Stock vs. stock you should take him. He'll take you off the line unless he can't drive but after that you should be ok. Where at in Illinois? I'll line up.

unless he is mild modded, dont get discouraged off the line, hell beat you to about 30-40 then its all you ......you should race to at least to 90 to really see a winner out of this....but in my opinion race for money to 100......and buy an intake with it

If he is stock, you will be ok. Even small mods could = not so good outcome for you.

Check and see what year Evo it is first. If it is an older one, '03-'05, then you should take him, if its a new one it will more then likely come down to driver. Make sure he doesnt have a flash or MBC though. Both are hard to tell and make very big gains. Let us know the outcome too!!

well theres alot of factors to think about here. evos if you dont launch at a high enough rpm they will fall on there face and you will fly by him, if he gets a good launch big deal you should pull around pretty quickly. i think you will take him easily.
