h22 ha i would not even waist my time

 

Just to toss in my .02 cents:

I drove an 03 Evo that was at 365awhp from Denver to Colorado Springs. I went to pass someone while I was travelling at 75mph (speed limit). I passed them, went back into my lane smooth as silk. It took me a few seconds to notice I was at 140mph and slow down. Evos are awesome. I love their handling. I love their turbo-charged power. The only time the Evo sucks is during stop and go traffic... but then all cars suck in stop and go traffic. :/

I got run off of the interstate the other day by a semi that changed lanes into me as I was passing him at 80 mph and was pushed into the center grass median. First, I had to make the abrupt move over which would have upset any other car in my opinion. Second, and the fact that I still had my winter treads on may have helped, but I just gave Evo a little more gas and merged back onto the pavement after completing the pass. So, there are more things to consider than just HP, things like your life.

 

ur smoking crack if u classify a GTO as a boat.

 

boat - yes. check the holden review on top gear (UK) and see why. Handful on the track.

 

no YOU go and watch the top gear episode and at the end listen to how they say they love it, and how tossable it is for being such a large and heavy car.

why dont u tell Rhys millen its a boat?

 

Dude, you just said the most redundant thing ever. We call Big heavy cars "boats."

 

sorry if i offended you =)

 

Not to mention if you aren't racing at 60mph, and your just crusing in 5th gear @ 60mph there will be some turbo lag. at around 70mph+ you are just about entering the powerband. There is a huge gap between 4th and 5th gear on the 5spd. I usually have to rev up to 4200rpm before going into 5th to not bog down.

Honestly, if your into go on the highway, you need a big displacement motor. a used 03 svt cobra will kill anything on the highway. Hell I might of just bought a 03 cobra if I didn't have to drive it year round.

 

ohhh i see genius, i guess by that rational an E55 AMG is a boat....

got it.

 

word.

 

Unless you plan on going on the autobahn, the Evo is very capable of doing whatever you want it to. Pulling out into traffic off the ramps you can jump into traffic in seconds. Yeah mustangs may have a better top end but they also get light on the rear wheels and can easily spin out...All wheel drive is where its at, anything you need.

 

i drive on the higway all day and i have a few mods TBE, EBC ~19-20PSI, Safc (no timing adjustments) on my 04 RS. I never got into it with an SS but I pull on nearly everything else I have seen on the highway (M3s, cobras, GTs, A4s, modded firehawks, modded SRTs, modded Camaro, etc.). I had a vette pull on me once, but only when we got up there. a slightly modded cobra, SS, or vette would eat me. i think there is plenty in an Evo for the higway, especially once u get TBE, a EBC, and a full tune. just get in the right gear.

 

you will not pull on a stock LS1 Z28 or SS (01+ the oned with the Z06/LS6 intake manifold) that is a 6 speed manual on a highway roll.. or LS2 powered cars, or any vette unless they didnt know they were racing.

i used to have a 01 ss 6 speed...

 

I think you'd like it on the highway regardless

..it handles good
