Prove it jackass
I've shown you time and time again, but it would seem that you being the armchair drag racer that you are can prove everything ever written to be wrong. I couldn't care less about your J-Spec EVO four door family turd. I and quite a few other people on here seem to have the facts about the Anerican muscle cars, those same facts seem to elude you even when there in your face, unless of course you can't read. In whitch case I'm sorry for you, go back to school, and don't skip all your classes this time. We're talking about 60's performance beating you EVO, and it does do it. But since my balls have droped and I'm no longer a little sniveling brat who can't admit things even when the facts are right in my face I do know this to be true.

Thumbs down !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!

just stop this gay fucking argument, and i have not had the pleasure to drive or ride in a old 60's or 70's muscle car, but muscle is power so any powerfull car could be a muscle car, and muscle car does NOT mean american, if you were to say American Muscle, then of course it would be. Thats probibly why on the speed channel the show is called American Muscle Car not Muscle Car.

Even after 30 years advancement in technology it take gobs of boost to be able to beat SOME muscle cars. How about, lets boost some muscle cars! Even 8 PSI is going to make some muscle cars break into the 9's. The EVO is already boosting 17, and the STI is something over 20.

BTW, I do like 4-bangers. I own one. I just hate people that think their 4-banger is better than muscle cars. And it sends chills through my spine when Hot Rod Magazine called the STI a ''Modern Musclecar''. Morons. It's like they forgot the good old days, when there was gobs of torque at 2000 RPM instead of 8000 RPM chain-saw 4-bangers.

A comparison
This is you beloved EVO specs QM based on the car weighing 2560 #

Horsepower Results - 1/4 Mile Method
Your EVO weighs about 2560 pounds and can complete a 1/4 mile in about 13.4 seconds. That means that you've got about 210.29 HP at the wheels, and about 273.37 HP at the flywheel.

This would be a 1969 Camaro based on it weighing 3450 #

Horsepower Results - 1/4 Mile Method
Your Camaro weighs about 3450 pounds and can complete a 1/4 mile in about 13.4 seconds. That means that you've got about 283.40 HP at the wheels, and about 368.41 HP at the flywheel.

with the Camaro we would have to make 95.04 More hp at the fly wheel to get the same result, and 73.11 more hp at the wheels to get the same result. But it's easy to wring another 100 hp out of all those cubes.

Only Americans built muscle cars

This is why thay call them American muscle cars, nobody ever said that just any knind of car with a little power could be a muscle cars. It's a lot of different things that make it a muscle car, the first and foremost, it's built in America, it sounds like satan himself when it pulls up, you can hear it coming for blocks away, and it doedn't sound like a beefed up lawn moer. A muscle car makes you fell like nobody can touch you when your behind the wheel, you don't just hang that name on any car that you desire to.

Now the fast and the furious evo was built for a show car not a drag car.
It has a full sound system and all the little shit that u wouldnt need for a drag car. and it is not tuned for the 1/4.
