Off the line? none maybe a GSX with mods.


If it matters I raced a brand new STi last night. He had full exhaust and was running race gas, I was on pump 93 at 19-20PSI and was walking all over him making him look silly. He cheated came up and I went to talk to him and he down shifted an floored it on me. so with a car length head start before I was down to 2nd gear Im thinking I wasnt gonna catch him but I walked up in 2nd then in 3rd kept walking got even with him and stopped for cars

Then again later on down the road he down shifts and waits for me so I downshift and we went about the same time and I walked ahead instantly throught all of 2nd and 3rd I had to stop for traffic again so I pulled a half of car on him or so in a short distance but if we had running room I would have put prob 2 car lengths on him maybe more

why does it matter when the 05 and 06 EVOs have less power and are faster and the EVO has much better handling.

what a bunch of newbs lol HP ratings mean nothing. The EVO IX is rated at 286hp and runs 12.89 1\4 the STi is rated at 300ho and runs 13.2-13.4 hmmmmm ill let them have 20 extra HP

Not to mention our motors are good up to about 510AWHP there motors start to crack piston ringlands at around 400HP so with bolt ons and cams there motor is to the breaking point.
maybe they are trieng to even out the playign field by dropping the hp a little bit in hopes to get better accel and handling?

that is not going to help either. There handling problem is because they uses cheezy suspension setups and run 70% rear wheel Drive and it will make accel slower
