If the owner of the Evo is on this site, you got the right color for your car... yellow. In this case yellow doesn't equal performance, it stands for CHICKEN!!!

The Evo does a ricer fly by on me, while I was on the phone... I promptly got off of the phone, and caught him rather quickly, then he slows down when I got next to him. So I slow, and I had a car pull out in front of me... so he passes me again, I get behind him, just long enought to pass the traffic, then get back next to him. We have the perfect opertunity to catch a light, in an ideal location to get a quick one in, and the chicken straight up blows the red light, and it was red for like 3 seconds. I could've stopped a 5 ton in the time and distance he had to stop, but he was too damn skeered to run me, that he blatently ran that light.

I want to run the "almighty Evo" that everyone is sucking off. First it was the Skittle that everybody was all over, now it's the Evo...

Just for the record, took out a red RX-8 tonight as well. They are alot slower than they look, or this guy can't drive... maybe it was both! He did get it to spin the tires, though.

 

the skittle is still the original almighty!! even I'd race an evo
















p.s.....not from a stop

 

Almighty EVO???? who says this? Yes, it is a very quality car with huge potential but stock it is only a very high 13 sec car.

the majority of the evo owners i've seen thus far, should be forced to turn the car keys over to me, its embarrassing, last saturday night i walked up to one and asked the kid if he could tell me what kind of turbo the car came with stock and he looked at me with this confused look like "these things come turbo?". agh, horrible...side note, if its stock, you'd beat it, they run 13.- something stock, but they are getting these things to run 12.1's on stock turbo...

 

Evo..me thinks the skittle would like to taste one....I havent seen any on my side of town

 

I was impressed by the evo at first.. then I found out they are pushing 19.5psi. Hell I better be doing alot faster than 13's if I'm running damn near 20psi.

 

and I actually haven't seen any around here either yet...you and me need to go out hunting cali

 

STi>EVO. More displacement should please all the domestic guys and 300bhp from the factory (265+whp seems to be the average) ain't bad at all. With a couple of bolt-ons guys are seeing 12s on the stock turbo. Low 12s are a matter of weeks(everyone is scrambling to fab up new parts for the 2.5T) and I have a feeling we'll be seeing a lot of 11s by the end of the year, early next. STi own3z.

Not hating on the EVO, but any car making less than 300whp on nearly 20psi is missing something. Not sure what the CFM rating is on the stock potato, but it needs bigger lungs.

 

just watched the auto show on espn, the new evo is making 271hp at the flywheel. Pretty damn good eprformance for under 30k ... but hell, for 29k you could get a mach 1

 

HAHA, here we go, Evo vs. STi round 23

265 whp, it better make more power with the .5 extra liter, but wait, the evo makes around 250 whp stock, btw, the evo also has a bleeder system to its only running 16 by redline, CFM rating on the turbo is over 550 (big 16G), thats fantastic that STi's will start to see 11's soon on stock turbo's, however, the Evo's are already doing it, people who have taken evo's and hooked some fuel control up and backed off the injectors a little, done full exhaust, and a open element filter are seeing 300+ whp its not easy to get air in and out of stock airboxes and factory restrictive exhaust systems, thats goes for any car, evo is supposed to be much more of a drivers car, while the STi is an understeer king, in fact the only thing the sti was rated better on, was straight line acceleration..thats good, considering neither of the cars are really designed for that...so, in response...evo > sti , flame away, and sorry to hi-jack your thread dino
* edit * , the usdm sti does have the cooler driveline features, however, any evo shopper could look at evolution imports, who sells jap spec evo 8's for 1k over usdm dealer cost, US legal, and they come with the active center diff, 325 stock horsepower, front lsd, active yaw control, and a beefy 6 speed ...here is the current registered times of some owners http://www.dsmtimes.org/evo.htm
