Maybe the EVOs are lighter or have better gearing than Eclipses? Just trying to make some sense of the HP needed to beat the lightning.
Evo is same weight as Eclipse, better gearing, I doubt it. A 500hp lightning might be capable of mid 11's from a dig with a good hook. Goerge with his FWD 2g ran high 11's with 411 hp. An awd with 400hp and a hell of a nasty launch should run the same times as a 500hp Lightning.
