Hello all, i have a 2009 GT that is completely stock from looks to performance. My friend has a 2011 Mitsubishi Lancer EVO, I believe that its all stock besides the wing and some decals. Maybe a little bit of a ricer but whatever. If we were to race who do you think would win? I know my car has a little more power and a lot more torque but those EVO's are pretty quick too. Also, mines a 5 spd and his is automatic. Thanks

Evo would win. AWD on the Evo alone already gives it an advantage.

Keep in mind that you're also comparing a $25k sports car to a $35k purpose built sports sedan.

I'd say if he's stock and your race is anything near a 1/4 mile or more you've got a chance.

The EVO's can run low 13's in the quarter. I'd say i'd be a close call, with him having a slight advantage from a dig.

Ok thanks guys I still think my cars a lot nicer though I'd totally choose mine any day of the week! I'll give it a shot one day maybe

You will not win, don't embarrass yourself and your ride, the stock GT is not that quick, a tune and a cai system makes a big difference, even then he would probably take you.

It depends on how he can drive really.

Their top end pull isnt too impressive with the AWD. The fastest stock evo on dragtimes was 13.2x @ 101.

Fastest S197 was 13.2 @ 104. The mustang will have the better top-end

Don't know why you would say not to embarrass himself. Did you run into a modded one?

Ight I won't then i just dnt know what tune is best for me? Or which intake?

You say automatic EVO.. the MR version has 6 speed paddle shifter. GSR is manual.

They weight less than the mustang GT, 3200lb, 290hp and 300tq. The GT is 200-300 lbs heavier, has 10 more hp and 15 more torque. He has AWD. I think he definitely win. Get an intake and tune and you'll probably barely win with great shifting

I'm just surprised they decided to go with LESS power than the previous EVO's...but they also added all kinds of electronic stuff to improve handling. They'd be insane with another 30-40 hp. But that's why you just turn the boost up!

For the intake I would get a JLT or the C&L. I would get the combo from any of the reputable tuners.
