Took one from a roll the other night, but not by much, about one car.

In other words, you don't have a chance. As I know.. BlackSnake has a quick car

Wish you the best of luck!!! You're going to need it. AWD out of the hole is nothing to mess with. you say you can spray up to 175? I would use it if I were you.

Those are very quick cars, especially when modded out. We have an Evo running bottom 7s/high 6s in the 1/8th at my local track. [&:]

No, mid to high 13s. I raced an EVO with an intake from a 35 roll and we were dead even up to 100mph where we shut down. He pulled an easy 2 cars on me off the line though and held me off till we shut down. You should have no problem with a stock EVO/STi.

I wouldnt even go for it... unless its a race for fun. There is also a group of Evo's & STI's around my area and I hate to say it, but they basically will hand anybody their *** on a silver platter. Most of them have thousands and thousands into their car though, they all have rich parents lol

But watch out for the launch! Thats what will kill you the worst. My boy has a STI (TONS of work done), but I was in my car right next to him and watched him launch at 5K and catch nothing but traction! They are very quick cars if modded, same thing with Evo's.

Id say it mainly depends how modified they are. If they're stock or close to stock i think you should own them no problem. They are only fast stock if they launch really hard, otherwise i dont find them very impressive...
