spanked an evo

Tell me about it, there was a euro trash kid that came into work once and wouldn't shut up about one that made 330 whp.

Either way, I think Evo's are over-rated. I've seen a MODIFIED Evo on the dyno and it only put down 285hp and 240tq. It may have been a questionable dyno but those were still some pretty pathetic numbers from such a talked-up car.

Those numbers sound like there factory rated, except they make much more torque. A flash ONLY will wake them up, and i mean WAKE them up, 50hp+ is the norm, they carry the 4g63 which has more records than any other 4-cylinder out there, and the engine itself is in the 2nd fastest 4-cylinder powered car out there, stock they run low 13's and with boltons (including the stock turbo) they can run hgh 11's. If theres any 4-cylinder you should watch out for, then the EVO is one of them.

well his must have not been tuned right i guess bc he didnt have a chance

[jeffreycastgsx]

Your raced him in the camaro, so of course your gonna beat him.

[o2camaross]

well from what a buddy told me it is tuned and has bolt ons so from your post he should be running high 11s. my car is a mid-low 12 second car, so theoretically if it is tuned correctly he should have beat me.... right?

Never underestimate the power of the tool driving the vehicle.

Well me see, yall raced from roll, right? It all depends on the bolt-ons that it REALLY has, intake, full-exhaust, and a tune=300whp.

[o2camaross]

yea from a 60 roll. anyway whatever. when i catch him from a dig ill let yall know

Evo's dont dyno eye popping big numbers to be fast. I have seen 450-500awhp Evo's run door to door and spank some 600-650rwhp cars from a roll.

I dont understand the logic behind it, but it is so.

[jeffreycastgsx]

Well they aernt the heaviest car in the bunch, but it physically isnt possible for a 450whp to beat a 650whp car unless the higher hp weighs a ton more, BUT being AWD and the abilitiy to always have traction (no need to go home and get the slicks) gives the evo the advantage. Do expect to play catch up from a dig.
