Got my first EVO this morning

[Hurley711]

:yup: NEVER see these cars on the road until today. He got on I-95 expressway here in Philly and immed jumped 3 lanes over to the fast lane. I was 3 cars behind him at this point. So after about a half mile I worked my way up behind and threw 3-4 loud revs with the clutch in to get his attention from behind. He tried to start weaving away from me in traffic and I followed CAUTIOUSLY as there was traffic all around us. Finally it opened up a bit and he jumped over 1 lane doing about 65 and punched it and I jumped over 2 lanes in anticipation of passing him. After shifting into 4th I passed him and took it up to around 110-115 leaving him a few behind. At those speeds my eyes weree on the road and not how many lenghts, but I had him good. At this point he actually slowed off and wouldn't come back up, so I took it all the way down to 50 mph and made him catch up for some more. We ran again.....he floored it and got a full head of steam, I had it at about 60-65 in the upper RPMs of 3rd and when he came up beside me I punched it. He floated to a car or so lead and again after I punched it inot 4th I got him again, this time all the way up to 130. No traffic at this point so I let it loose, it was ugly, he was at least 8-10 behind, he prol let off at some point. We both got off at the same exit and he actually works across the street from me, gave a big thumbs up and head nod to me when he pulled into his lot. Way to start the morning, who needs coffee when you have a LS1:yup:

[Tyler_LS1]

Nice kill!:)

[99blueZ]

nice kill!!! i know what you mean about a great way to start the day. I used to get some good kills on the way to school in the morning.

[Danger731]

nice

[j3ffw19]

seems like a good race,evos that are mild modded can run decent. sound like he might of been stock by how many carlenghts you put on him, non the less good kill.
i lost by 2 carleghts against my brothers ss which has 389rwhp, stock turbo losses its steam up top. good race though.

[j3ffw19]

heres my mods in sig

Those cars don't have anything up top, period. LS1's are awesome on the highway, they will put multiple carlenghts on any Evo stock for stock. With mods, it just gets worse for the Evo.

An Evo would need some serious mods (i.e, lots more boost) in order just to hang with a stock LS1.

[j3ffw19]

ok dude what ever i guess my brothers car is a lt1, you ls1 guys crack me up. i respect ANYTHING that fast, weither its a import or domestic. its a shame you guys cant do the same.

[Hurley711]

Car hit a wall up top for sure. From the looks of his exhaust I would bet he was bone stock, and I know it would be a diff story if we ran from a dig. Still looks like I would have reeled him in eventually though. So you can change that "You Ls1 guys crack me up, it's a shame you guys can't do the same " talk because I didn't do any bashing. I respect anything that goessssssss:yup:

[Wesman]

Who cars how fast it is if it looks like ass, is built like a crap, and sounds like angry bees?? You can make anything fast, that doesn't make it a nice car. Hell, I can strap a weedwacker engine to a scooter and go fast. Is it a respectable vehicle though?? Hell no its not, and I don't think an ugly 4 door economy car with a huge wing and a turbo engine is, either. Especially one with a Mitsubishi badge on the front.

Ricers amaze me, always trying to get respect for their shitty cars.

[MikeSomething]

Wow, all Evo's need are cam's to get rid of their top-end problem.

[tonyjnjz]

wow evo a shitty car???? somone has anger issues..lol....i loove both cars but prefer V8 tourqe and sound...for somone in northern states that wants a yr round sports car evo/sti is the way to go......i just have no problem sporting a winter beater as well..keeeps my baby in mint cond :D ..the evo/sti ..ls1 argument is rediculous.....there both awsome cars for the money and ment for diff things.........ls1 straight line performance/ value ....evo ...all yr driving....quick..and amazing around a track.............end this argument ..they both rock

[tonyjnjz]

lol wesman always has love for anything else other than an ls1.........:hide:

[Wesman]

wow evo a shitty car???? somone has anger issues..lol....i loove both cars but prefer V8 tourqe and sound...for somone in northern states that wants a yr round sports car evo/sti is the way to go......i just have no problem sporting a winter beater as well..keeeps my baby in mint cond :D ..the evo/sti ..ls1 argument is rediculous.....there both awsome cars for the money and ment for diff things.........ls1 straight line performance/ value ....evo ...all yr driving....quick..and amazing around a track.............end this argument ..they both rock


No...Mitsubishis are complete garbage. I've seen those cars break more often than Kias, they are trash. My buddy had a brand new Evo in high school, it was in the shop more than it was on the road. Everything from the turbo to the tranfer case went out on that piece of shit.

