so whats the optimal conditions?
and if it wasn't an AWD it wouldnt' be an evo,it is was it is and it runs what it runs.By the way seems there are plenty running high 12's stock since everybody knows that.also I would say its the evo 9 not the 8 that runs it that quick,since there is a diffrence between the 2. I think a 13 is impressive for a factory 4 banger ,but thats just me.

You posted a kill and then said you had a truck, you have no mods listed at first so people thought you were dumb and making it up.
Put ur mods in a sig so people dont have to secound geuss you, I thought it was a BS post.
But then you posted you had heads,cammed etc and a bunch of other mods that makes it a whole diff story now..
I love silverados there nice trucks and look mean...

Then your calling stock Fbodys slow, LS1s do low 13s high 12s stock and so does a evo. So how does that make a evo a slow" car?
I hope you under stand a Fbody with DRs will pretty much launch with a evo, Awd isnt that great and can only 60foot so much.

that stock one here was very strong in the 1/8 mile, then fell off hard the last 1/8. the owner said it was something to do with the factory boost settings. he ran 8.0x @ 85 in the 1/8 with a 1.77 short time. i thought that was DAMN impressive. of course this dude can drive and made MANY passes. he actually needed a little SPIN off the line to keep moving. that car in stock form bogged pretty bad when it hooked hard. he was on snow tires, too, heh.
evos are impressive. those who disagree need to make their way back down to earth.

At the next light, we take off side-by-side and I guess he got a really bad start. All the articles say these things get 0-60 in 4.5 sec. or so. Well, we went through 1st gear together and chirped the wheels from 1st to 2nd shift at exactly the same time.
2-3 he got a fender on me, but not more than that
Then 3-4 shift, I'm out of gears at that point (A4) but we were well into the 90-110 range and he wound up with about a length to length/1.5 on me. He hits the hazards and that's it.
Funny thing, I pulled up beside him and said, "great job, you killed a 1993 4600lb extended cab pickup truck with its windows rolled down!!" - ha ha
So I'm convinced now to get the longtube headers and put the E-Fans on - that should make the next time we meet quite a bit more interesting.

I didn't realize a slight loss to an Evo would hurt so many vagina's on this board no less. Nice truck man!

"Another kid with too much money from Dad"
"Dude, I wish I had that guy's job (and car)"
When you guys take off from the light, they think one or more of a few things:
"Dude, that's fast"
"Dude, why are you driving like a grandma when you have something like that"
"Haha, that guy thought he was fast until I smoked him"
Having said this, some guys in trucks aren't always quick to fess up to what they've got. I mean come on, that's why most guys in Mustang GTs wound up getting killed running against me and how I bate them. Having said that, I did not mean to bate you guys, that's why when asked I gave all the proof I had available (including offering the HP Calc website). Its all about playing with the toys you have and you guys even talk about not admitting to another guy when you have NOS - and that's out on the road, not here at our forum. Some might call that BS - not me since "you run what you brung".
Heck, when I pull up besides someone, they don't ask what kinds of mods I've got - they just think - "Great, another truck with a catback"
I love what BORN2LOSE just posted - that was great!!!

I have a couple questions. Its probably the evo 8's, but whenever I read articles(i know, i know) it puts them mid to high 13's in the 1/4. Also, I am @ the track fairly frequently and they are usually running mid to high 13's. Is it just the evo9 that can run low 13's/high 12's?? Also, what is the difference between an evo8 and an evo9???

I have only seen a couple Evo VIII's run 12.9's and those where the '05's which had a little more power. A '06 IX however can run a high 12 fairly easy and most are trapping 105-107.
The difference has to do with the new Mivec head and a better turbo in the IX. They are only rated a couple horsepower higher but in fact are dynoing as much as 20whp higher.

I give up. 93chevext5.7l I'll be sure to never respond to any of your threads again. I tried to apologize, but it seems you're too upset to except it! So have a nice day!

Drive both an LS1 and an Evo, the LS1 will feel a hell of a lot faster, because it really is.

I dont know why you guys think im tlaking bad about trucks or anything like that, hell im dieing to get my hands on a turbo deisal but there not really cheap and that would be somthing to do in the future...
Im on the forum were most of the LS1 truck guys are on, I almost bit the bullet and sold my dsm for a down payment on a lighting but im not at a good point right now to make payments on anything.

They only run low 13's with a hard launch - if you launch them normally, they will run high 13's. Its not pure power thats getting them down the track in 13 seconds, its the hard AWD luanch that does it. hence the reason VIII's only trap at about 102 MPH.

I have, my freind has a 02 ws6 and he lets me drive it. Turbo cars feel faster because of the sudden rush in boost.
LS1 has a much much smoother power band, please lets not even go any farther because it seems like your looking for a fight or somthing.
