Default Me vs. Evo

Raced an Evo today. From what I saw he had an exhaust. Couldn't tell if he had anything else.

I pull up behind him and I guess he realized I had a Camaro. He flashes his lights. I am like what the hell, why not? lol

Pull up next to him. I floor it, he follows. Pull away and slow down once I'm at a "decent" speed. He then goes past me as I slow down, looking at the car. It turns out this is the guy at school that just got this thing. Pretty nice car actually. I wave and turn off.

I guess I did pretty good for driving a M6 for not to long. If I raced him from a dig I would get owned. Can't launch the car yet.

good kill, get that launch down and run him from a dig, he probably can't launch the evo either.

He has driven a manual car for a lot longer than I have.

Rolls are better for me. LOL

when i had my 98 vette i raced a friend who had an EVO and he was really hyped about it cuz he really likes Ls1 cars etc, i gave him a car head start from a 25 roll and good god by 80 it was over; by 110 or so i swear to you not i had like 2 girls gone wild buses between us. i talked to him right after and all he could do was just laugh, he was just crazy about the whole race, and he was super cool about getin OWNED....ahhhhhh cool guy

Really? A non modded Evo from a dig is not that great of a car. I have wasted a couple of them. I only put 360 to the tire and I run street tires no DR's. The Evo can be made fast like any car but stock or bolt ons they aren't very impressive. It is not hard to launch our cars but you are going to play catch up againest a AWD car. Bring the revs to 1800 and dump the clutch and mash the gas. Mine hooks fine doing that with the street tires as long as they are warm and the temp is over 70 degrees.

I see 3-5 Evo's a day around here.. they're ugly as **** and every damn one of them wants to race me. With premium at 4.11/gallon here, they better at least sound very modified and offer some $$ up for a run, or it's not even worth my time and gas.

Exactly, pretty much just got the car. Have drove it for almost a week now.

Want to race him bad. Hopefully this week.