Having a car for snow is a pathetic excuse to buy an Evo or STI. Those cars won't go ANYWHERE in the snow or winter weather without a full set of snow tires, and for that price you could just buy a cheap beater and throw some cheap snow tires on it. Totally pointless IMO.

I don't agree that they are both "awesome" - I don't think 4 cylinder 4 door economy cars with huge wings and fart cans are "awesome", for less money you can buy a much nicer vehicle. Ricer love them though, hence the reason they sell so well.

As for "not liking anything other than the LS1", don't put words in my mouth. I like planty of different motors from different manufacturers. I think the Ford Modular engines (SVT Cobra, Lightning, ect.) are awesome, and the Chrysler Hemi is an excellent engine as well, especially in 6.1L SRT form. I just can't stand little riceburning 4 bangers that sound like angry bees and have no torque, deal with it, I don't think thats unreasonable.

[tonyjnjz]

they come with a 5 yr 60k mile warranty???? no need to worry about fixing them for 5 yrs......and i havnt heard reliablitly issues with them as of yet.....only the clutch from idiots that like dropping it from redline.....as far as snow??....yes u need snows.car comes with 180 treadwear summer shoes........that thing must be rediculous with snows all the way around.....wish i had a friend in roch with one so i could drive it thru a foot of snow for fun..........ive had my 4 banger fun already in an acura rsx-s and i left that shit in 2 yrs.......LOVE having a big burbling v8 and i dont intend on going back.......but i do respect many sports cars for what they are...wish GM made somthing awd with an lsx in it......somthing like a 3500lb sporty looking sedan.....somthing like the G6 with 400 horse and all 4 tires spinning.....maybe someday :D

No need to worry about fixing them?? You must not be familiar with Mitsubishi my friend. We're talking about the same company that sends undercover representitives to drag strips, copys VIN numbers of ANY Evo seen at the track (even if its not racing) and puts the VIN numbers into their computer system as "warranty voided". They know their cars can't take the abuse of drag racing, so in order to avoid paying for warranty work, they just void warrantys. They will also void your warranty of they conclude that any damages to the car were caused by abuse. So if you blow your engine, clutch, transmission, transfer case, or any part of the drivetrain, they will claim its "due to abuse" and not cover a penny of the repairs, regardless of what actually caused the issue. My friends Evo blew the transfer case out under normal driving, and Mitsubishi refused to pay for the repairs, even though it wasn't his fault at all. Mitsubishi is probably the worst car company on the market, and they don't stand behind their garbage products.

[tonyjnjz]

WOW.....any evo owners care to commment about mitsu's warranty coverage? thats fuked up

[tonyjnjz]

sounds like the evos drivetrain makes our 10 bolt look like a 9 inch ...lol

[EE1983]

Oh Wesman when are you gonna quit. You sound like such a little bitch when someone mentions something positive about an EVO.

I really wish you'd stop being such a pussy and come race me from a roll, but I know youd be too embarassed to lose so youd rather just trash talk and say IFs.

Ive been drag racing my EVO since it was brand new. How come nothing has broken yet? Mine must be magical.. that would be your reason. Ignortant douche bag.

I also find it funny in almost every thread where you start bashing even fellow LS1/domestic guys (here, LS1tech, SVTforums) think your out of control and a complete moron. If it doesnt hit you then, well damn, I pity you.

[tonyjnjz]

your both in NJ ......hes def callin u out wesman......walk the walk??? lol

[EE1983]

Nah, we already ran through this. His only response was that I wont show up. Pretty f'n lame. Completely pathetic.

[tonyjnjz]

lol..wesmans a pussy.... :hide:

[FantaZGuy28]

Congrats for beating a AWD car on the freeway....I hope that you would rape the car. Now how about you race it from 0-100, I bet it would be a lot closer of a race, thats if you can even get traction off the line. AWD cars are not top end cars like the LS1 so IMO its not really a race if you know you would win. If you have any knowledge about cars AWD then you know AWD sucks at high speeds. For the people who think you need to turn up the boost to go faster your wrong. Evolutions come really rich from the factory just to pass regulations in the U.S. So by that being said, a flash, turbo back exhaust, and manual boost controller you will be between 310-330AWHP. For a car that already weighs between 2 or 3 hundred lbs lighter than a Fbody is then a challenge and worth to post in a kill section if you still beat him.

