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

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.

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.

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!

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?
