Kill - 95 Lancer Evo III vs. 00 ITR

10sec-Hopeful · 09-18-2004, 04:14 AM

Not my kill, but fun and thought you guys might appreciate another story...

My buddy just came to pick me up for this little kegger (football team won, so a few people threw together somethin pretty quick). He just got a 95 Evo III like 2-3 months ago, and already had it pushin near 290 at like 6400 RPMs with a few aftermarket parts. We were right next to a bowling alley, with a cop station like a mile up the road, but his detector was fine, and this 00-01 ITR pulls up right next to us.

He asked if he should go for it cuz the detector wasn't flippin out, so I was like I guess. He revs, kid in the ITR revs back, and at the green they went at it. ITR actually pulled pretty hard through 40, he was dead even with us, but then my buddy said f*** it and pours on the gas. The ITR musta dropped back by like 8-9 cars in a matter of seconds. These Evos are pretty wicked hehe.

Party was alright, not too many people there, but my buddy put like 4-5 shots down and a couple of beers so I got to drive the Evo back. Fun stuff

EDIT : No tickets as well you guys....

Cliff notes:
Buddy picks me up for a partay
00-01 ITR pulls up
ITR pulls hard early, gets shredded later
We go to the party, have some fun

pushing near 290....and while from a roll leaves the teg by 8-9 cars

i'm finding that hard to believe on a number of levels...but i wasn't there...so good kill to ur friend

I thought they came 270 stock? The redline is at like 6250 or 6350 or something. I'm pretty sure the Evo IIIs had that much, not totally, but you can check it out. And yeah, it musta been at least 8 cars, he was way back there. Maybe he was braking, but my buddy just grabbed 3rd and ripped him apart...no bullshit here, I was sitting in the car.

Yea they were 270 stock:
Power : 270 bhp @ 6000 rpm
Torque: 324.5 ft lbs @ 3000 rpm
This information is for a stock 95 Mitsu Evo III, taken from supercars.net. I at first didnt believe the story, but with the stats on paper, it is a bit more believable...
Nice Kill!

I thought they didn't have the Evo 3 here in America? It says in your look-up that you live in Washington. Did your buddy really go to the trouble of importing one?

HighRev87 · 09-18-2004, 11:11 AM

Well I automaticly assumed it was imported...they were not sold here.

nice race and good kill

TatII · 09-18-2004, 02:06 PM

i thought EVO 3's came with only 250hp. and no did were not sold in the states officially.

10sec-Hopeful · 09-18-2004, 02:54 PM

He is a 24 year old lawyer, so I'm assuming so. Said he got it like 2-3 months ago...but I know it is fast. And no, they didn't sell them in the US, so I'm positive he imported it. I'll ask him today.

kman10587 · 09-18-2004, 03:23 PM

Well if he's a lawyer, then he can probably afford it.

RACER D12 · 09-18-2004, 03:46 PM

Also the ITR my have had mods or your friend didnt push the car hard at first.

JoonTae · 09-18-2004, 04:18 PM

Hey can you ask him how much it was to legalize and what he had to do to get it street legal?

10sec-Hopeful · 09-18-2004, 04:51 PM

Will do

JoonTae · 09-18-2004, 05:00 PM

Thanks
Oh andi f it was a ocmpany he took it to legalize. And if he doesn't mind how much it cost him for the total of buyign the car and all?

civicHBsi91 · 09-18-2004, 05:38 PM

ITR pulled low end but got whooped top end? ITR's I would think would be top end car's.

I think he may have thought he won or had enough of the race and let off and then your friend kept getting in it and pulled hard on a car that was no longer racing.

I dont doubt he would beat an ITR but "8" car's is alittle much.