[Wesman]

lol..wesmans a pussy.... :hide:

And you're a dumbass. So stop wasting space :rolleyes:

[tonyjnjz]

well u took a lot of solid stabs at evos and hes callin u out to race.......and aparently u keep declining......saying u should prolly keep your mouth shut about evos if your not at least willing to put yourself up against one.......i would love to see the video on the site....if i talk about what a piece of crap a car is and somone with one of those cars offers to race....im not backin down

Why don't you actually know what you are talking about before you post?? Why the hell would the car be "running rich" from the factory to pass regulations?? All thats going to do is increase emmissions and fuel consumption, which is not beneficial to anybody. Pushing more boost makes more power, so thats what everyone does. Simple as that.

Way to just make up weight figures as well. A 98 Camaro Z28 weighs 3439lbs, and a 2006 Evo weighs 3285. In case you suck at math (you obviously do), thats a difference of 154lbs, not 2 or 3 hundred pounds.

I love how an Evo can go from 230WHP to 330WHP with just a "flash, turbo back, and boost controller". You neglect to mention that the "flash and boost controller" result in a large increase in boost pressure, which of course it going to make more power. Ricers act like Evos and STIs gain 100WHP just from changing the damn shift knob, its ridiculous.

[Wesman]

Whether a car is faster than mine or not does not determine how good of a car it is. I can take a Geo Metro, throw a turbo on it, and run 12's. Does that make it a good car by any means?? Hell no, and the Evo isn't either. The car is a piece of garbage, regardless of how "fast" it can be made.

So stop trying to call me out, its makes no difference how fast his rice burning piece of shit is, thats all it is and all it will ever be. Mitsubishi is probably going under within the next couple years anyway, Daimler Chrysler didn't dump the whole company because they thought it was doing well...

[tonyjnjz]

the 06 mivec evos actually do gain a significant amount of horsepower quite easily..heres a link to one of the most reputable evo/sti tuners http://www.vishnutuning.com/evoIX_Stage1_v400.htm check it out..its pretty amazing.......im throwin a turbo on the z...lol

[Wesman]

Oh Wesman when are you gonna quit. You sound like such a little bitch when someone mentions something positive about an EVO.

You are the little bitch. Here you are, on an LS1 forum, bitching like a little slut how your POS Mitsubishi is a good car. Why don't you go cry about it, this isn't riceboy.com, Mitsubishis are garbage. I know from first hand experience, and I'm going to call them out as such.

I really wish you'd stop being such a pussy and come race me from a roll, but I know youd be too embarassed to lose so youd rather just trash talk and say IFs.

Yea, sure, call me a pussy. That will make me want to race you in your retarded piece of shit Evo.

See, this is what you don't get - I don't care how fast your Evo is. I don't care what mods you have, how fast it goes, or how shitty it sounds with your sick ass fart can exhaust. I don't care because regardless of how fast is goes, its a still a piece of shit Mitsubishi economy car that looks like shit and doesn't deserve any respect. Like I said above, you can make a any car fast, but that doesn't make it a nice car. So even if your car is faster, I'm still driving a real Muscle car, and you're still driving a piece of shit 4 door Jap econo car with a huge wing and a tacky body kit. Think about that for a while, I know its a lot for you to comprehend.

Ive been drag racing my EVO since it was brand new. How come nothing has broken yet? Mine must be magical.. that would be your reason. Ignortant douche bag.

Wow, so you're one of the lucky ones. You're really proud of that. Have fun when your car is in the junkyard before the odo rolls over 100K miles. They aren't built to last, just face the facts. If they were, Mitsubishi wouldn't have one of the worst quality ratings of any auto manufacturer.

I also find it funny in almost every thread where you start bashing even fellow LS1/domestic guys (here, LS1tech, SVTforums) think your out of control and a complete moron. If it doesnt hit you then, well damn, I pity you.

Yea, I'm the complete moron.

You're the toolbag bragging about your pice of trash Evo on an LS1 forum. Enough said :rolleyes:

Just stop wasting space, I already told you I couldn't give 2 shits less about you or your crappy econo car.

Umm yea thats totally awesome...

