Default the new evo is out

Has anyone ran into the new evo yet. I did in the 91 but he didnt want to run. Do u think we can still take them in a roll race, I read in a magazine that they do 1/4 mile in 12.5.

Thats always going to be with a "perfect" driver in "perfect" conditions. I think we could take them. I've taken an Evo 8 before...

Ive taken those too but these are rated to do 12.5's stock, they put in different pulley on the turbo and were done. Its time to put in the bottle

Yeah but like I said, 12.5 is with a perfect driver under perfect conditions. Put your "average", and I say that lightly, average person in that car, and I bet you won't see a 12.5 stock, IMO though, IMO...lol

Which magazine got the 12.5???

Road and Track got 13.6 @100.9 and like allblacksrt4 said, C&D has them at 13.4. I think you're off by a second Luis. You must be looking at their 0-100 time.
