just sell the car man.
What about nitrous? There is a guy around here with a '03 C5 Z06 that is bone stock with a 100 dry shot, that smoked a 450 whp Talon, and a 500 HP Supra... How much of a dry shot could my car handle without getting too risky???
This is the funniest thing I've ever read. I/E/bov/tune Evo wants to run an F430 for a grand and a C6 for $500?? (btw, the vette is 400hp at the flywheel, not wheels). You might have a slight chance with the vette on the street if you can get a good launch, but it will be close. You are probably putting down, what like, 320hp at the most? The Ferrari was tested at 11.7 @120. No way you will even come close, no matter how good your launch is. Good example of a stupidly cocky evo owner.
BTW...
Funniest thing I've heard in a while. Perfect example of the overconfident, cockey Evo owner who thinks his car rules the world. This 'new guy' thinks his car is the fastest thing because it damn near is.
BTW...

He has no idea what the Evo is capable of...

Ok, so I guess I will need a lot of work to even hang with these guys. I am thinking about just selling my car and picking up a used '03 Z06 for ~$30k... more potential, faster stock, cheaper to make fast...

The fact of the matter is that either of these cars, reasonably well driven, is going to send you home crying. What you have on your side is that your car is fairly easily made capable of beating either with carefully selected modifications. The bad news is that it's going to cost you a good bit more than $1000.
End of story.
Chewie, you got flamed to h3ll a couple months ago when you were talking about getting rid of your car right after you bought it. Something about the dealership screwing you and your buddy over or something like that.
It seems to me that not much has changed. It's obvious you know very little about Evo's. If you even have to ask, there is no way you can beat either one of those cars. You should already know what kind of power you're making. You should already know what kind of speed & times you're able to pull. Have you ever even raced your car at the track? Do you expect to go to the track and beat them the first time out?
If you had done any of the above things, you would already know you don't have a chance against either car. What are you trying to accomplish by playing this thread out?

Hope you got some mods.
