Default Gs430 vs evo X gsr?

A very close friend if mine keeps saying his car would spank mine. It's bone stock besides a cat back exhaust. Planning on Doing a little friendly race out in the open desert. 300$ race. My car is also bone stock with just straight pipes. I do on the other hand have my whole trunk cleared out, no spare tire and no jack and removed my sub. My 20's are also off and I'm on my chrome 17's. I did a full tune up on the car and clocked my 0-60 at 5.9 seconds. Should I take it? The evo also has rims on it that I think are 18's and the car is a manuel, witch I think would give me a slight advantage if he shifted a little slower.


The car

Yeah... you're about to be out of $300 unless he's an EXTREMELY bad driver. Good luck either way.

True... But I'm sure that 4.6 0-60 was from a perfect launch by a professional driver.

He would have to be a very bad driver for you to win.

Dude I did a small highway pull not to long ago, and we were pretty even and I was slowly pulling, it was like a 60-90 pull but we were just messing around. I guess that's why I thought I had a chance. Thanks for looking out guys! I'm keeping my 300! I just wanted to make sure the 0-60 times were or were not accurate

thats from a highway pull. Our motors are known for the high end torque.

Yeah man, I'm glad you and everyone else were straight up about everything.... Lol or I would have been disappointed. The dodge srt8's 0-60 were very inaccurate. I was hoping the evo's were also, Combined with a bad launch I was hoping it would put me ahead even by a little. LOL club lexus again saving me money no matter the situation
