Default 01 GT Vs. Evo

So I'm rolling down the local cruising street with a buddy and we come up to a light next to a brand new Evo with dealer tags... a pretty nice looking car. I'm always down for a race, even when I know i'll lose, so when the light goes green I start out like normal but halfway through first lay into it and so does he. It was a pretty good race through 2nd, I had about 1/2 car on him, but as soon as his turbo spooled up I was toast (Plus he had 4 people in the car lol). All in all, a pretty fun race and seemed like a pretty cool guy giving the thumbs up afterwards... This is what cars, streets, and summer nights are all about IMO.

so, his car was new, had 3 or 4 other people with him, you had first kick, and he STILL pulled on you ?? duuuuuude. learn how to shift j/k. seriously tho, respectable loss. those cars are close to FAST stock. modded, theyre sick if the person isnt afraid to actually DRIVE it....

Good death. I raced a stock evo at the track and barely beat him, about a tenth. And I wasn't stock.

The EVO MR's are sweet looking cars especially when they get the Recaro seat upgrades (It's a factory option). I did pull on one hard from a roll from 55 up to 120mph.

I agree with HeadTurningV8. Try turning it into a roll race next time. Our cars stock suck from a roll. So much power loss with AWD plus he had 4 people in the car. I'm really surprised you actually found a stock EVO though. I don't see many of them.

Nice race and have fun!

I would hope so with an LS2. Even my LS1 will drag an Evo down from a roll. The Evo that I beat by only one tenth trapped nearly 4 mph slower than me, 102.62 to my 106.51. His 1/8 mile was better than mine (8.669 @ 82.12 mph vs my 8.725 @ 81.62 mph) but I ran him down at the top of the track.
