Evo kills himself
Evo kills himself Yesterday I had a yellow Evo weaving through traffic trying to get up next to me (I assume, maybe he's just living his life 1/4 mile at a time) when he caught up finally he goosed it and let off next to me, I pointed ahead and put it in 1st around 40mph to let him know I was ready. He took off and pulled about a half car, I hammered it right away made it back up and pulled about 4 cars on him up to 90mph, and slammed on my brakes because there was a light turning yellow in front of us.
I rolled down my window to see what else he had besides exhaust and stickers, but he gangsta leaned with his head foward and sat there, must not have wanted to chat, I even would have told him how mAd tYte his car was!
I revved up to about 2500 and heard bwabwabwabaabbabababwabababa of him bouncing off the rev limiter
Light turned green, I spun a bit and started pumping the gas pedal trying to get some traction, and he is no where to be found. I let off and looked to see if he was in my blind spot, nope he's in the middle of the intersection with hazards on and white smoke coming from his hood
I hope when he can get his parts overnighted from japan!

Driver error perhaps... the 40 in first is possible i think, and if he is "heavily modded" as you think he "must" be then he is quite possibly stretching his gears out longer Via higher redline ... but either way who knows what B.W. has done to his car... judging by his title hes at least into the 12's.
Wow sucks for that evo driver, I hate when people won't look at you after a race... childish really.

I agree about the driver, people need to just admit defeat and be a man sometimes.
Haha, I just watched that movie last night for the first time since it came out and I noticed so many things I didn't before.
I love the "10 second" car that cant hit 140 without nitrous and 80,000 under the hood. Or the "fried" piston rings from spraying too much, 100,000 under the hood of an S2000 and only running 10's. That movie was misleading in way too many ways.

40 in first?!?!? uhh ok that doesnt sound right...and 40-90 is a good powerband for a evo...but hey if you got him then hey cool...but your story is all fucked up...you know if you put it in 1st gear at 40 you would have shot the tach way up and would of had no power band...im not sure on a camaro but still seems off a little

It's been a while since I've changed out to a 12 bolt and 4.11's but mine's an M6 and with my stock 342's, I remember being able to get up to 40 in 1st. It's a bit high of an rpm but it is possible. 40 mph is more like "no man's land" since 1st is too low of a gear and 2nd would have you at too low of an rpm. As far as pulling that much on an Evo with a 12-sec car from just 40 to 90...sounds suspect.

Verdad Gallardo Agreed it is VERY VERY HIGH in the gear, but it is possible and if he has a cam he might be spinning really high and making a lot of power up there. Especially if he has stock gears, we just need to know what the hell is done to his car hahaha.
The T56 has pretty long gearing.

because as MeentSS02 just stated there is still another 10 mph to row through, and with an aftermarket cam that is quite possibly some sweet pullin' rpm time. It also puts you in a very favorable power band in 2nd gear.

It's very important to know the rpm range for each gear from 1st to 3rd. I learned the hard way when I raced the infamous John Jett (Predator 03 Cobra). We were at a 35 mph roll and I was in 1st gear with 4.11's and 26 ET's and when I hammered it, I hit the 6,700 limiter in about half a second. Didn't help that I spun. If any of you have seen the Predator 03 Cobra/Viper/Formula video, you'll see how quickly those gears can run out when you're rolling in the wrong gear.
