Hey if you did run that time that's great but I would think that if your going to make a statement like this you need to post the slip.

 

where the hell is the time slip.. stfu

 

so your saying that since it is not readily available to some areas of the country it is a mod? i live next door to 100 octane and know of about 6 in my imediate area. they sell them at Gas City and Shells/Citgo. everyone in IL can get it so its not a mod out here. i can't get 94 anywhere, i'm not calling that a mod. less people can get 94 then 100 across the country.
again, why does the original posters intentions have anything to do with if it is a mod or not (it wasn't his car either but lets assume it is for sake of argument)? he noticed a gain has nothing to do with whether it did or not. butt dynos lie. especially when you spent money on something and you think it provide gains. 91 to 93 is much more of a difference then 93 to a mix of 91/100 or 93/100.

what? i don't use the stock fluids in my car. is my car no longer stock?synchromesh shifts better and my stock times shouldn't count? at least you didn't strech for that one. you just broke it right off. no kidding the number 100 is not 91. i love how you deem the standards of stock to be 91-94 oct. what a range. why not 87-94. as long as it less then 100 right? a k&n filter is still stock. i can take a big dump and get more gains from the weight loss.

no one has posted them yet so I'll ask again. where are your stock 05's that ran 12.8s? where? are there none? has no one ran there 05s with 100 in the tank when they were stock? or is there none that got those numbers? conclusion, i IX ran better then any 05 in less the one month of being available while a 05 had over a year to get there. they are faster deal with.

 

You'll be missed!

 

Ya know,

Maybe it's me, but on any other enthusiast site, they'd be cheering for their fellow guy that ran the great time, and support him. This must be the ONLY site I've EVER been to where enthusiasts of the same cars bash eachother and call eachother "liars" when they run good times.

The guy says he ran a good time, and will post a slip. Sorry if some of you other guys have Evos that don't run in the 12s. Cut the guy a break.

Hopefully he'll be a man of his word, and post a slip. If he doesn't, then we'll all know that he's not good for his word, and his credibility is destroyed. I'd like to see this slip as much as the rest of you would; not because I doubt his word, but just to analyze how he's making his power, launch technique, etc.

How about if everyone quits arguing before the mods come in here and shut this thread down. If that happens, you're liable to NEVER see a slip.

Man you guy gets worked up over not much. The guy posting doesn't even own the car, why doesn everyone need a timeslip, video this supose to be an enthusiast website not burn them at the stakes witch hunt.

The race gas may or may have not made a difference. I am going to guess this isn't going to be the last 12 sec evo IX, lots of drama over an issue that will probably be mute in the future. A Little more than .1 quicker than 05's is not earth shattering given the advertise 10hp increase and the claims of having a better low end. I realize its one of the first Evo to run 12's stock (or so the claim is) but geez.

 

Let me see if I can make you see it my way. Let's say, I got a girlfriend and she is frigging fantastic in the sack and she can "yoga" to some mind blowing positions. Everything is nice and all but one day, one of my buddies come up to me and say, ya know, beside all that, she also gives a fantastic bl*wj*b. You just missed out on something that you didn't think possible.
So you see... I can't get mad at my buddie can I?
I jsut want to know the truth so we all (or in this case myself) can benefit from it :P

 

My thoughts exactly Warrtalon. 100 octane is rare. When cars are rolled off the factory plants, they are given to the consumer with 91-94 octane in mind. But I do see what others are saying. 100 octane has no bearing on making a car not stock. But it is something out of the ordinary. So I consider it a power adder, kind of like nitrous, of course not as potent.

 

what? i don't use the stock fluids in my car. is my car no longer stock?synchromesh shifts better and my stock times shouldn't count? at least you didn't strech for that one. you just broke it right off. no kidding the number 100 is not 91. i love how you deem the standards of stock to be 91-94 oct. what a range. why not 87-94. as long as it less then 100 right? a k&n filter is still stock. i can take a big dump and get more gains from the weight loss.

91-94 is the range of gasoline at the pump across the 100% of the US at 100% of the stations. Thats why I used it in my post.

K&N is stock? Thats your opinion and your entitled to it. I dont agree with it. Deal with it. Once again, its my opinion, dont go trying to persuade me otherwise as its gets us both nowhere. I respect others opinions, Im cool with that.

Bone stock, factory fresh, unmodified etc. do not usually mean a 100 octane, K&N powered, all fluids changed in trans and diff with redline or 'Add your favourite fluid here' to me. But thats just me.

 

I think someone has already summed it up perfectly:

Bone stock Evo IX running on 100 octane gas ran a great time of 12.xx.

Everyone agree surely?

 

My 05 stock vs another 03 evo (modded which runs 12.9's-13.0 @ 105-106's) our cars are dead even. I drove the 9 the day of the pdi and since my friend bought it ive drove it quite a bit. I have to say the 9's have no dead spot in power like the 05's they just continue to pull. My 05 stock vs the 9 (the three times we ran) he could ever so sligthly walk me everytime. So my thoughts on this is that it very well could be true that the car ran 12.89 @ 107. The 60ft time seems odd with the rev limiter still in place unless he found the perfect combo on how to launch it. Anyways very good driving if you cut that 60ft with the limiter in place.

 

+ Timeslip

 

Look, I'm not attacking anyone in the thread. As was mentioned, it's not even his car. I think we all want to see the truth, but what makes you guys think that this guy has his buddy's timeslip readily available? He said he's going to post the #s. That's all we can hope for.

 

didn't you say your previous post was your last post? We are not all haters. Frankly I think your time is totally believable since 1) your run was on race gas which prevent any possible knock 2) it was 50 degrees out 3) your 60ft. time was 1.7. FOLKS - A STRONG STOCK '05 CAN ALSO RUN THIS TIME WITH THE ABOVE 3 CONDITIONS!!! THERE IS NOTHING NEW HERE now let's end this thread already!
