Listen to the video closely. He might spin in first, but he hooks in second. Still hit the limiter some in second, then hit it again pretty hard in third.

If that's the case, don't come to the evo vs sti shootout, because there would be a lot of banned members =)


Seriously though, the original poster is just ribbing us a little bit, don't take it so personally.

It does bring up a point though.

Mustangs are like tampons, every pu55y's got one.

Don't sweat it guys. He is just trying to ruffle some feathers.

Most of us already know the truth about what our cars can do. Keep your cool!

Anybody notice in the video you hear a pop and then the Evo slows down? It sounds like the intercooler pipe popped off.

Fellas.....listen to the video closer....you can tell that the RX-7 sounds NOTHING like a roatary powered car.

well he ran 11.6-11.9 all day so he was pretty consistant in that perspective.. and he got locked out of 4th for 1 throw, then got it in.

ya it wasnt his best MPH of the day, he hit rev limiter almost every gear, and missed 4th. his best mph that day was 126 i believe.

AND FOR THE CREATOR OF THIS THREAD EVO'S ARE NOT 14 SECOND CARS IN ANY FORM!! LEARN TO DRIVE

Edit : SP =)
