Kinda OT but I wish Ford had trimmed about 10-12% off this car. Just flat out shrunk it down by that much. Except for the engine ofcourse.

Same here, I would have liked the car to be smaller in overall dimensions and a decent amound lighter... at least bring us down to about 3200 so we're a little closer to the vettes :-P

True... Speaking of which my GF's Sister wants to race me in her evo.. I have no idea what she has done to it tho... at LEAST exhaust and a whole lot of carbon fiber peices... Hood, Trunk, and fenders. Don't know how much weight that is worth.. i'm anticipating a loss tho lol

Quite possibly a loss depending on the year EVO it is. I've heard the EVO 8 is the best to mod. If all you have is essentially a stock car but with a CAI/Tune then I'd have to guess the EVO would win.

But then. It is a more expensive car.

I'm 90% sure it's an Evo 8, she won't tell me what she has done to it lol When we race I will have intake, tune and a/b exhaust.

I think your "seat of the pants dyno" fails you. They are trapping a good 5 mph more then S197 GT's. This is a fact.


PS. Not to be a jerk, but I'm going to be, that KR hood that everyone and their mom is putting on their S197 looks like a big riced out J*w nose stuck on the hood. KR hood FTL.
