Default <bUrP> Just ate my first evo!!

So there i was on the freeway, i look to my rear mirror and i see this evo mr with the spikes on the back roof (dont know if its stock, im guessing not because it had a fart can and racing stickers etc, you know, rice stuff) i turn hazard lights on and he knew it was on... he pulls up next to me and i stomp on it and he never caught up! i felt so sorry for him that i didnt want an easy kill! i barely see these cars so i made the most of it and waited for him to catch up. i coulda killed him easily but i wanted to keep it exciting and just purposely held as much as half a car length to a car length. he was trying so hard... and i was teasing him with **** eating grins! he never lead the way. it was so easy! i was super stoked! still am actually! you guys were right about how they suck on a roll... they really suck. he sucked so bad he just quit and drove like a grandma... oh and get this, my car mods? nothing... BONE STOCK! 100% BONE STOCK!

i'm not sure... i'm not too in touch with evos but, it was lightish blue, it had a little hood scoop, it had those spikes on the roof, it had an "MR" decal. let me know what model you think it is though... i wanna know if its like the lower or higher end of evos.

whats funny is when i asked about evos on this forum, you guys said i can beat them on a roll, i believed it, but i didnt know it was gonna be that EASY... it was a little too EASY... i felt embarrassed for him. my car is 100% bone stock a4 98 t/a straight from the factory w/ 54k on the clock and it is not a ws6 and no ram air... i want a functional ram air hood though.

The "little spikes on the roof" are stock. And yeah, they are fairly weak from a roll (compared to their 1/4 mile performance).

Good Kill....

don't let it get to your head, EVO's are no joke.

Also as far as the MR goes, i think the MR in recent years has been sort of a "stripper" model, and in future years will be a more powerful model, don't quote me on that.

Uhm.. the mr gives it away

The top of the line Evo is the MR, it has more hp and torque than the regular evo, it also has the shark fins on the rear.

Nice Kill. But but do watch out for those EVO's. It was an easy kill now, but could be the other way around the next time you come across one.

But again, nice kill. EVO's are rare in my area. I've been seeing a few of them around the past couple of months though.

Where are these fast EVO's at? I read all about them but they're hard to come by, at least around here.

I've never had a chance to race one on the street yet, stock or otherwise.

I saw a EVO group, about 4 of them and I don't think any of them ran better than a 13.9, could have been that club's first night at the track though, lol.

I saw another one with all kinds of appearance mods doing 12.7's@112

Those are the only EVO's I've seen at the track around here.

These "super fast evos" that everyone always talks about seem to be more in their imagination that in reality.

They'd have you believe that every Evo out there looks stock and runs 11's. The reality is that for every 10 Evos you come accross about 1 will actually be fast and the other 9 will be relatively close to stock.

And from a roll, yes, they are a joke. Its a 235WHP 3300lb box on wheels, what else should you expect. Obviously anthing can change with mods, but thats true for any vehicle.

Nice kill.

the mr is top dog in the evo world. they have the same power, but a 6spd, better suspension, and they are lighter. my buddy has a full bolt on, with boost controler and HKS cams. his car is quick as f*ck right now, after his tune, and some meth, he is looking at low 12's to high 11's. good kill. i think i felt the same after my first race against a bolt mustang GT. good luck and watch out.

well it's not that, i mean, they are such popular cars and all, and people keep talking about them etc. but, i really think they are over rated! just the way people talk about evos, they make it sound like it's THE FASTEST CAR in the world, and i thought it would be a challenge, but no... i easily easily easily dumped him like an ex girlfriend ...and yeah, i Guess i really do hate those cars... i don't know why ...and those impressas
