Re: I can now claim 500whp!

Naw, still running the stock rear-end. Hoping that can make it 8-9 months until I can afford a Moser 12 bolt. T56 transmission should be good with the power it will make.

It's not luck, it's called Debt.


You could have it too, both the Evo and the Debt.


Speed is directly proportionate to how much you're willing to spend. In other words, How fast can you afford to go?

It's sad but so true.

Romping on the gas pedal helps to alleviate some of the stress though.

It sad but true, if you want to run fast right now with out to many mods, you need $30,000 for a new car that runs 13.5 to 13.0 so get you credit rating up for your new debt or beg mommy or daddy.

Also, The Mach 1 loves to play with the EVO's. You have a sweet car, you are blessed so don't mess it up with to many high clutch drops.

Tell me this one thing, if the Neon SRT-4 Stage 2 runs 13.3 to 12.8 with slicks, how would the EVO be more fun when they run 13.5's with a good driver stock. I race both of these cars often and they are both a lot of fun, but the price, speed, durabilty of the (SRT-4 Stage 2) makes it a good sleeper to kill those with little respect for all cars. So what made you change your mind to move to the EVO. Your SRT-4 would take it in a 1/4 mile race with the high rpm clutch drop in the EVO. My info comes from the street racing that I do, but can be proved with articles on the web. You had a sweet car and now got another one, what make one better to you and why?

Re: I can now claim 500whp!

I'd say the EVO would be a helluva alot more fun to drive due to it's fantastic handling. Nothing beats taking sharp curves and whatnot at almost twice the recommended speed!

Re: I can now claim 500whp!

See, I am the oposite here. I think that EVO looks like shit, and is butt ass ugly. I like the way the SRT-4 looks, and in the pict, I think it looks way better than the EVO. I think their styling has gone to hell.

We are on a STREET RACING forum, not ROAD RACING or COURSE RACING. Therefore, taking sharp curves and what not at almost twice the recommended speed more and likely doesn’t applies or come to mind as much as it would to autocross driving people. And if there is any fool who is trying to probe the performance envelope of the EVO’s handling on the street should be killed before he kills other people driving recklessly. By the way, I also can take sharp curves in a Mach 1, I powerslide it but some people call it drifting. However, it’s just not safe on US streets because traffic and little rocks are most likely on the edge of the road.

My info comes from the street racing that I do, but can be proved with articles on the web. You had a sweet car and now got another one, what make one better to you and why?

simple theres more to a car then just 1/4 mile you know. the EVO will slaughter it in the handling, and will out brake it like nothing. my friends EVO can take these sharp high speed corners at over 140mph along with my friends STi without even the tires squeeling. my modded suspension 240sx can only push it to 110- 120mph tops. plus they stop waaaay better then me, and i have the 4 piston 300ZX twin turbo brake conversion for my car.

my friends EVO left a BPU supra TT for dead on that same highway from the twistys. on the straight he was no match, but he burned him on on the corners.

drive an EVO and you'll see what i mean. drive a SRT-4 and you'll notice that Hi HP and a FWD doesnt' mix very well. esp in 1st and 2nd gear where you gotta always wrestle the steering wheel fighting wheel hop.

you make it sound like it takes really hard testing to immediately notice the handling difference between an average handling car to a really good handling car. well my car handles good, and after hopin into an evo, you can imediately tell the EVO handles much much better.

we developed something close to its limit by slowly adding more and more speed. generally you can go 2X the speed limit on an offramp + 10 mph. i'm not kidding. my friend has blitz down a 360 degree freeway off ramp at 50mph without even the tires squeeling. my 240 can only do it at 40mph tops.

also we don't race on off/on ramps either. we just enjoy the car for its pure responsiveness, and amazing grip. they come with near R- compund tires stock. they are freaking unbelievable. my friend have own his over for almost 2 years, so again when we test this car, its always by slowly adding speed until we felt its no longer safe to add more. the freak car can fly down the highway at over 130mph then see the off ramp, then slam on his brakes down to 130mph without even provoking that ABS to come on. now that is insane. and he does it in such a short distance.

do yourself a favor and find a friend or someone you know with a EVO either drive the car yourself, or have them take you for a spin, and you'll see what i mean.
