RE: got pulled by an evo
I'm just curious. Where are you some of you getting your weight #'s on the Evo? The lightest one is the RS and the curb weight is 3219. The 9 & MR weight about 3276. This is a big difference between what I'm seeing up above (2850 up to 3086)

Meh. Evos are heavy as ****..they need that horse power to get out of the driveway. None the less, with tunning and mods they can become very fast indeed

RE: got pulled by an evo
Actually that sounds kind of backwards... normaly an AWD car will get you off the line and you catch up closer to the end.. they are at such a disadvantage from a roll with the drivetrain loss.. but damn do they take off like rockets from a dig. My friends WRX, before the rebuild, was a 14 second car.. and it would get me off the line HARD every time we went.. by the 1/8th I was past him again.. but damn.. and I was pulling 1.8 6' times pretty regularly. 
I need another play toy.
