2006 EVO IX RS vs. LS1 Camaro SS Well I've had my EVO IX RS for a little over a month and I've won some races, and lost some. One particular race was against a LS1 Firebird no where near stock that just blew my doors off. So anyways I am not usually the one to initiate a race, but saw a LS1 Camaro SS from what seem to me to be stock. So I decided to egg him on for a little run, since there was very light traffic, a rarity for southern california. So anyways we went from about a 50mph roll to around 120mph and he got me by about a car. Good race, well best race I've been in so far, but I was happy that my EVO held up well to a LS1 Camaro SS. But in all honesty what got me the most was that the Camaro SS wanted to go again, same result except a little closer. Then he wanted to go again, ok, from a 70mph roll, I pulled a little at the start but eventually same result. Had enough, nope, wants to go again, this guy just didn't want to give up. I mean damn you just beat my car three times, your faster. Now my exit is coming up, and this guy follows me, and pulls up next to me at a light. We chat for a second and the guy is like what do you have on your car, I tell him "A drop in air filter", and he is like "Are you sh*tting me, must be something wrong with my car?" So I am like "What do you have done to your car?"
He tells me, "Nothing, bone stock."
I mean I can't get over the look of dissapointment he had in his car. Now this brings me to this mind of thinking, why are some guys so overconfident about their cars, he acts like he was racing a Celica or something.
He tells me, "Nothing, bone stock."

Honestly some of you need to wake up and realize that Imports are not all slow. I mean why do you guys hate on Imports so much anyways, are you guys so insecure about your vehicle purchases? I don't know maybe he raced a EVO before and won by a large margin, but just like any car the EVO community is plagued with some bad drivers, but sh*t I know how to race from a roll, not that hard. I'm wondering if this member is on this website, maybe he can chime in.

I am starting to think that maybe he thought I was just a base Lancer with an EVO body kit, my car doesn't come with the Stock Spoiler that many have grown accustomed to seeing on EVOs. In that case I would think there was something wrong with my car too.

The LS1 F-body a bit lower than the EVO low 13, but low thirteen second cars nonetheless. The difference is not THAT much.... Two car difference with the SS winning sounds about right to me.

Every fbody isnt a low 13 second car, granted they have the potential. But DA plays a huge role in the 1/4 game. Mine ran 13.6 stock. And ive heard of others runing 14flats. And then you have your 12.8s down in florida. Good power but you can plan a pretty picknik but you caint predict the DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

If he was that disappointed in his car, maybe he should sell it. 
When he said that to you, you should have told him something... I dunno, **** YOU, maybe?
"Are you sh*tting me, must be something wrong with my car?"

Sounds to me like the guy you raced was cocky and ignorant about EVOS...not insecure.

Why would the reason, assuming he's not a member, for the LS1 owner's lack of membership to this forum be found in our viewing of some vid concerning some "nasty 600 WHP EVO?"

If the guy in the Camaro saw the videos of the 600 HP EVO he would have realized the EVO IS a worthy opponent..

Not sure on what my car puts down, but most IXs are putting down anywhere from 250-275WHP down stock on pump gas, so hopefully somewhere in there. My car does trap in the 104mph range which I guess is kind of slow for a IX because others trap 105-106mph, but most of those are on 93 octane, not 91 craptane we use in California.
