I lost to an Evo
I lost to an Evo From a dig, he got me by about a car and half. This is the first time I've lost to a four cylinder. His car has a lot of stuff done to it. It's putting down over 500hp to the tires. AWD helped him a bunch too. My mods are in my sig. O well, you win some, you lose some. Just thought I'd tell somebody.

HE'S making over 500 to the tires on an AWD dyno. I don't know what my car's making, I'm still untuned. I had my ET Streets on and they still spun on the crappy road.

Not trying to hate, good death and all, but he is full of **** on his hp claim. An evo at 500whp would destroy you with your mods bad. My buddy deals with nothing but Evo's and the last one of his had 385whp and destroyed my 12.5 Z28 from a dig. (I was an a4 with a yank 4000stall and MT's so no getting out of the hole wasn't a problem for me.)

theres a two guys around here both on street tires one runs a 12.2 and cuts a 1.64 60 other runs a 12.7 cuts a 1.75.. so yeah, theyre quick off the line for the power.. i beleve both were dynoing around 310-330 at the wheels
good death, sounds like a sick car. i have been hoping to run into one of those EVOs ever since I got this mocking look from the driver of one a few weeks ago who then proceeded to turn off at the next exit. hopefully I won't run into a 500whp one, haha.

you don't need 500whp in an EVO to run a quicker time then you have in your sig, I've done it with around 315 or so with < $500.00 in mods. 1.7x 60' on snow tires, 12.06 @ 113 with just an exhaust and tune.

Yea, and then theres those dumb ***** that make fun of them for "bouncing off the limiter"....if they ONLY knew what the driver was REALLY doing.

yeah, 500hp should make that car run 10's all day long.
