well i wasnt really afraid of EVO's, i know im not king of the hill. i just had a question about the top end of the EVO since all of my friends are into america, and european cars, so i was directed to this board to ask.

but i have came accross 3 new z06's and beat them as well. i can understand them wanting to race. i wasnt sure why so many evo's would want to though

can't say anything good about those evo owners that prompts you to race them on the street....street racing are for those drivers who are too young to own a great car like the Evo or Viper.
Since you race those Evo's on the street, let me guess...you're 16 or 15 y/o? If not, I guess you think like one.

im 24 and this viper is just one of my fun weekend cars. i do not go to organized illegal street races to race. if there is open road in front of me and if there is a car next to me trying to race me, i will race him up to a point. normally when i drop it into 3rd and by the time i hit 4th, i have a large enough lead already to end it.

You'd be suprised how many kids have an evo because there mommy or daddy bought them one and less than a year later they spin out on the freeway or wrap it around a tree. I wouldn't race a viper on the freeway unless I had a bigger turbo atleast. Now from a dig a moderately modified evo would be a good race for you.

i can tell the difference between the two, but are they really that much different on top end? from my experience they seem rather close?

If thats really your viper, put some bread and milk on the hood, take some pics then post it.

Are you sure all those you listed evos, z06 were trying to race you? or were you the one thats trying to race them?

Lol... Thats awsome.

Have you ever thought about the possibility that the Evo's just want to see a Viper race or hear it take off? I know there not rare or an exotic or anything but they can still be pretty sick when modded.

Case in point a couple weeks ago there was a Viper at the tracks the other night for the legal street races that I set up a run with just for the hell of it. He had just dyno'd that day at alittle over 600whp so I knew I was going to get killed I just thought it would be fun. Well needless to say I killed him on the launch and had him by a couple cars through the 1/8th but he pulled hard and ended up beating me by 2 cars at the very end. He did have a passenger but he was also running Drag Radials. I lost but it was still fun even though I knew I was going to loose.

BTW, what mods do you have to be pulling new ZO6's?

so, yeah, stock evo's shouldnt try to run vipers, but becareful, because an evo with a bit of work in it will be very dangerous, so my answer is that no they are not topend monsters but unlike alot of other cars they are certainly capable of it in a cost effective and attainable manner.
i think this post pretty much answer the question you initially asked about in this thread.
