**** that... dont let them set all the rules...

Either run him from a dig and roll and say go home.. Dont let him get his way... And then because the evo is **** from a roll he wants a dig run.. BS
Say we will run one from what you want and then once from what I want... If he isnt a ***** he will do it...

TRUST ME w/ a 150 shot its going to be hard to take you imo... You really need good tires, even at 25 roll... tires are very important...

Well i've got nitto 555R's, but they dont hook for **** in cold weather. And the guy with the supra said he'd go from a 25mph roll like i wanted and then he wanted to go from a 65mph which is fine. And i'll race the evo from a dig. If i can just find a bridge to start on i should be ok, i've got lca relocatin brackets, adjustable lca's, and an adjustable panhard rod going on friday so i outta hook ok if i warm the nitto's up. I say ****'em can't win'em all.

87 octane? they take 93 (or 91-92 in Cali) from the factory??? I don't see why someone would run 87 in a turbo car that requires 91+

Curious as to where you heard this Evo ran a 12.8 stock . That is BS, no way in hell, maybe low 13's, not a 12.8, that would be the fastest stock usdm Evo yet.

Heres my take on this if I'm not too late. Just tell those guys fair is fair, run the supra and evo from a dig, then a roll. Just do both, its only fair. It's just a race for fun, so why not have some fun? Put the 150 jets in and don't play around. You need to seriously be careful with a 150 shot though; I'm sure you'll blow the tires away from a slow roll. Good luck with it. Can't wait to see the video.

Motortrend got a 13.1 out of a stock EVO, I'm sure 12.8 can be had with a good driver and perfect weather. FBodies have a broad range of stock times, from 12.8 - 13.4 usually. (unless you leave the stupid TCS on and run a 13.9! DOH!)

I'm with Tiger!!!!!

Don't you get to set ANY rules here?

Next they'll tell you they also got a snowmobile lined up, but you gotta run him on a frozen lake!

Why is it you have to run against ALL their strengths and your disadvantages?

Ok i didn't get to race him last weekend, my fitting broke off in my tnt nozzle so i couldnt' spray. Those fittings that hold the jet are cheap as ****, but i ordered 4 new 303 stainless steal fittings so i'll race him this coming saturday for sure.

And actually i am down with racing the supra from a roll, why not? We're not going for any money and he said he'd go from 25mph which is more than fine with me. I havn't heard anymore about the EVO.

Too bad your car isn't black. I always thought about switching cars with my friend to let him spank his brother with a MBM WS6. I just think it would be hilarious. Good luck man
