OK, which one of you got broke off by this Evo?

[turbosam6]

Come on, fess up!

[SGRIM]

Looks like the GN one the 2nd round!

[Epitome]

Looks to me like the Buick was going to pass the Evo both times if the race was long enough. 4 wheel drive on the street rules the 60 foot unless your combo is perfect lol.

[turbosam6]

Are we watching the same race? The GN was getting pulled on, watch the tail lights. I wonder how fast that evo is? Seemed like it was having traction issues.

[darkred87T]

Iv'e seen some pretty fast Evo's at the LEGAL track I go to. There was a red one there last time running 12.0/low 12's@ 110-110 MPH.

[SVORay]

My friend's EVO runs 11.70's


It's pretty empressive to see an AWD car burn all 4 tires Now the guy is trying to shoot for low 11's to high 10's. The head is off getting p&p and God knows what else is being done to it.

[Turbo6Smackdown]

When they race a full quarter mile, THEN we'll see. And the awd only rules, if the driver knows what the hell he's doing. And low 12's for a TR is NOTHING but sometimes just a simple twist of a knob.

[Dennis F]

If the Evo was pulling on him through most of the pull, what makes you think the TR was going to catch up before the end of a 1/4mile?

Low 12's maybe nothing for a TR, but the new Evo's are running mid/high 12's out of the box.

Hell, one of the local's just ran 11.57@119 with nothing more than an exhaust and fuel control.

[flipmo]

One Word - Damnnnnn!!!!! I meant Dorn!!!!!

[Turbo6Smackdown]

evos? mid 12's from the factory? id like to see that.

[SVORay]

A friend of my friend with the EVO has a new EVO as well. This guy claims he's gone mid 12's with only exhaust and tuning. Now I'm not sure how much I believe him but who knows.

[Turbo6Smackdown]

Yea, Im not doubting theyre fast, nor are they REAL fast with just a few mods, but really... no little rice burner, is already hanging with porsches right out of the factory man. dont think so.

Sounded almost as ignorant as old musclecar guys saying "No V6 is gonna run with my big block".

If you get the dealer installed Buschur Racing kit it is no problem.
Buschur Racing - Your source for Mitsubishi racing parts and accessories for Evo VIII and Evo IX Lancers as well as Mitsubishi Eclispe, focusing on turbo upgrades and exhaust systems. A guy was over the other day had the Buschur kit put on his Evo and went 12.5s Buschur's driver went 9.8s driving it in and home. ALOT of fast Evos and DSM's coming out of that place.

Is that the same as the Evo IX MR? I keep hearing about them but details are sketchy. 345 crank HP in a light car it would seem 12s would be possible stock.

Jim

[forcefed3.8's]

EVO's run 13's stock, but they respond well to little things like most turbocharged vehicles. I saw Buschur running 12.7's with an EVO at Norwalk before EVO's were even being sold in the US.

[85 TR]

the new evo 9's will go 12.8's stock with the right driver at around 106mph seen it plenty of times a guy at the track went 12.4 at 114 with a boost / fuelcontroller and eghaust and ive got a 92 talon in my gatage right now that went 117mph @ 21 psi on pump gas and no traction so 4g63's can be pretty fast.

[10secvega]

A kid named Trent(Works for Buschur)has a silver one.Man that car flies!!

[Dennis F]

To all the nay sayers out there, the Evo 9 will run 12.5 to 12.8 around 108 all day long with a good driver. Hell, 114mph traps are good for high 11's.

There have to be 15 of the things up here at my track and I personally know a few of them. They are a fast car right out of the box.

With just an exhaust and some fuel control they run deep 12's all day long. There is no reason to doubt it, just go to your local track and watch with your own eyes.

Hell, Curt Brown's daily driven Evo8 ran 9.33 at 155 with a 37r. Drove it 200 miles to the track and back home again.

[BillyRValentine]

Still doesn't answer the original question of who it was that got spanked. Bottom line is that it looked like the Evo won both times. To be honest who really cares what it is; FAST is FAST!!!

[TClassic]

Guy,

My BONE STOCK EVO IX (that I just sold) wnet 13.09@105.71 at the Buick Cecil County Friday Test & Tune. Thier Great cars and a LOT of fun, but they get NO RESPECT at the car Shows, even my Club members who I've known for years have a Hard time accepting them as a TRUE Muscle Car....Heres a link to my (Former) car.. Boulevards Knights Members Rides

[Haynesie]

....well that would be because they are not a muscle car.

WOW...

This is embarrassing to read

Buick has a rich history of muscle cars, were as the EVO was built as a rally sport car!! The EVO and WRX was built for autox/rally sport racing and not drag racing. Who cares how fast they can run, it doesn't change the fact they are rally sport cars!! Also, just because it has a turbocharger doesn't make it a muscle car The TR's was built in a time where it was VERY hard to build something radical using V8's. Just do a search, this took place during the gas shortages of the 70's. It was freaken hard to find cars during the 80's with a big motor because of it. The car was raved about in Hotrod magazine...show me where they did the same for some Import rally sport car??

If I had a TR for sale, I wouldn;t sell it to you...but thats just me.

Right on.

First of all the quality of that video sucks.
The veiw point is also rotten.
The crowd in it doesn't strike me as one idicative of attracting any knowlegable or serious TR racers.
It even looks like they're racing stopped on the side of a highway?
When the TR boils the tires before the race, that would be to heat up a DR, but I don't see anything resembling a slick as it goes by.
Everyone knows it's a waste of time heating up a street tire, especially if it's the stock 215.
When they do line up & go by, you can hear the EVO balls to the wall, but not the TR, and for some reason the tires aren't spinning anymore?
It almost sounds like the TR starts getting into boost when they're almost out of sight.

Not saying the EVO isn't a fast fun car, it's all relative, but the way this was presented here is just a poor attempt at a troll.

Bottom line, give me a TR any day.

[Scott Atk]

Here's me coasting to the win over a very fast EVO. Turns out I only needed 4 connecting rods to beat him.

A win is a win.

The sound of those 4-bangers makes me want to gouge my eyes out with those little forks that they use for olives and for digging meat out of lobsters and crabs. (I know the eyes aren't for hearing, but it's what came to mind).

Jim

[SVORay]

I don't mind the fours but I'm more into demestics


My stang came stock with a turbocharged 2.3L and I wouldn't call it a muscle car. It was built for road racing and it did a good job.

SVORay, what part of West TX you live in?

my brother has a similar car, 88 Tbird TC, different turbo I believe tho, still a cool car, and incredibly sophisticated for the times

Cool, if you ever feel the need to come race @ Idalou near Lubbock, let me know. There are a ton of GNs here in Amarillo, we just need an excuse to migrate south for some racing

For some reason, alot of EVOs sound worse then DSMs, even though its pretty much the same engine. Must have alot to do with the exhaust setup. My Talon had a nice deep tone to it, not ricey like that. Makes me glad I never put an exhaust on my Evo.....
