Lancer Evo...

This was at the track tonight. I didn't know it was an EVO that was next to me i actually thought it was a WRX they look kinda similar, plus i'm an idiot at imports. Anyway we get to the starting line after i do my burnout with my BFG DR's. Off the line he got maybe a car length on my before i started reeling him in. 1st was all him, i was like aww shit c'mon hurry up 2nd! hehehe. So i hit second trying to remain calm (yeah right, i wasn't about to get showed up by a damn EVO) and whew! now we're side by side. Powershift 3rd and i start pullin' hard get a bout 1 1/2 car lengths ahead. Powershift 4th gear and i'm wayyyy gone. I got my timeslip and here are our numbers. DR's kick so much ass, i'll never race on street tires again. I did pull off a few 1.9 60's. with 18psi in he BFG's. They make such a difference though seriously i'd suggest these to ANYONE who is having any kind of traction problems.

Evo-----Me

1.8 60'-----2.0 grrrr
8.7 1/8mile-----8.4 here i come :)
ET: [email protected]@111mph yay for me! ;)

Not too shabby :grinyes:
Awd does help on a launch though, you need to practice with the DR's... 2.0 kinda sucks :P

Good run man, those evo's aren't pushovers. I would love to see that GT in action.

yeah i'm still gettin' used to them, kinda figured out how they like to be launched. now the driver just needs to execute :icon16:

i have tons of video i just gotta find someone who knows how to put it on the internet. i don't have the right connectors and program to do it. hehehe i'm gonna try and get together with carnut maybe he can do something. I have "In-car" vidoes and out side videos too. they look sweet. :smokin:

judging from the EVO's 60 ft time. this guy knows how to drive. and his 1/4 mile time and trap speed is pretty dead on. that was a certified kill for a EVO. congrats. but he seems stock though from those speeds.

once again i love your car. i want to see 60ft times like the evo had. keep practicing, we know you can get lower than that.

thanks man, i did pull off a 1.95 60' ft and went [email protected] that was good. Then a 1.99 and went 12.89@111mph. So if i can get a hold of a 1.8 then i'm goin' 12.60's on DR's maybe.

lol thats funny, my 60 ft is so fast compared to my actual ET and MPH. My best 60 FT so far was a 2.068, but my ET was 14.7 and my MPH only 91 MPH

nice race

You did a good job against that lancer, anything all wheel drive is gonna have a hell of a launch, but what matters is who wins. "It doesn't matter if you win by an inch or a mile, a win is a win. Any racer'll tell you that." I can't believe I just said that! :loser:

lol

Agreed, i also think he was stock...but it's not often i get to race such cars. I had already beaten the SRT4 that was there, and for some god awful reason i got friggin' trucks to race, ultra lame. Lets see i beat an Explorer, silverado, slow ass bmw (don't know what model), then a few other stangs and then for my last race is when i went against the Evo.

Good kill. I always had trouble with the clutch in my former Evo. I could cut a 1.9 sec. 60' times like it was going out of style at the track. Unfortunately on the street I could also cut a 1.8 sec. 60', so go figure how I got pissed off and sold it after all the clutch dilemmas ($1,000 roughly for a performance clutch install). They are great cars from a roll. Usually they lose power up top though.

I thought from a dig was the turbo-awd specialty?

ya same here, i thought AWD would KILL from a complete stop and end up losing power down end, and that they werent that good from a roll cuz of the drivetrain loss

ya same here, i thought AWD would KILL from a complete stop ...

They sure do.. as long as you're willing to beat on your car a little.

What the hell did I just type. I meant from a dig. I'm outta it. I gotta stop posting at night.

lol

nice race.

good job pushing that evo and figring it out.

evo guys musta been a good driver in a stock car.
12's is fast for a street car, good jeob.

Dam nice job killing that Evo in your Camaro.

lol eh? i ain't got no slowmaro, i have rustang :)

Nice Kill. Your GT sounds like an amazing machine. LOL. Nice job, great time too. Late...

i think if that Evo had at least 4 simple mods...it would have been a close race. But nice race thogh..
