having clogged cats is gonna make anyone run like crap.
and i wasnt aware that the EVO was a road course/track champ. the guy i know that has one says it handles like a tank. in his opinion. and buying one for 30k+ doesnt appeal to me. my slightly used fbody suits me fine. and i think an SS or TA with the 1LE susp. could easily outhandle and out accelerate the AWD EVO-T. T=tank, thats what mario calls his! but i guess ignorance is bliss. if ignorance means not championing a ricer on an FBODY forum, call me blissful!
LMFAO

the evo is just another car ive seen at the track thats supposed to run low 13s, but doesnt. thats from my spectator experience. oh and 69YENKO, mario isnt the guy you raced.

i dont seee why some people get such poor times. I went to the track never having launched an AWD car, or a turbo car much less, and pulled a 1.7 60 foot on my first time and ran 12.9x
ah well, my main point is i wish people would quit with the ricer comments, cause just cause i drive an evo doesnt mean im a ricer. I just enjoy the car.

EvilDylan— You make a good point about all of us being enthusiasts, but that's
the way it's going to be as long as one set of people favor a make/model
over another.
C5 drivers like myself aren't even safe from this crowd!
[Edit: BTW, import drivers are the ones who usually challenge me on the street.]

just kidding, vettes are bad ***.
and i dont know what to say about the times people run in those things. ive seen a few,maybe 7, at different tracks and they were all running in the 13.8-14.2 range. i think its safe to assume they were all stock. i did see a link to an evo forum,on Z28.com i think, a while back, where the evo guys were talking about getting "dead" cars from the factory. they were saying that cars being put on the dyno were scoring like 50-75hp less than they should have. they didnt say if this was a common thing or not.

hm i havent read much of that. I do notice that several drivers seem to get slow times out of their evo. One thing that can make several tenths of a difference is jsut getting your 1-2 shift down. I saw a Galant Vr-4 go from 12.1x to 11.9x jsut by changing drivers, and you could see the massive difference in the 1-2 shift. the AWD makes such a jerky motion i guess its hard for some people to get a smoooth shift. Anyways, my evo seemed alright from the factory.

well it's like this. If you bog, you're screwed. you may as well take 5 or more thenths off your time because you are trying to get all 4 wheels going AND waiting for the turbo to spool. So you have to launch all out or you bog and your time will suffer badly.

No real legitamte reason behind it. Because i drive an import doesnt mean im a ricer. I have owed chevy's also. suprisingly never a ford though.

I may call your car a rice burner, but i wont call you a ricer. when you add that 3FT wing and the fart can exhaust then your a ricer. I try to be open minded about things and not make judgement. I can respect that you have a nice 30,000$ car. I paid 15,000 for mine but its used. Incase you guys didn't notice im in West Texas and our track sucks ***. even the brad new EVO ran a 14.0 the other guy ran a 14.2 cut me some slack. I think its funny how the only 2 guys that have said anything about my times dont even have f-bodys.

I ran high 13.9 first time out - that sucked ***. Whittled it down to low 13's with some practice.
Mods and more practice have me in the 11's now.

Just because I have lost to a TT Supra in the past does not mean that I will lose to a Camry with a fart can and cold air. Nor would I attempt to call out Pat Mucie (SP?) in his Mustang with my car, just because he lost to a Camaro once or twice.

You can talk humidity, altitude, temperature all you want. Lets see your timeslip and that 60'. I'm willing to bet it sucks ******* ***.
And mhulslan...late teens-early twenties? Those are pretty pricey cars for youngins. Probably daddy's money, which means they are probably spoiled, which points to the real problem. I know several Evo owners around here who are in their 30s.

Clogged cats can be a total hassle. I had the cat clog when I was driving my 94 V6 Camaro (since traded in for the 02 Z28). I guess the thing only had one cat, and after only a few minutes of being on, it was damn near impossible to keep the motor running, let alone get any power out of it. If your cat was clogged (or nearly clogged) you may have had the near equivalent of a four cylinder motor, since one entire bank of cylinders was having trouble getting air out, which leads to even more trouble getting air in, which can render that bank near useless. Just my $.02
I don't even know what my Z runs, there's no tracks anywhere near here, and between work and school, I hardly get a day off. And when I do, I'm so exhausted that I tend to sleep late rather than drive half way across NC to get to a track.
