I wil tell ya. I def feel a big difference in the spool up time....and low end torque. Over the 8. Just my opinion

Well i can assure you that it is true. My best friend just picked up his 9 about 2 weeks ago. After 1000 miles we decided to take it to the track to see what it can do. His fastest time was a 13.2@ 104. This was his first time at the track with an awd car. So with that in mind he turned the keys over to me. After a couple passes in the low low 13's. I managed to rip a 12.89 @ 107. This was with a 1.7 60 foot. I am no pro driver...i will tell you that much. So with all the argueing about the times on the stock evo. Here is proof. Oh yea and for the few people who still dont believe me. I will be posting the time slips here as soon as i get then scanned.
great run! congrats!!
Dang I would not let my friend drag race my brand new EVO....but you got lucky...

Well technically, the 100 octane didnt do anything unless the car was knocking to begin with. If the car was at 0 knock and timing was advancing, putting 100 in the tank would do nothing omre than the 93 was.

If this car wasnt stock then i dont know what is. Is putting a 1/4 of race gas in considered not stock? It is not considered a mod. Just difference in fuels. If you guys consider that putting race gas in on a stock evo. Voids the fact that the car isnt stock then your crazy.

Yea i dont know what the big deal is...I mean yea its a good time. But if you look at all of the other 13.0 times. all of them have close or over a 2.0 60 footer. So it was just a matter of time.
