I was headed down a HWY with me and my brother with the camaro in the sig when a driver and passenger in an EVO tries to catch up to me. He pulls right next to me and gives me a rev and I rev back and then purge the nitrous. There was too many cars’ on the road at that time so we can’t race. I start to pull into the left turning lane I give a hand gesture to turn around to the driver to go in the other direction that leads to a hwy that is clear on both sides and he does. After we turn around he pulls right next to me and we both start to slow way down (due to cars were up ahead) to like 20 MPH we give three honk’s and then we both punch it at the same time. My Nitto 315's hook I run all the way through first and then I run through second gear, we both shut down due to the cars up ahead. It was kind of hard to tell since I was concentrating on driving but I pull about only two and a half cars on him! (with nitrous!) I give him thumbs up but he does nothing and just looks at me with a fake looking somewhat kind of smile. He made me think that maybe he didn’t like being beat or was still nervous of racing. He then makes another left turn and takes off. The passenger seemed cool though because my brother says he was pointing and nodding at us as we were pulling away. I wish he did not turn around and pull away because I would really like to know what he had.

Holy crap, you sprayed on him and only got 2.5 cars....wow. Watch out, he might go turn that **** up and come back...

Damb! how fast do these Evo's get?

BLKWS.6

So far the record is 968 awhp I think, or something like that, they may have cracked 1K on stock internals by now, I dunno. The motor can handle 30psi no sweat.

NIevo

AMS recently hit 988AWHP on theier drag car. There are many 700+whp cars around which will get you into the 9's. Good race, to bad you couldnt chat with him.

Street Lethal

Think it's time for a ProCharger.

you only ran through first and second gear- pulling 2.5 cars on him in that amount of time is ALOT! basically if you kept going it would've gotten worse for him.

When I said 2.5 cars, I mean't my car space as well.So that would make it more like 1.5 cars behind my rear bumper. Even though, I'm still impressed! especialy since I sprayed him! The next day I went to the dyno just to make shure I didn't loose any power. I actually gained 7 RWHP even with 315's on the back now.

That 968 number was FAR from stock internals....

BLKWS.6

Are you sure? I could swear it was stock internals, but i could be wrong

mpe488

I dunno any car that'll handle 900 awhp with stock internals, thats about 1200at the crank I think.

Only car I know that will get anywhere close to those numbers on stock internals is a Supra. Highest I have seen is 968 whp completely stock. That evo motor is so modified. I think its a stroker too...

BLKWS.6

Well then I guess im wrong, lol. Maybe I got confused and meant BLOCK. But yeah, I digress on the internals. THX I was about to mention the Supra but didnt want to chance screwing myself 2x, lol

putting 2 1/2 cars on him that fast isnt bad at all. wait till you start reaching higher speeds and the carlengths start growing. you did fine.

noah98SS

actually I believe the motor is destroked,stock internals on the motor are forged also

AcE XBOX

stock internals? doubt it. It's not a Supra.

AMS's shop EVO made 988awhp. They have stock displacement (2.0L) however the internals are compeltely forged. The stock EVO bottom end limit varies. People are making 550+whp on the stock motor but longetivity is really the question. Although, the one guy making 558 is still going and its been over a year.

Alright EVO's can be made pretty fast more trap speed that actual 1/4 mile performance even though most EVO owners will spew "We have AWD!!" Most people know that RWD is a much better drag platform.

The fastest EVO IIIX is AMS car which would cost over 30K to replicate it has run 9.41@156mph putting down 826whp. Now the car has 988whp and should trap 164mph ish, but the key is what E.T. The car is all over the place there is no such thing in a high HP AWD as "Dead Hook".

EVO's are great for all around cars. If you want a car that you can go autox, road course, and drag and be fairly competitive in all a EVO is worth looking at.

You can hit 11's with bolts ons under 3K trap 115mph+ and still kick butt on the roadcourse and autox. It's when you try to turn these cars into drag cars that all of the tranny, TC, axle, diff problems start to arise.

You LS1 guys don't have anything to worry about and the guys that are really into drag aren't!

A C5 Z06 can do this just as well, a C6 Z06 can do it right off the showroom floor. Does the latter cost more than new Evos, of course. Are Evos better in the rain and snow (with equal tires to the Vettes), I would hope so!
