It depends on the story behind how he is collecting these kill stickers. Maybe he is actually doing it on a track? In a way, I think it would be much easier for him to beat these cars on a 1/4 mile track anyway.

There's EVOs running around with 500whp on pump gas... I have no doubt that he beat those cars...

just because a turbo "looked" stock doesnt mean anything... the Buschur turbo upgrades all look stock, but its the internals that really count...

500whp in a 3000lb AWD EVO will beat the living hell out of a LOT of cars...
10 second quarter mile times are easily doable with 500whp, 600whp makes it a joke (and yes there are some running around with that)

The turbo seemed stock, and even with NOS he doesnt have anything on a Lambo.
Many pros use to say no modified FWD 4 banger could run 13s also. They also say no 4bangers could run 13s stock. People also say, AWD has no advantage on a track. If that engine bay seem stock, that's probably what that owner wanted. Many here prefer stock looking and don't like big wings and stickers, this EVO owner could be doing the same with his power. A turbo housing does not always tell the whole story.

I believe he could have kiled all of thoes cars, but i seriously doubt he has run across that many different lambos and ferraris that were willing to race.

Like what cars:

Ferrari 308
Porsche 914
C1-C3 Vette
The silverhaired wife driving the Viper while drinking a latte' and answering the cell phone.

Not that it isn't possible...I hope that a car owner at this level would be more conservative and relish a sleeper. The flags may entice an exotic owner to a pissing match...at that level, I'd hope the exotic car owner had some restraint.

Amusing thought...

I believe it as I have seen EVOS beat those cars. Ive seen highway pulls, 1/4 and a full standing mile races where the evo has come out on top. EVOs are fantastic machines.
