^^^still tho this guy says he pulled an evo stock for stock from a roll. No way(if they were indeed racing and he didnt have a crapped out motor) he'd take him, even if evos are bad from a roll, we still cant beat them stock.

maybe he was in 5th and just punched it, you dropped it down to 4th which you could have gone down to 3rd if you wanted to at that speed..but mainly...TURBO LAG
evos stock have serious turbo lag....i watched a top gear video like a year back when they did a show on the evo XIII and they did a test to show how bad the turbo lag was...
you never know, could have been a bad driver too? alot of teenagers and first time drivers(first time manual drivers) are starting to get evos because of the huge price drop on them over the past years....=/

^^^ Even still once the evo gets up to 4kRPM, goodbye. The thing'll keep up with AWD V12 Lambos (Top Gear Evo vs. Lambo)

at a 40 roll the tC "should" drop it in 2nd during a race

^^^Yea that guys obviously never ridin in or driven one. I drove a 06' MR with my dad at a dealership when we were thinking of trading the srt4. The evo is straight BADA$$. Turbo lag isnt too bad b/c is has the twinscroll turbo.

a stock evo 8 is not very powerful...225awhp stock. stock im not sure. a boosted turbo tC can walk it wasy from a roll. a heavy boosted turbo tC can walk it from a dig if its stock.

^^^how do you get that. Our turbo tC's on here are running times in the quarter equal to or better than a STOCK evo 8. It's a driver race. It would be very close. we might walk one from a roll. But I still would have to go with the evo 8 from a dig b/c big torque/hp +fwd = traction problems. Unless you have some really good rubber

no offense, but getting a PULL on someone on the road is complete ____. I still have my porsche 944, and i have gone top end with some pretty high end rides... either take it to the strip, or top them out, but something where the race starts at second gear and goes to third isnt crap.

To stick on topic, he wasnt racing you, he would have killed you if he was.

Modded for Modded, there simply is no comparing a modded EVO and a modded tC. If you want to talk value for the dollar, you may have some kind of arguement. But in terms of sheer performance capability, it's a completely different league. Chassis flex, composure, driving characteristics, transmission. . .
The EVO block is fundamentally a MUCH stronger engine. I'm no EVO fan (I would never own one), but I'm honest.
