raced a extremely loud EVO, and i got smoke... but happy ending

[Brabusx2]

well i was driving home today, going 70MPH which is really normal, then an slammed EVO with loud LOUD supercharger whine pull right next to me, gave me couple honks, i ignored it. He rev his engine loud, i ignored it. then he cut in front of me, gimme some brake check then i think might as well go i flash him high beam and off we go, i sped up to 90MPH and my radar pop Ka Ka Ka Ka....///// then i slow down back to 70 and the evo smoke me... even tho when the time when i tried to speed up from 70-90 the evo made me look stand still...

then less than a min later.. 2 cops car light flash and the same evo stopped on my right side...



enjoy

[Ar878]

lmao!

[TeflonG35]

Racing from those speeds don't really mean much. Too many variables. Have to be from a stop. I'm not condoning street racing. I'm just saying. Evos are nothing to joke about. They are quick bastards. I doubt it was supercharged though. A turbo is more affective on 4 bangers. Specially when they come from the factory with a turbo.

[BrandAidDesignG35]

Yeah, the G is too heavy to keep up at higher speeds... Off the line may be a different story...

LOL about the cops though... thats why I avoid street racing....

[TeflonG35]

Yeah. I rarely go over 5 mph over the speed limit. Tickets and points are too expensive.

[Tampa G35 Sedan 6MT]

Yea the evos are fast but they are still

If I was going to get a car like that it would be a WRX STI

The differences between STIs and EVOs are trivial. The STI even Uses some Mitsubishi parts. They run neck and neck with each other. They are both superb cars. I wouldn't mind to own either.

Brandaid:

Wait until you add a testpipe to a G, and with many more mods, and stay up on the high revs and you will be surprised how agile and fast the G really is.

Two days ago, by accident, i went at it with a modified Mustang, and beleive me, I wasn't even at my max yet. I knew if I stepped on it a little, I might make him look bad. So, I slowed down. Though, i wil say that the testpipes do take away torque on take-off. But when the G is moving, its another story altogether.

[Jacko3]

Man, you are lucky. I still don't know why everyone wants to take on a G.

I have test pipes and I don't see how it took away from torque. All I felt was more power.

[BrandAidDesignG35]

A little less power during launch may be a good thing, last week I went to the track and I had really poor 0-60ft times, I was spinning like crazy off the line, but I do feel the added power in the upper RPM due to the blox spacer and intake system.

I want HFC, but I'm too broke to dream right now

[TeflonG35]

If all goes well I will be going to the track on friday. Hope I break 13's with this cool weather. My last best was 14.4 in the middle of summer with my old tires and without the test pipes. We will see.

[Jacko3]

Before test pipes, my wheels would spin like crazy on take off---made me loose precious seconds. After test pipes, wheels hardly spin at all---thats partly a result of some torque gone. And i actually like it since it allows me to take off more quickly---probabaly saves me some rubber on my tires.

[TeflonG35]

It made my tires chirp going into second during the sumer. Maybe we just have different mods.

+1 everything he said

Me vs STI

Again

STI vs WRX

Vs Rallyart 14.5 is due to DA

VS Legacy GT

Ahhhh....Don't you just love happy endings! Glad to see the punk got nailed

[kmckis1029]

man i can wait til get to the track! after i install my engine damper i'm going to the track! i got to order it first lol

Joe:

That STi is fast like heck. I think the STI and the EVO enjoy a disproportionate power to weight ratio. If they where the size and weight of a G, they would be eaten like Lemon Cake by the G.

Stock for stock a 07 G sedan can beat a EVO or STI, trouble is finding a stock EVO or STI

The COBB tuner does magical things in the subaru world...

[TeflonG35]

I'm a fan of the Legacy GT. I think it's sexy. I don't know why.

[joe603]

I like the older WRXs'...the new body style just doesn't do it for me. The new lancer evo is OK...but still to ricer-boy.

A few of my friends have tricked out WRXs' and they are extremely fast!!!

[Vista Sucks!]

haha nice story. hopefully you can burn an evo the next time.

[kmckis1029]

ditto!

[Sentientbydesign]

EVOs come from the factory turboed.

I don't care how much NA mods you make to your G, it won't take on an EVO.

Serious weight reduction would be the only answer.

Sorry dude, Motortrend just called you a liar!

08 Mitsubishi EVO 0-60 5.3 seconds 1/4 mile 13.9 at 99.4 mph3656 lbs 291 hp/300lb torque

07 G35 sedan 0-60 5.3 seconds 1/4 mile 13.9 at 99.9 mph (automatic sport times)3507.6 lbs (journey weight) 306 hp/268lb torque

I have beat 08 Evo's on the street in my barely modified G several times.

(edited to correct year of G couldn't find an 08 sedan review)

[Tampa G35 Sedan 6MT]

nice burn Jeff I am very shocked with this find... I can't wait to see one on the road!

No pun intended SBD

[gwoods]

Don't feel too bad the 07 and older Evos were faster?

2006 did 0-60 in 4.6 seconds and 1/4 mile in 13.4 at 104 mphThey weighed 3300 lbs and made 286 hp and 289 lb of torque

Amazing what 350lbs can do?

I don't think it is that simple. There is more to it. .7 seconds faster but less torque and hp. It must be somewhere else too not just the weight. Probably drivetrain, suspention, awd system maybe different, maybe the tires. Maybe all.

The 08's are the first year for the twin clutch automatic

Find em race em beat em its fun!!! Just make sure its an 08
