With cars that make more lowend torque with either engine power or gears in the rear end, you can have fun all day long at half throttle lighting the tires up, dicking around, etc etc, without ever having to do up to 6k+. If you do not build boost in 4 cylinder cars, they dont go anywhere.

That I think is why he is saying its not a usuable power band for a street car. For a track car, who cares about low end, you are at your upper power band the entire length of the track.

yep, thats what i believe hes gettin across and thats why i agree with him....for fun, drivin a evo < drivin a bolt on m6 lt1/ls1 w 4.10's

Yes and the EVO shown has a huge turbo. The stock turbo and even 20G upgrades are extremely fun to drive and have awesome turbo response. Its whats kept me from upgrading the turbo, is the response and fun to drive factor the car has with the stock turbo.

well rya go to think, I drive a lightning with 4.10 gears as my DD. So it better have some good low end to compete with fun to drive

. My buddies STI with more power and being faster than my L doesnt, have near the low end.

in the snow

It is, but I also like to rip turns sideways and do crazy shit. The only other car I could do that in is the Z06 and even then, it wasnt as fun.

All comes down to preference.

I gotta admit AWD is alot of fun, we have done some damn stupid things before too. EE have you done donuts in your car yet?

**tonyjnjz** · 03-30-2007, 11:05 AM

lol im just teasing man....after previously owning an rsx-s before my current car and an ls1 BEFORE the rsx i couldnt imagine it being more fun to ME ...i can imagine it being more fun to others though.....i just LOVE the v8 rumble and tourqe ..hearing my tires fighting for grip thru 1st and second gear usualy losing it by 3k in first and gettin it back near the top of first as my tires get hot...then shifting to second as my rear end slides all over and the tires are fighting for grip again.......dunno its just to much fun.........i WISH i could afford an evo as a second car though.....DD as well as my winter ride with blizzaks at all 4 corners...id be a maniac in the snow in one of those.... i KNOW an rsx isnt anywhere near an evo....it still made me miss a v8 every day i owned it though

No, I think that kind of stuff is dumb. I just like driving it hard through exit turns and things like that. You can call it "spirited driving" I guess. I took my buddy with me who has the 02 SS H/C and he wanted to get an EVO afterwards, but he did say he loved his V8 still

If I could buy another car right now, it would be a Z06 or a Camaro SS and Id put a 408 in it and be done!

No doubt the Evo's and STI's are loads of fun. Thats why you can't bash them to you have experienced them

Even on this board I'm not afraid to admit that I like Evo's and Sti's. I wouldn't mind having one as a DD. Don't think that's possible right now though since I'm in the finishing stages of doing what he mentioned above.

Theyre just so different and fun in their own ways. Id love to have a huge displacement V8 with ridiculous torque and that V8 rumble, but I also want my EVO still.. Someday!

**cam02ss** · 03-30-2007, 12:07 PM

eh to each his own as long as you're having fun.

lol like me running 4tun?

If you want to run another evo and video tape it and you're local to central pa (your profile says pa) you can run me, from a roll or dig doesnt matter either, would be a good time.

sorry but pickin on stock LS1's aint gonna cut it. not trying to be a dick but if that car has 500 hp it won't be much of a race. being that my car won't even be started up until next week, gotta get it broken in before the dynotune, etc. i shouldn't be talking....bench racing. i couldn't resist though...damn little devil on my shoulder

I dont think he challenged the stocK LS1, he just volunteered

challenged wasnt the word he used, i believe it was "pickin on stock LS1s". It wasnt a challenege because obviously he'd beat me, volunteered as in i can get a video of getting beat by an evo? yea pickin on the stock LS1 sounds about right. its easy as shit for import guys to talk big to people like me who are stock... run with the big boys and you gain respect, not talkin big to girls in stock cars like mine.
