Default EVO (? Mods) vs 01 Z28

I was on my way to Iowa City tonight on I-80 when I came up on a blue Evo rolling along. I passed him up and saw him shoot into the lane right behind me. Game Time.

We roll ahead of traffic and hadno cars in front when I did the 3 honk start from 70mph, I pull right away (bad spot for an evo? not sure) and he falls back to my bumper but holds there for a moment. I shift into 4th and start to walk, he lifts. Appeared to be about a length back and falling when he let off around 115mph. I slowed up and when he rolled up we exchanged thumbs ups. He took an exit near Hoover HWY and I continued on.

I have a Vid but its not very good (i am working on it..haha) I will upload when I return from Iowa City tomorrow.

I posted on the evo forums to see if I can find out what mods he had...I saw exhaust but its hard to know if that was all he had or not.

Oh well...a win is a win...

Nice kill. 70 is kind of a bad spot for an Evo, but considering how well he hung w/ you, sounds like he was mildly modded....

Very good kill. Of all the imports the EVO is about my favorite car.

Stock for stock, I'd say you could take him from a dig. And they arent too good from a roll, granted I raced one from a 45 roll in my auto 01 GT and he only got me by about 2 cars up til 90 or so. Nice kill man.

Nice, I have a 473HP 03 Cobra, raced a 04 EVO w. 420, he wanted to roll it idk why but he kept up pretty good gave me a serious run for my money.

+1, in facts yesterday i had a evo IX MR riding my *** yesterday night, but i know right now it probably would have killed me. I was able to see a bottle in the back doors, that car was brutal.

stock for stock, a well driven Evo SHOULD have an advantage from a dig...he ran 13.1, and a well driven evo should be able to get near that, and thanks to the AWD, I would give him the advantage from a dig on the streets, if its well driven.

^ I concur. An Evo w/ agood driver should leave any LS1 car playing catch up out of the hole....
