RE: evo vs. ws6 ta
he runs at PRP, which was my home track for years...i was used to seeing his talon, and a friend of mine has a low 11 second demon. i didnt think much of it when he said "there is some 4 door with a big wing on it staged with me...im going to teach him a lesson about drag racing"..i hadnt realized that the car in question was an evo, and i hadnt realized that it was curt browns evo. i had not seen him run it before, or had not paid attention that it was him, and while my bussy in the demon did beat brown, he had to run a high 10 to beat browns impressive 11.1X...the car didnt appear to have much done, especially with the hood closed.

i think that is his claim to fame..the fastest stock turbo evo...but i dont know if he was running a 2.0 or 2.3...i only know him from the track, and from a few nopi events..i havent seen him or his car for a year or so now.

it'll be a good race. i drove a friends stock 2002 WS6 and wasn't impressed, though my 95 Mustanghad a crap load of mods done to it. I told her it needed some gears in the rear and it would be alot better. i think it will be an interesting race for sure.

I thought my LS1 felt like crap stock too...then it went out and ran 8.7x's with a lid and stock everything else, even on stock rubber. I then had a buddy go out and run 8.4x's with this stock M6 car, only he had DR's on it. His car also felt dog *** slow. I think it's cause they start pulling hard down low, then they don't stop pulling, so it's a false feeling....but idk.

I raced a buddy in his '06 Evo when I only had a lid. I had traction issues through 40 mph, and he left me off the line. I pulled on him and passed him pretty quick though.
Stock for stock, from a stop, Evo wins off the line, loses down the road. From a roll, WS6 wins all around. LS1 makes a lot more torque and gobs of power in the upper powerband. It would take a bad WS6 driverto lose to a good Evo driver.
Stock Evos typically run mid to high 13s, and require mods to get into low 13s. WS6s run mid to low 13s, even high 12s stock.
