or just get an old rich lady and u wouldnt have any problems modding. beating a modded vette would be something too in an evo.

 

As for beating the Cobra i would say yes, but really it going to cost alot to get it where u cant mod it anymore, but u dont have to mod it that much. Think about it the car stock can take on most cars already. The only ones ur competing against are people with either high end cars or moded cars. As for high end u can beat some but not all, unfortuniatly its hard for a 4 banger to beat a V10; as for the moded cars there really arent alot of people who have the money to really mod their cars so there are few. Honestly i think that if u get ur car to about 340-350 whp u will be very happy and u can do that for about 4-6k, which isn't too bad. So i guess the real question is can u affored to really mod ur car and is really worth it to YOU to have something like 350whp. Me personalty I'm doing it, but hey its my hobby/passion.

 

I think you need someone to get you a case of beer. jk, but self control i guess. The only mods i have on my car is BOV and Apex'i intake and i'm still happy. Good Luck

 

dag nab it.....if only I could have one.....Just one....is all I ask

 

For the evo to walk by "bus-lenghts" a heavily-modded cobra... that must have been one kick@ss evo... the only cobras and Ws6's I've lost to have been heavily modded - or maybe I just got a weak stock evo... but man, those guys will kill a stock EVO from a roll... all (4) of them were boosting, I've never run a NA V-8 that I didn't beat or at least hang with... but before you get too cocky with your mods... think about the fact that... they have them, too.

Also - unless you have a Lingenfelter vette, or a lambo, or maybe a McClaren F1 - somebody is out there (on the street - or on the track) who can beat you.

 

You could probably hit 350awhp with 3"TBE, TME turbo, intake, fuel pump, MBC, and some type of piggyback. then spend the rest of the money on beer and liquor

 

This is true, someone will always be faster, its just a fact.

 

Getting a few bs tickets seems to have helped my jonesing for more powa'

 

Tickets always dampen the mood to make your car faster. I just got pulled over last week for 10 over and then the cop wrote me up for no front license plate. What a crock of crap.

 

We are lucky that the state does not require a front mt. plate. I wish my wife would let me have one as well.

 

What will kill your drive more is getting in a wreck...like me! True story, my aftermarket floormat shifted as I was turning out of an icey driveway onto a highway, causing my accelerator to jam to the floor and my car to crank hard and spin. I was already slipping on the ice, and the floormat didn't help. Before I knew what was happening, I was already in the spin and it was too late. I got hit by another car. She shouldn't have been in the oncoming lane...Right? The good news, I'm using the insurance money to buy a wicked new body kit and hood. Wow...I guess I didn't learn much at all. Oh well.

Yeah...I'm a Dumb*$$!
The madness never stops, so go with it!

 

Glad you are okay and modding you're car again.

 

you sound like me... just wait til you screw something up really bad..then you'll stop for a good while

 

Thanks, dude. I'm a Firefighter/Paramedic, so it was slightly embarassing to have the FD roll up on my busted-*ss Evo, but it's all good. I've put too much blood, sweat, and tears into this car for it not to come back strong. That's why we modify...It's about taking pride in our rides!

 

i have the same problem. maybe even worse.... I'd go into debt for mods...
