depends what type of race....

i have video of me racing a modded wrx that i didnt catch up to till almost 1/4 mile (bald f1's)

I have another video of me putting endless amounts of cars on it from a 35 punch

It will get you out of the whole if youre on stock tires.

Me neither. I said 103 'cause that's what I trapped at. I might have been the slowest one ever. I've seen some stock ones trap at 107 before. Those were M6's though.

Are you sure they were real Evo 8s??? Cause we all know that some people love to stick decals, ground effects, spoilers, etc. on their cars and pretend to be something they aren't. From what I've read and heard the Evo 8 just came out in Europe and hasn't made it here yet I could be wrong though. Not to insult those that like to change the image of their cars or anything. A friend of mine made his 3.8L stang look like an S281 Saleen and I didn't mind the way it looked, it's just that looks can be deceiving.

Hmm I might have been wrong about this not being released yet sorry I have trouble following the import world. Sorry again hehe here's a link to stuff about the car if anyone cares. http://www.sportcompactcarweb.com/fe...303scc_lancer/ it appears the 1/4 was 13.5 @ 103mph which isn't bad for a 4cyl too bad the car looks like crap and wasn't a product of "the General". I probably just feel this way cause I have pride in America and won't buy rice. I wouldn't get one or worry about them.

I was hoping to racing this weekend, but guess what? Due to sucky weather <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> I can't! It's raining and it doesn't look like it's going to stop for the weekend, oh well. Maybe next week most definitely. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Maybe I see some imports <img border="0" alt="[barf]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_barf.gif" /> there and play with'em since they're easy prey. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
