First race w/ a Evo.

First race w/ a Evo.
I was just leaving the gas station and heading back home and looked up at the rear view mirror i see a blue type projector headlights caught my attention and its coming lil fast. The guy finally pulled next to me and he let off his gas. I guess he wanted me to know he had turbo. Well we wait to get a clear road. As soon as we did i heard him get on so I went after him. By the time I let off i had maybe a 1/2 car length on him. 2nd time we went from a 50 roll and we shut off about 100 and I was about car and a half to 2 cars on him. I gave him the thumbs up and headed back home. I was surpised how fast this car was. I actually give these guys more props than the pony gt. DSMs, STIs, and Evo's always give me close races. Good times even though the wife was yellin in my ear not to do it. But oh well It got the monkey off my back.

good kill, the STI's and EVO's arent hard to beat when they arent very modded. The very heavy modded ones are a lot faster. But then again our cars when modded are monsters.
I usually would rather race an EVO than a stang GT anyway.

Sounds like the Evo had some serious mods to hang with your LS1 from a roll. Stock they don't have ****, hell I've seen stock SRT-4's beat Evos from a roll. For an LS1 it isn't even a race, its just rape.
He probably had full bolt ons and upped the boost by a lot.

ehh... evos can be get really quick. theres a local one around here that only has a bigger turbo, stock longblock. he ran a 11.1 @ 131 with a slipping clutch. everyone says he'll give me a run for my money, i dunno how true that is, but regardless im puttin down 720rwhp untuned, and trapped 141 outa gear. they say hes building the longblock over winter and will "smoke" me next year. (i wont let that happen) so....just something to think about. i think theyre nice cars.
good kill tho :tup:

Its doesnt take serious mods for an Evo to be fast, depending on what you consider serious mods. Personally when I had my Evo I never lost to an SRT 4 from a roll or dig and i had the basic bolt ons + cams, built tranny, lighweight flywheel and reflash.
Its easy to figure if it would beat your SS, how much faster is your Formula compared to your SS, if you were barely pulling the Evo and your Formula pulls your SS pretty good, theirs your answer.

I suppose a Procharger and racing spec T56 would be "light mods" on my LS1 then...

Good kill on the Evo, what do you trap in the 1/4?

To the thread starter good kill, hopefully I can get my hands on an ls1 next race season.

Naaa only in these forum's, maybe I should take it easy on em I was just trying to enlighten him, lol, the way he was trying to enlighten us on how many "serious bolt on's" that evo must have to keep up with a stock ls1

99% of guys dont have a built tranny in the EVO. Hell, 900whp one has a stock tranny. Besides the fact, doing cams in an EVO is a cinch and as I said before nothing like doing a cam in a pushrod motor like the LS motors. Other than that, light mods usually include full exhaust, flash, licp and some other little stuf that doesnt cost much.
