This is the biggest bunch of B*U*L*L*S*H*I*T I've heard yet. My trips to the dragsgtrip with my '03 Evo exhibited no such problems at all. I'm a Hawaii Progas member, and get to use lanes zero and one (to avoid waiting forever to run like all the other lanes). Lane zero is pro-tree only, and lane one is for sportsman tree, which is what I prefer (unless I want to only race rails and drag bikes in lane zero!). I was *right* next to all sorts of shockingly-loud rails, race cars, etc. in the staging lanes when they fired up to make a pass. I'm talking about no more than 3-4 feet away right next to them, and at least as close as you'll end up to *any* car on the street. These things diddn't just fire up next to me. They fired up, and cleared their throats with several large revs that were so damn loud they shook the entire car, and I was FORCED to keep my drivers window closed in staging. My car did not stall or stumble at idle whatsoever.
More evom comedy. Hey, I also hear that when a big-block revs next to ’03 Evos, the turbo jumps out of the hood and runs down the street in fear.

A buddy of mine that owns an Evo commented one day that he was sitting at a light, and a really loud, rumbly big block Camaro pulled up next to him, and started throwing revs at him.
He stated that as this was going on, his car started to idle funny, and ended up stalling on him. He says that because the Camaro was so loud, his Evo's knock sensor "sensed" false knock, and stalled his car out.
I thought that was the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. He claims he's dead serious. So, what's the deal? Does this really happen?

So this is actually true.. He can demonstrate it to you by taking the lid of his airbox off and air filter out.. and slamming the hood down, the car will stumble when the hood closes..

Anyways, i've seen many evos line up against super loud competitors and everything went fine so I don't think this problem is completely true, maybe under certain conditions only.
Set off a blockbuster near the car while its running.. It'll probably stumble or stall.. hehe.. its not the volume of the engine, but the concussive force, if you can feel the air pressure changing, so can the MAF sensor but it depends on HOW MUCH force..

Go map, no issues.
naive people, you will find out one day when the motor dies for some reason... remember this, if you blow your motor, push your clutch in...

lamest **** evAr, the guy who sold me my evo has a 72 nova w/ a 383 MM&S block, reground 400 crank, comp cams, fully ported sportsman II head, walker headers, and I believe a holly 700 then fully dumped. We roll together all the time and although he shows his *** every chance he gets I never get the "big muscle car voodoo curse" that you speak of.
Call me crazy but I think it may have more to do with your intake sucking his emissions. I am pretty sure if he were in front of me my car wouldn't run right. That's just a guess though... seeing he rolls out cloud's like dupont.
