The other night i was just minding my business when a brand new Lancer EVO rolls up to the light. Me and my friends look over, and it looked pretty tight. I didnt like the fact that it was a 4dr sports car and the altezzas and huge spoiler, but i did like the headlights on it. Anyways this dude didnt seem like he wanted to race, so i did a quick rev at him. He looks over and smiles and shakes his head as saying he didnt want to go. After driving about a mile side by side, he rolls down the windows and asked if i still wanted to go,I said sure. We did a 3 honk race from a 40mph roll. I took him easily by 2 carlengths and it stayed that way till 90mph. We then pulled to a red light and he said he would have a better chance from a stop. So we did the 3 honk thing again, and when he took off, he got at least a 1-1.5 car lead. Damn those things pull like a bat out of hell from a stop. I eventually caught up and was even at 85mph. We shut down then. We then pulled over and talked for a good 15min. He then asked us if we wanted a ride in his EVO. So we got in, we end up driving a mile down the road and hit some curvy streets. This dude hit 100mph going down some curvy road and boy does this car stick on the road like its on rails. Overall the dude was a cool guy. Now that ive been in an EVO, they are a car i can damn well respect now. Ive seen some stock EVO's hit 13.5. Not too shabby.

It's all in the launch. With AWD you can get some serious launching if you're willing to flog the car. Even my 165hp RS will wax most Stangs off the line. But by the time I have to shift to 2nd it's over for me.
And yes, they are really good performers.

the fastest evo in the u.s is in ct. it was built by pruven performance. they are in the process of making over 620 horse evo. the record holder as of now is around 500.
EVO's are phat. I don't care for the wing or altezzas either. Which is why I'd like to get the RS model thatMitsu has coming out, 150 lbs shaved, no wing, (but the altezzas are stayin), and it's a half second quicker than the normal EVO 8...plus it's only about 2k more than the base WRX.
yea for some reason I love those evo's I was seriously considering in tradin in my stang awhile back for one of them...the only thing is that they dont look like there worth 30 grand
Its true! lol<IMG src=smileys/smiley4.gif border="0"> (edit) I have one of those evo's in my town, but a lady drives it! I don't know much about them. I would like to give it a run. It's a very ugly car to me.</P><edited><editID>redneck101</editID><editDate>37950.5596064815</editDate></edited>
I haven't seen very many Evo 8's running around. Most of my experience with the Evos is older ones - mostly 4s and 5s - during rally season.
And the reason I get through the intersection first when racing most people (in my RS) is due to arrogance on the other driver's part. I typically don't race much beyond legal speed limits so it's usually just a first gear through the intersection game, and rarely I get beat.
