I just had an incredible 5 days of racing a real race car around Sebring and Daytona. After coming off NASCAR turn 2 WOT in 5th gear and threshold braking/ double clutch downshifting/ trail braking into a high speed 3rd gear chicane, street racing seems like a real petty thing to me now. I don't care who's running what on the street anymore.
By the way, nice death to the post starter! Get that Evo next time.

Enis,
You're right, I think I just lost a few more brain cells.

You guys know the 05 EVO MR has a 6 speed right and all the 06 will get it too? That should give them the gearing to get a little closer stock and when the mods come on I am not to sure they are that much slower than a LS1. It sound like the LS1s are starting to show some age if they are running up against 4 bangers. I will need to see because I might get one for a DD and keep the Iroc for the nice days.

I will need to see because I might get one for a DD and keep the Iroc for the nice days. Of course LS1s are starting to show their age. They're now pretty much defunct, there are no new LS1-powered cars, GM has moved on to the LS2 as it's base performance V-8 now. But who cares? Look at fox body Mustangs. Stock, they're slow as dirt. But how many stock fox bodies do you know of? The LT1 is becoming that way, and in a few more years the LS1 will be the same way.

Unless youre running sticky tires you'll get ripped out of the hole and be forced to play catchup which is NOT a good position to be in in a street race.
