I watched another Evo pull a 17sec quarter mile (yep, 17). Problem is too much inexperience expecting the car to do all the work. If you want to shut him up for free with no risk, just spend a little time at the track and get a good time slip....challenge him to beat that.

Money isn't a issue, their high school kids with 30k cars.

an autox competition would be sweet though. he would get killed as it understeers like a biznatch (prolly due to staggered tire sizes). my friend has one, very nice car, nevertheless. i remember my other friend once goes to me "...look up 1/4 times for his car, it has similar stats as your evo". i go: "similar hp doesn't mean similar 1/4 times, it's like 200lbs heavier and RWD only". i think many ppl get fooled by the numbers. once, one of my friend's clients overheard my friend talking about his wrx and said "how much hp is your wrx?....227? my car can beat yours", so my friend asks "what makes you say that", to which the guy replies "i have a TL, it has 270 hp" hahaha what a tool. and going back to the A4 comments. last i checked, the A4 1.8t quattro with 170hp with manual has like the same 0-60 times as my LS integra lol.

Be wary of the G35 though.. sounds like he has money.

I once bought a $500 NOS kit to win a $1000 race at the track, gave me the umph I needed to win, then sold the NOS kit for $525 LOL

Better yet, if you are worried, why dont YOU buy some NOS for the race, then sell it afterwards, one or two runs with NOS is completely safe as long as you dont go over a 75hp shot on a stock car.

Was the easiest $1,000 I ever earned.. Then the guy found out I used it and got all upset.. tisk tisk.. I half expected him to use it too, no need bringing a knife to a gunfight. Money is Money, if there are no rules to this race you know what to do, play it quick, play it dirty

Alright alright......here you go.....I've figured out a sure way to win this.....but this will only work if you are lining up to him on his left.
Okay.....here's the plan....during the race, make sure you bring a passenger, either a really hot chick, a really ugly one or your math teacher. Then during lauch have her flash at the guy so that with the hot chick you will distract him, with ugly one you will shock and tramatize him and with your math teacher you would blind him for life.

Wait...seeing you are such a wonderful student....I'd throw in a freebie for you...this one's from my personal arsenal bin....I've never told anyone about this b4.

Okay....here goes....before the race....Casually *I stress "casually"* walk up to him and just mention that after the race you will go and celebrate the release of your father who has just been released from maximum security prison for murdering and mutilating someone for losing to him during a street drag race, and would like to invite him to the party afterwards.

If you need more help, let me know....or PM me. But usually the first one works pretty well, and if not....the second would definitely ensure your victory.

sorry for the long post. Just trying to help out a fellow evo owner.

not only that but still have money to put mods.. and throw down 1 grand for a race..

anyhoot.. i was driving minding my own business the other day when this black g35 pulls up next time.. guy driving with his chick.. whatever.. guy starts trying to mess with me acting like sum hardass.. so by now i've made it a point as to if anyone tries to race me and they have their girl with them.. i just have to embarass them so i rev it up.. get next to him.. and he takes off.. dont even downshift.. stay in 4th.. hes a car ahead of me and i just pass him up with ease i say you race this fool if he is stock (although like sumone said he could be lying) but just race him and get it over with.. make sure to post the vid up tho