$2 Grand in mods to put down 307WHP...which my car puts down with just a lid. So on top of paying 3x more for an Evo than I paid for my LS1, you have to spend 2K on top of that just to break 300WHP. Yea, I'm real impressed :Poke:

Thats a dyno dymanics dyno. Flash only EVO puts down 300-310whp :seesaw:

Look Im bragging again :ughlaugh: If I had enough free time Id just copy and paste all your responses, theyre all identical, its like your a robot just spitting out the same ignorant moronic comments. Sometimes I really do think your not real just because I didnt think a human being could be so simple-minded. You always suprise me though. Thanks! :nana:

[EE1983]

BTW Last time I checked, Mitsu's sales have been going up since January 2006. I know that really kills ya. But Im sure if I post the facts youll just retort with "EVOS SUCK FROM A ROLL, MITSUBISHI QUALITY SUCKS and I DONT CARE HOW FAST YOUR CAR IS"

[tonyjnjz]

LMAO...yeah wesmans a piece of work....i show him the evidence of an 06 evo gaining significant horsepower with minimal mods and his response is nothing less than somthing retarded once again......theres other nice cars out there besides fbodys and vettes wes.....although they are my fav's as well....people are extremly ignorant calling the evo a pos over and over.....guess u never picked up a car mag.....they praise the evo left and right...they actually praised our cars back in the day as well......jsut not to the extent they did with the evo ...sons a bitchs didnt have a clue...performace/bargin...lol

I gotcha. I love all kinds of cars from old school Camaros to EVOs. I just find it hilarious yet disturbing there are people around so thick-headed as this guy, I mean its a tragedy someone can be like that. So stupid and ignorant yet still believe they are making a point even when not one person agrees with them. Im actually clueless in understanding how someone can be that unintelligent. Maybe he's autistic?

My bad, I was misread about the running rich. It is for safety of the engine, safety from blowing the 4G63 engine. When they are rich it allows the engines to last longer since the engine isnt running at 100% full potential.
When the maps are leaned out the car uses up less fuel (better mpg) and makes for power...however, that will cause the engines to (exhaust gas temp) to be hotter. If its leaned out too much then bye bye engine. But then again, if you lean out any engine too much it will blow as well.

A Evo IX can hit 300hp on a really aggressive tune alone...however, no tuner will do this because it's really aggressive and somewhat dangerous. So yes, a evo ix with tbe and mbc can be thrown into 300+hp range. Note that most tuners dont tune that agressively...one tuner I know said that he wouldnt tune a customers car like that because he doesnt want to be held responsible incase something happens to the car and he would have to charge more for that tune (due to it creating more power).

So my math was a little off, thats all you can get me for. And all because the Evo and STI are imported from other countries doesnt mean they are ricers. Sure they might hang out with them doesnt mean that they act like them. That is like saying we(fbody owners/drivers) hang out with Vettes owners but dont act like 50 year old retired bald guys. *And to the 50 year old, bald or going bald guys....no hard feelings to some of you guys that might be 50 but you have the heart of a 20 year old I know because my dad trys to talk trash to me about my car and he says his Porsche>My car*

To end my statement, I would have guessed you would say something stupid like Ricers act like Evos and STIs gain 100WHP just from changing the damn shift knob, its ridiculous. No, I think that you are rediculous and need to retract your previous statements.

my comment wasn't for you buddy

I have had three fbodys a 94z/96ws6/94firehawk, so its not like i don't know anything about them.calling evo's pieces of shit is rediculous since you have probably never heard of rally racing, thats where the evo/sti came from. not just a hoped up lancer, there is more to a evo then you think.
as far as the warrenty goes ANY dealership is going to void the warrenty for abuse or mods.reason mitsubishi got real anal is do to the fact that when the evos came out everybody was lanching the shit out of them and running to the dealership for warrenty work.Any dealership is going to investigate why the cars are breaking easy.

Please dont talk about things you dont know about. EVOs run rich from the factory for one reason, and that is in case 87 octane is used.

Yeah anytime ANY engine is leaned out too much the engine will blow. Common sense.

EVO IXs dont need "really aggressive tunes" to hit 300hp. A regular tune will get just that. The cars are tuned very very conservative from the factory. Of couse no tuner is going to tune a car on the brink of destruction but any normal tune should net 300whp on a stock EVO. My friend Adam's 06 EVO which is bone stock (other than flash) put down 305whp on a local Dynojet. You can get a flash for $400-750 depending where you go.

[Raoul-Duke]

i give a lott credit to evo's but once again u can buy a ls1 to go waayyy faster for thousands less.....and look better
