CATCHES BULLETS... WITH HIS TEETH!

Wait...THERE ARE STOCK EVOS OUT THERE!? a rare beast indeed.

DeeezNuuuts83 · 08-30-2013, 10:48 PM

Yup. Every time I take it to the dealer (I get free oil changes), they always ask if I want to trade it in, since they know people want it.

An evo 8/9 makes about 215-220 awhp stock, an evo X makes 225-240 awhp stock.

It's really just a benchmark because the evo is one of those care that are considered fast as fuck.

? that's it? the sti is 300 stock

^ At the crankshaft. They were talking about whp.

frs>sti or evo why? rwd. This is comming from an STi owner for 3 years of mountain roads, autox, and track days

DeeezNuuuts83 · 08-31-2013, 09:55 AM

Anything these days is more fun to drive than an STI. Good power, good grip, solid transmission, but understeer understeer understeer.

I like how a modified FR-S beating a stock Evo isnt "anything to brag about," to the Evo fanbois. But when they hand a stock Corvette or some other obviously "better," sports car its a$$ when those cars are stock its all high fives and chest thumping.

ZionsWrath · 08-31-2013, 07:30 PM

That's why drag racing on the street is pretty silly. It's a $$$ game. My friends husband used to race on strip and street and she said he was going through clutches every few months. Fuk dat shit

DeeezNuuuts83 · 08-31-2013, 07:32 PM

It isn't anything to brag about. Modded vs. stock isn't the most reputable comparison.

Right..and evo owners do this on a pretty regular basis.

Every owner of every car has done that. But beating a stock Evo in a straight line these days really isn't that hard. Ten years ago, it would've been a bigger accomplishment.

So how do you feel when stock Genesis Coupes nudge ahead of stock 86s then in a straight line? Really, it's not a big deal. Straight line acceleration is cool but not quite the biggest measurement of performance.

I agree with you 100%...but say that on a LSx forum and you'd think you spit in the face of the Pope.

DeeezNuuuts83 · 09-01-2013, 04:28 PM

But I know better than to do that on an LS forum dedicated to a platform that has had a lot of performance goals but has always had a focus on straight-line acceleration, whether we're talking about Corvettes specifically or any sporty vehicle to have been given an LS motor from the factory... Camaro, Firebird, GTO, G8, whatever. While today's LS-powered cars are far more capable in the corners than they were a decade ago, going fast toward the horizon has always been their cup of tea. I can't say the same thing for the twins, S2000, Evo, WRX/STI, etc., though some of them were good at it, but they weren't made to kill it on the drag strips.
