs have you seen do 9s? I rest my case. No one is worried about the one in a million EVO. You dump enough money into ANYTHING and it will be fast. End of the day its still a ******* mitsubishi .

What's your point? An Evo isn't limited to drag racing, like 90% of F-bodies are.

Most guys just want a reasonably quick car that can still turn a corner.

David Buschur DDs a 9 second Evo with full interior (probably a low 10 second on street tires). The car can still handle as well as or better than showroom new Evos do. A 9 or 10 second F-body is gonna be running drag suspension and slicks/skinnies.

End of the day its still a ******* mitsubishi .
Yeah...so?

evo is not the best of the import world, nor not close to the top.... Maybe in the top 10.
