EVO vs. WRX/STi Shootout Results Thread
the RHD evo V was a guy named leo. he comes and hangs out with us evo-ny guys every so often. i had the opportunity of being in the car for a run and its just insane. i am not sure on his fastest run but he ran a 11.5 on his last one.
nice to finally meet AL on the way home at burger king. we were the evo-ny guys u were talkin with..

No there was a conversion there. This was a bonifide Evo 5
I also talked to him in the pits briefly before the quick 8 eliminations started.
Funny, some of the parts are still the same like door switches.

Congrats on the 9.92 pass, you guys work hard at it and it is well deserved. The only point I am trying to really make is that you can tune a car all week on the dyno, take it to the track and break it or run terrible times at the track, but nothing can prepare the car/driver better then racing in real world conditions..Just want to send my congrats to everyone who participated in the event..

I tried shifting the car out at a higher RPMs but the shift light wasent working and the factory tach is WAY too slow. I was trying to shift at what I thought was 9k but by the time I knew it the car was smacking rev limiter at 9600. I missed 2nd and 4th on that run, which was against that bad *** RHD Evo V.
The 1st elimination run was against a black STI. I cut a better 60' than the record pass but the car overboosted after I shifted to 4th right as it was going thru the 1/8th mile speed trap. With a big turbo, its game over once your out of boost. That run was definatly on par to another 9.8-9.9.
The 2nd elimination run was against Al. I just made a mistake and bogged the car. Noone to blame but myself on that one. Getting a upper 700 whp car to leave good on drag radials is tricky to say the least. Especially on crappy 2 year old 245/17" Nittos we had laying around.
Saturday was the first time Ive ever driven the car except for the dozen or so highway pulls we did on the video. I did some more clutch adjustments to it today and we'll be throwing the hoosiers back on and going to the track this week.

The goods news is how well the system does work. We were making 35psi of boost at 4300 rpms!!! That's on a huge Holsett HX50 turbo. Max boost was hitting 38 psi, and the head gasket went once we shot for 40psi. I can't wait to see how much power we're making.
Hopefully, I'll have time for a few 1/4 runs next week out East before the car heads back to Colorado altitude.
Congratulations to everyone on some amazing times.

I was really disappointed about the head gasket but we pushed the tuning a little too far on the street. We really didn't have enough time to prepare properly and got overly aggressive. Oh well, it happens.
