They're actually built for turns, it just happens that they also excel in straight line performance.

Troll away, homo.

how many could you have run into on the highway, and all of them racing you? maybe 5 at top, TOPS. you met bad drivers.

i bet you made up ur story too.

either,

a) you got beat bad by an evo, so your pissed, and now your trying to make urself feel better by posting such a thread.

b) someone with an evo challenged you to a race but your scared and want to find out if you can take it from a roll or dig.

c) ur psised cuz you dont have an evo and this makes you feel better because you cant take corners above 15mph.

=] have a nice day!

well i would say the ones which looked stock would drive normal and not try to race. but everyone i see with exhaust will try to instigate a race on the freeway and i havent lost to one yet. i would say about 10 so far. but just by that was the reason i came here and wanted to know if EVOs have a disadvantage on the freeway compared to from a dig since they are AWD i think? but anyways, if they do have a disadvantage on the freeway/roll why do they bother?

your answers:
A = i've only raced EVO's on the freeway and havnt lost yet
B = no one wants to race me. i havent raced one from a dig so i cant say anything about that, all i know is that the ones i've faced on the freeway were slow.
C = Im not pissed that i dont have an EVO, why would i? i can corner pretty well actually, but that wasnt my question

Define fast troll? Why start a thread like this and provide no details, such as what kind of car do you own. Probably a heavy *** pig called a GTO huh? 400HP and trap speeds under 110mph, wow that's impressive . Or maybe you own a C6 Vette, another masterpiece that would absolutely get smoked by a 400HP stock turbo EVO, are you sure your car is that fast

i think you need to race an evo of equal power,from a dig or on the track. you speak as if evos are just roll racers,they are not.and if they are slow, as you say, find some real comp and and take it to the track,where real racing takes place,and not on the street.your out there beating up, most likely bad drivers.and like dsm gsr04 said give chris evo a call or AMS call for some of that 900hp + evo if ya dont like to race evenly.

LS6 Molestor, what kind of car do you own? Are you afraid to acknowledge it?
