Sick times!

Kudos to this guy. At least he is doing this kind of driving where it belongs....on a drag strip.

 

well they dont exactly give you time slips on the street ^

 

I know...but that doesn't stop some people.
Anyhow this is the fastest time I can remember seeing for a stock Evo....though I'm sure there are faster ones. The Evo, unlike other Mitsubishi AWD systems, comes with an active ( though not driver-controlled like on the STI )center differential and a Helical limited-slip front-differential for maximum flexibility as needed, though LSD's usually dont make that much of a difference unless you are cornering.

 

I can believe those times.

Actually, the fact that we give out time slips at our track is one of the main incentives we have to get the kids from racing on the street (I was once one of those racing kids when I grew up). One of our rules is no betting, but nobody really enforces that. At least with a timeslip and rules plus a 3rd party as the referee, you have a much better chance at knowing who won fair and square.

 

I've run a 12.992 in my evo mr, I can't tell you what a blast it is to drive this car. I'm saving up to get a bigger turbo to lower that e.t.

 

wow....that is a great time. I love these cars.

 

How's that compare to the br350? I hate dsms with a passion after owning one, but Evos are still respectable.

 

I love that car, man.

 

Vishnu has a hot package for that car that will bring the numbers even lower. I like the evo more that the STI

 

The two cars are very similiar yet share some significant differences. The STi has a slight ( but lessening ) advantage in the power-to-weight department, an adjustable driver-controlled center-differential for the AWD, a somewhat more proven AWD system, a slightly more civil and tolerable ride, and the advantage of having the turbo intercooler mounted high on the hood where it is out of harm's way with road debris.
The Evo generally handles better ( at the cost of an excessively stiff ride for street use ), is less garish-looking outside, and will usually beat the STi in a corner, but has a less-reliable and less-well proven AWD system and a turbo intercooler mounted low under the front bumper where it is more exposed to road debris.

 

The evo has the water spritzer for the intercooler, recaro seats, better shifter, more attractive, just the subtle things that make it a more pleasing package.

 

When i went to the subaru dealer, the sti also had the water spritzer for the intercooler ,recaro seats and from what i believe the 04's and up got a much needed revamped interior which actually looks quite decent now.

I think the evo and the sti each have their own sexiness about them and is all about preference. They good look good, handle great and have GINORMOUS amounts of power.

 

the new sti has an ugly mug

 

no vid i knew i liked those evo's for a reason
