EVO's are not 13.5 sec cars.....
there is no need for me to lie. there were plenty of people there to see it. i also have it on video tape. hopefuly my friend with his video capture will give me the clip.

The first thing that runs through my mind is doubt, but who knows could be a freak car from the factory. I bought a 99 trans am brand new and the stupid thing would pull any stock c5 vette I came across, so I know they are out there. Congrats on the run though.
Hey Zero, sorry 'bout the attitude in the earlier post. I would really like to believe that your BOV shows that our stock one does not hold boost and with a good aftermarket one our times can improve by 2 to 3 mph. If that is the case, the woosh you hear won't be a BOV venting to atmosphere, it will be all the Evo owners rushing to buy one. BTW, stock, I ran 13.7/100.5mph.

take into consideration my reation time to the green light, and my 60' time. i believe those have a big role on why i ran 12.99. Again there is no need for me to lie, and i know how to launch my car. Oh and let me mention i burned my clutch that day(stock clutch). The stock BOV leaks boost cause of it cheap design. The greddy type s hold the boost if set properly. I think that was my case here and the fact i had a great start to finish.
Reaction time has nothing to do with your 1/4 mile time/mph (FYI). However, I have no doubt that you/your car ran 12.99. I ran a 13.185 with a 1.74 60ft and my top speed out of 4 runs was 104.56 mph. There have been a couple other members claiming 13.0's at 103-104mph as well. What impresses me is your 1/8 mile speed of 84+ mph (mine was 82.56 mph) which is the highest I've seen for a stock Evo, good job!
Damn, glad to here that the type s helps out in performance wise. hahahah.... TO be honest with you guys, I went for the greddy type s bc I like the sound and the look factors. I wasnt sure that it help out in holding boost better than stock, bc I heard the stock one is just fine. After I installed my bov and removed the inner spring, it works perfect and noticed alil improvement in throttle response in between shift.
I dont doubt that your car made it in the12sec. but all i can say that the driver has something big to do with it
. My friend STI will never pass my EVO or even come close until we are 130mph+ . I dont lunch my car hard to, I just feel it and i pass him from a stop about 4 cars difference. more than 4 good drivers drove his car and i managed to outcome all of them
