    if you have a loud exhaust (not specific), you can pull up next to an evo an if you revv it high the evos ecu will freak because of the extreme sound and cause the car to become undrivable.

    Mexican killed my car

    I set car alarms off all the time, never made an ECU take a shit before. That would be great.

    My life is a
    Ben Stiller movie.

    it's true; but you gotta have like open headers or a MR. Luos combination to do it. But basically the shock of the intense vibration messes with the Evo's computer and it shuts off the car.

    that is impossible... these cars are made for rally... the bumps vibrations ect ect that they go through thecars would shut off with in the first 10 yards or racing... i don't buy it...

    I always thought Mitsubishi's were pieces of shit anyway, if this is true than goddamn....they suck.

    I'm still waiting to see this info from a non camaro source.
