Default 2002 GT vs 2003 Lancer EVO

The other night me and my friend(2002 GT)were bored, so we decided to cruise around town. We then spot an White EVO pulling out of a parking lot. Love the way the headlights look at night on those things. Well anyways we caught up to him, me and my friend looked over at him, and he just suddenly takes off. You could hear the turbo spool up when he took off. We didnt chase after him cause the intersection light was red. So we lined up at the light. We talked to the dude a little bit, complementing him on his new ride. We asked him if he wanted to go, and he said he wasnt sure cause the motor wasnt broken in yet, but he finally agreed. We sat at the light revving our motors, keep in mind my friends stang is stock. When the light turns green we were off. The damn EVO took us off the line by like 1-1.5cars, we slowly creeped up but were behind him the whole time. We shut down at about 100 and we were back by about1 carlength. We drove by him and he gave us the thumbs up. He had his g/f in the car, so there were 2 people in both cars. Cool guy driving an import, but ricers is what i hate. Anyone ever had a chance to run any of these guys?? Im sure a modded GT could take one, but those grocery getter cars are pretty darn quick. Cant believe a 4banger can actually pull a 4dr car. I dont think they got a big aftermarket yet, but once they do make some aftermarket parts, those cars will be sick. Im sure i would have worked him if i drove my ws6!!<edited><editID>chrisle7220</editID><editDate>37922.7513310185</editDate></edited>

There AWD that's why he got such a good start and there really fast. I think about high 13's don't they?

he should have been running closer to 13's. Was the track in bad condition? 4500 would be considered shifting to low.

Remember that most of the foregin market is 4 bangers- either supercharged or turboed.. but God knows i don't support new mustangs and especailly against a EVO stock or not. </P>

Ya, I don't support old Mustangs.</P>


Stock for Stock the Evo is faster, and about 10+ grand more off the showroom floor new. Gears, traction &amp; a 5 speed killer is enough to show one your tail lights.</P>


Ugly *** cars though..</P>
