Default Evo..Should I?

Okay,theres anEvo that i see every morning on my way back from the gym. Its always going my way, and its on a bypass-like road and the speed limit is 70. There are several lights scattered along the way, so my question is, should I race him? I want to see what they have, but I also want to know what to expect. In your opinion, could I get him, or will I get ate? My mods are below...

if you can hook up you should be able to pull him in after 50 60 feet. those things launch like a bat out of h**l

even if you hook well, those things have awesome launching capabilites. with only those mods, if he gets a good launch, your toast.<IMG src=smileys/smiley11.gif border="0">

My best friend has an evo.. their are very good launchin cars but also very hard to launch.. they r also not a top end car .. so if he gets u off the line by the en of third u should be next to him or you could be in front of him. if u dont race him from a dig u should pull.. i have a 03 cobra with I/H/E and a 100 shot and i rape them <IMG src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0">but try him from a roll, if not better get a good launch... and another thing.. is he stock??

So you're saying that with all those mods his car still can't break into the 13's? He should win against a stock Evo, he will get eat up outta the hole but should catch up by 50 or so. Evo's are low 14 cars and this guys stang should beat him, if not he wasted a lot of money on pointless mods.

I wouldn't say he wasted his money on pointless mods, but what I would say is that those mods would be more worthwhile if there was more done to the engine. Either way I'd say it'd be close until speeds got silly. small displacement AWD cars aren't in their element above 100. (not from the factory anyway)

evos are hard cars to drive. If the dude never takes it to the track and doesnt know how to make it go you will destroy him. I have seen them in the 15's. They have to be launched at a high rpm so if hes idleing you know you got him. lol
