I agree... And I agree with everyone else... And they people always have those debates with the Evo Vs. Cobra blah blah.. Those races are highway.. Of course an Evo will lose... That applies to basically any AWD car. WRX, Stealth, 3kgt, Eclipse, Talon, Laser. But 1/4 we have just as much of a chance to beat a cobra or something as they do to us. But highway is no question, they beat us on the highway from a roll we beat them on the turns.

Nuff Said....

Actually one of the things I love most about the evo is that it can do just about anything drag, autocross, rally and it usually does it very well. Any car that can pull hi 9's to mid 10's that is fairly new to the states is definately a capable drag car not to mention being able to put between 2 and 4 grand to pull low 12's to mid to hi 11s is not anything to be ashamed of. The way some of you talk you would wonder if you even have evos because you don't seem to know the potential of your cars. Not trying to start anything just thought it should be said.
The new Mustang seems to be pretty drag specific. The Cobra also. Nothing like the super stock era or the Muscle car era, but some cars are built for acceleration and little else.
