I don't want to do anything to the motor itself due to losing warranty. My uncle is director of service and I would get a lecture.lol.. I do have 251.56 horses touching the ground, and 289 pounds of torque as well. And, I can drive, so I think I will give it a try. I will post the results of the race as soon as it happens. Thanks guys..</P>

Sorry to say but EVO's are very capable of better then a low 14, unless your a horrible driver. Ive been to the track and have seen them usually hit mid to high 13's. Check this site out http://www.sportcompactcarweb.com/features/0307scc_stievo/.</P>
It compares the STI and EVO. Towards the bottom of the page it shows you the specs and performance numbers.</P><edited><editID>chrisle7220</editID><editDate>37952.4933217593</editDate></edited>

Evo's have a about 175 or 185 hp. No doubt about it, they do cut ***. But if u shifty like a hoss, torque should help u in first. I have no idea wut happens after that, but if u should race, depend on 1st! <IMG src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0"></P>

you guys are out of your minds..... an idiot driving an evo 8 will run like a 13.2, nevermind if whoever is driving knows what they are doing... and they also have top end out the A$$, usually they run the same time i do when im on slicks... and theyre stock.... u will be embarassed, ive done highway pulls on them too, they kill you

Evos have a s**t load more hp than 175 or 185...try 271. His 1st gear will do nothing against an evo. Its in the higher gears and rpms where he will have a chance at pulling on it. </P>

ppl ppl...some Evos hit low 13's... STOCK</P>
with a S-AFC and Boost Controller and Exhaust they can hit low 12's (thats aoubt $2k in mods for the expensive stuff)</P>
And a AWD car hard to launch??? lmao u all make it sound like its a Lingenfelter TT Viper with traning wheels as rear wheels...come on now.</P>
and yeah they got a lot more ponies than 175-185, like the man said 271...</P>

Evo..Should I?
Hey, I am bringing this thread back to life only due to matching up with an EVO. I was out in town looking for races, and saw an evo up ahead. I caught up with him and had my cousin roll down his window to grab his attention(my cousin is 198pounds, but couldn't just make him get out so I could race). Anyways, he agreed to go from a dig, so I lead him to a nice straight road just outside of town. We did a three honk start. The guy did not bring the engine up to high rpms, more like 1500 or something.... Dumba$$. I launched at around 2000, came out slipping a bit, but still pulling hard. I got him from the start and he was at my right rear fender.He could not pull on me, nor could I pull on him until aboutthe beginning of my third gear and Iinched up just a tad.We ran up to about 80, and were forced tostop by oncoming traffic. We stopped and chatted for at least 30 minutes. I didn'trealize those thingswere so nice.He said heCOULD HAVE launched harder with more rpms, but hey,a win is a win... And yes, its possible he wasn't the best driver in the world...
