Nice reaction time!

Reaction time has no corrolation to your elapsed 1/4-mile time. You can sit at the tree for three seconds after the light turns green, but your time doesn't start until you leave the line!

 

if u did a 12.9 on a stock evo...daym~ but for the sti that got a 14??....has to be the driver...he either got one arm or one leg or he's not driving that thing hard...there's no way a sti pulling out 14 on a drag if that guy was a good driver

 

Using one of several simple HP vs. ET calculators, the 12.9 ET correlates to a 3400 lb car that puts down around 313 hp at the wheels or 369 hp at the flywheel....... This is supposed to work for a RWD car, but when I put in my 14.3 ET with the same 3400 lb car, I got 230 hp at the wheels and 271 hp at the flywheel which is remarkably close to the published specs of the stock EVO........

Hey I don't want to start and bs or anything, but a lot of these claims of superfast EVOs smell like bullsh!t Come on, 370 flywheel HP from a stock EVO?!?!?

 

Wow this thread was such a waste of time I need to spend some more and give my .2. ... BS

 

My best time on my stock Evo on a hot humid night in San Antonio was 13.7, and that was done launching at 6000 RPM's(bad smell).I put an RMR downpipe and exhaust and a filter and ran a 13.2 on a cool night, taking it easy on the clutch, so I think I could have got a thirteen. I've seen stock evo's that couldn't get their times under 14. Don't believe Michael Schumacher could run a 12.9 stock.Have to see it to believe it.

 

since i just wasted 10 minutes reading through this post, I thought I should add my 2 cents... T.I.M.E.S.L.I.P.S.???

Oh Yeah! I Just ran a 12.9@105.49mph on my stock Giant Mountain bike.

 

Was that a Giant Iguana? I know for a fact that the older Shwinn Paramounts would only clock in tyhe high 13's and they were lighter and better gearing.......

 

As far as the title goes most evos ARE mid to high 13 second cars. If you happen to have a factory freak, congrats, but that would be one case out of many. I would call most Stis low to mid 13 second cars and wrxs low to mid 14 second cars. I am hoping for 12.7-12.8 with my vf34 setup.

 

i have JIC Ti-catback and 3" dp-testpipe on my evo and with 3/4 tank of gas it weighed 3220 at the local truck weight station.

3400 is heavy !! maybe your evo is fat

 

angry evo nerds. sti stock > evo stock. just get over it. evo modded > sti modded. that is the fact so just deal with it. also rrm stage 2 turbo > stock evo. gg peasants.

 

those hp calculators use an avg of like 2.1-2.3 60ft's....to accomodate all cars

and 3440 is a good amount....3220 with a titanium exhaust...so stock exhaust is another 20 lb....and then a 160lb driver=3440 lbs

 

ya and with the sti's....

in cali.....sti's are noticably slower.....

91 octane to 93 octane is a big difference to the knock sensor....and ignition advance


but at the moment....modded evos>modded sti's.....except the esx 9.6@ 147


but the ej257 block has only been out a year compared to the 14 years of the 4g63....

 

So since YOU ran a 12.9, all EVO's run 12.9's and since that STi ran a 14-sec time, they are slow. What a concept.

 

zerofrost, why are you so hostile towards the STi. Clearly you like the evo better, why do you keep blabbering on about how much you dislike the sti?

 

I'm a subaru owner. Sti's stock are good for consitent 13.2s. Yes your 12.9 is faster than "14s" but not much faster than a 13.2. Your statements are reaching. Why am I even writing this, even diambo4life can see that you're a tool
