Default evo 8 got ripped up

okay, i washed my car today and was out cruising to the gene snyder when I passed a yellow evo. I revved it a little and the guy must've done a u turn to catch up to me. he pulls up next to me and he has a friend in the car. I asked him what he had done to it and he said, and I quote, "about $35k in mods. twin turbo, hks..." and said some other stuff, then revved it and it sounded good. I was like, wtf twin turbo i-4? yeah, we'll see. I told him that he would probably blow my doors off, especially from a dig.

We got on the greenbelt highway and hit a light, his friend says, "we'll give you a two car head start to race from this light." I was like wtf okay. before I even got a chance to go the guy guns it, I almost stalled my car out because I was pumping my clutch in neutral. Long story short, I caught him by 2nd gear and he was like 3 busses back by top of 4th. I shifted to fifth and let it wind down and started easing on the brakes because there was a car in front of me. we stopped at another light and I asked him, "what happened?" all he could say was, "dude that ************ is bad ***!" and his friend wouldnt even look at me.

wtf is wrong with the world. the guy is either retarded and got ripped off on the car, or he seriously thought I would lose that badly to a stock evo. I really thought they were quicker than that though. - Ben

I would never talk my car up because if I happen to lose I would look like an *******. Always better to win and wipe the smug look off the face of the other racer/ricer. It's like people who badge up their cars to make them appear as something they are not. What is the purpose?

Sucks to be him. There is a numb-nuts around here like that. Apperently his S R T 4 was AWD and TT. He used to get called out all the time and bitch out. He now drives a 04 vert. Cobra. Pulley, I/E, tune on M/T's. He's lucky if he can run mid-13's in it. LOL.

I don't get people sometimes. Money or the exaggeration of it does not make of for short comings, be it down stairs or in driving skill.

A near stock/stock evo from anything but a dig shouldn't be any kind of competition... from a dig that damn AWD launch is tough to beat....

Nice kill, I posted a kill on an evo recently with a vid... without that launch it's hard for them to compete.

(Don't get me wrong..i've been waxed by a 400awhp evo...I have a lot of respect for them, just saying in stock form a lot of people let that launch go to their heads)

So basically you cooked some rice, then put some soy sauce on it for added taste.

Were you getting ready to double clutch it instead of granny shifting it too?
