My friend in his stock Evo knows this chick w/ an '03 GT 5-speed, who just happened to be out last night. He calls her up to see if she wants to race, and it's a go. So they go out of town and get two races in: from a 30 roll, GT pulls about 5 cars to 100, then they let out. Then they go from a dig, and the GT takes him out of the hole, and keeps pulling. Has him by about 6 cars at 90ish. We go back into town and talk, and she says her car is completely stock. She wouldn't pop the hood for us, though. It was a good kill(s), but something doesn't sound right. Anyways, since I'm always postin races w' other imports, thought you might enjoy hearing an Evo lose to a Stang.....[&:]

 

thats terrible.

 

I bet she wasn't running stock unless she was an excellent driver and the Evo driver didn't know how to drive. I can't keep up with Evos in the 1/4 mile, they run about 5 or 6 tenths quicker then my Cobra and I have 60 more horsepower than a new edge GT. Just IMO

 

Evo's on average run 13.5's stock with an average driver. the 99 cobra runs a 13.8 with an average driver. thats not a 6 second difference... driver mod maybe?

 

In higher elevation fi engines tend to run closer to their sea level performance if that makes any sense. In Denver I run a 15.3 at 94 mph and I was behind an Evo that appeared to be stock that ran a 14.7 at 92mph the difference could have just been the 60 ft time mine was an abysmal 2.5. Though it could be the driver mod I don't yet know how to drive it to it's limits.

 

dang, i'd hate racing in denver. looks like both cars were losing about 1.5 seconds in the quarter.

 

wow thats pretty bad that the gt beat him from a dig, even if it was supercharged

 

Evo driver probly just sucked. I raced an Evo VII on tuesday and won by about 4 cars. Doesnt really count as a kill if all you beat is the driver.

 

where do you live that you saw an evo 7?

 

it had to be modified. no way a stock gt could take an evo from a dig
