Being Called out by a Evo
Friend who had his 12 second honda just sold it and bought an Evo not a brand new one, but it only has an intake and BOV... I have a SLP Lid, Sub-frame connectors, Exhaust, bellow, and all free mods... should i take him... if so i will video tape it...

yesh you should try... most likely you'll come out on top...just try to avoid racing him from a dig...
I'm mostly stock and I ran a few weeks ago with one...that had intake/exhaust and other stuff... and I beat him once... the other time I messed up and he passed me
It does hurt to try... but MAN... if you video tape it...I WANNA SEE IT!!...

Yeah dude do it, it will be a good race if hes smart he will launch like a mad man then you just need to play catch up, launch good and shift hard if your stick. When i race evos they get me to about 50 then i pass them and by about 110 i have like 4 to 5 cars on them.

Well if he aint gonna launch then its really over, i have a friend with an 03 STI who doesnt launc and when i race him it isnt pretty for him. If you can launch and stay with him or even 1/2 car behind by the time your shifting into second you will be right next to him then after that its done.

Youre going to kill him. Here is the kicker. The intake will make him lose power so he should be SLOWER than a stock one. You'd beat him either way. Stock EVO's (especially 03-04s) are pretty slow! LOL!

Either way, from a dig or a roll, you should beat him.
If you go from a dig, just make sure you hook up, because if he launches hard with his AWD (all the while frying the clutch and risking blowing out the drivetrain) he may be able to jump a few cars ahead off the line, but as long as you are racing for more than about 100ft you will still reel him in fast lol.
If you race him from a roll it will be absolute rape, you will pull cars on him like he's not even racing, you have a good 80WHP advantage, along with a much more useable powerband

I have turbo car and i dont talk smack lol. Heres another option, get some slicks and do a 5000rpm launch possibly breaking your rear end but also making you just as fast off the line lol. THE CHOICE IS YOUS DO YOU WANNA WIN BY 3 CARS OR BY 10.
Nah evos can be nice my friends ran a 11flat but he traded it for a 02 ss, he said his 13.2 second camaro is way more fun then his 11s evo ever was.

Thats exactly what FWD is good for. It keeps women and teenagers who cannot drive in more control of their vehicle. Its pretty hard to crash a FWD car even if you are just learning to drive.
