Default 93z28 "evo" kill

Not really an evo. A lancer raliart w/ an evo IX turbo, suspension, airfilter, exhaust. I know the raliart weighs more than 500 pounds less than the evo, and is only 2 wheel drive. anyway first we raced from a 20 roll, i broke loose all the way into second gear till about 50 and i shut down at about 70 with a 3 or 4 car lead. We raced again froma 45, it was much closer, we were almost even until about 65 where i started to pull, i had a bout a car length by 90.

The Lancer Raliart has a completely different motor and also, its only around 300lbs lighter than an EVO. I believe the weight is 2922 while the average EVO is around 3250. (Give or take 100lbs depending on model).

i looked up the factory weight it was 26-2750 compared to the evos 3200. I put evo killer because the kid had an evo xi turbo, and was pretty much calling his car an evo. Quick car though.

Well I dont know where you looked it up but its wrong. Check Mitsubishicars.com, they have the accurate weights. Its a little over 2900lbs and the EVO is around 3250. Also, having an EVO IX turbo still makes it nothing like an EVO regardless.
