is this true???

and two, he said in reponse to me telling him the 0-60 of the evo "yeah well thats it, once you get to 80 your car wont pull at all and even a geo metro will be able to kick your ***"

so this guy has some serious issues but what is the truth to these statements...

does the evo loose power in the top end and whats the knock sensor bs?

is there a way to temporarily disable the knock sensor? that way i can tell him to shutup ill just flip a switch (even though this probably wont be an issue for me ever but just theoretically)
