I'd also be willing to bet that the FQ-430 could possibly defeat a C6 Z06 in a track race. The FQ-430 was running with Lambo's and Ferrari's on Fifth Gear. The Vette production line may not be in detroit but the LS7 is still a DIE (Detroit Iron Engine), being it was based off of the LS1 platform. I would also like to add that in stock form the C6 Z06 could be WALKED away from against some of the 9 second Evo's. Nevertheless, the build quality of the Vette is considerably less than the Lancer Evolution. I would agree that it has a better build quality than ordinary Mitsubishi's, however the Evolution's motor is hand built and HAS BEEN hand built for more than 10 years. The LS7 is brand new. Just based on these factors alone, the 4G63 has better build quality. It's being assembled by some of the same people who've built the first 4G63s in the 90s and the LS7 is brand new. The Evo doesn't need insane amounts of displacement to annihilate a Z06, which needs seven liters just to take down European supercars with much lower displacements. Not to mention the Lotus Exige, which until now, couldn't be touched by a Z06 in a straight line. And it has a Celica engine. So take your Evo, go trade it in for that Cromagnon-Man piece of junk and go around telling Evo owners with cars priced much lower that they can't hang with you and just hope a 9s evo doesn't rape your *** and make you eat your words. I personally have witnessed Z06s, the C6 model, that were bought at Jon Hall Chevrolet in Daytona Beach getting whooped by an 03 DMS(Daytona Mitsubishi Racing) evo. Sure, it has a lot of money in it, but still it's 2.0 f'ing liters. And you can call the owner of the car who owns Daytona mitsubishi, along with Jon Hall Chevrolet, which is across the street. And ask about the race that occured on Nova Road. I believe some people may have it recorded. The DMS evo runs 10.3s 1/4s, and yes, it can turn very well. 386-258-3311 - Jon Hall; 386-252-7000 - Daytona Mitsubishi.

how well do you think a 9s evo would do at the ring? and why would you compare a drag car with a race car? if you are so keen on this kinda comparison tehn let me remind you that they make vette funny cars that run 7 seconds in the quarter.... you think an evo can do that even in funny car form? not a chance.

are you sure you know what an ls7 is? it's a modified ls1 and the ls1 is a modified lt1 and those engines have been around LONGER than the 4g63. the ls1 and ls6 are proper race engines, it's true that the build quality isn't up to snuff and the electronics are even more questionable... but when you make a vette run like it "sjhould have" from the factory, and there are many people that make their lives a business of this, don't expect to be comparing c6 z06 to the evo.

this is quickly going to degrade into a oh this car costs more and if i threw this much money at my evo then it'd kick its *** arguement. and i hate those... mostly because they're stupid. a car is judged by it's ultimate potential... at some point you can throw all teh money in the world at the evo... and it will not beat all the money in the world thrown at the c6 z06... that's the end of the story. much of this of course depends on the nature of the competition... the c6 z06 will never rally... but it will do well if not beat the evo in autocross, grand touring, drag racing and many other types of motorsports.

don't get me wrong... i love my evo... but my philosophy is this... have yerself a rally car and a grand touring car... and that will allow you to cover all the areas inbetween. obviously my other favorite car is the c6 z06
