You will stand a better chance with Supra and GTR.Supa cand do 600whp with long powerband.

It makes more torque there than most evos make peak and it keeps at it (and some more) till 7k. In most cases, evo's are useful form 5k up to around 7k and at least that means more gear changes (interruptions in the power delivery) and generally lower top speed.
As I said, it's not impossible but IMO 15k is a lot of money to put into a 30k car. Granted, it's not 70k like for the Z but at the end of the day in most cases at such performance levels things are not going to last very long, simply they're not designed to take that sort of power.

15K is alot of money? And you think 70k isnt? I just told you it would be more cost effective to just get an evo. There is a local guy here who had a 35r setup making over 500whp on the stock block and he had it for over 30000miles and over a yr and a half then he went with a 40r making over 840whp on a built bottom end. He hasnt had one problem.
Also smogrunner(who also has a 35r setup) runs high 10's as well and his car and setup costed about 45grand. So again he saved 25grand.

It still is an Evo and I don't care how much money you throw at it. Like I said before apples to oranges.
I have about the same $$ into my Evo+built as my new Z06 will cost.
That said. Could I beat a Z in a 1/4 mile. ON JUST PUMP 474whp I would like to see. It would be an interesting race. On pump/meth about 590whp yes for sure. On C16 710whp it would not even be close.
But I would take the Z any day over my Evo for everyday driving. Plus 100k warranty and if I tried to sell my Evo I would be lucky to get 40k to 45k = 30-35k loss.
Z's are selling on the west coast over sticker as much as 20k.
Both great cars though.

Ha, ha. BONE STOCK + DR's. That's awesome.
Next it will be BONE STOCK +DR's + drop in filter + open headers + stripped interior + remotely controlled + + + + + + +
Anyway, the Evo even being compared to the Z06 is a testament to its design. At least it has a recipe or mod path that is conceviably possible. But its still ricer math/logic and bench racing though.

I don't get the sarcasm. The car is BONE STOCK with different tires. I still consider any car in the world with different tires bone stock. No need to be tight-wadded about it. What will a bone stock Evo run with DR's?
As far as comparing the Evo to a Z06, it's no different than comparing anything else to it... You could have a Geo Metro with $30k into it and dust an Enzo, is that a testament to the Geo's design...? Who ever has the deepest pockets wins.

Good luck. Hope your dad gets it.
I like Black a lot and I want it but I'm afraid of the maintnence. I think I'm going with Red or Yellow.....still have time to change my mind though. LOL

Its the same with every car actually. Not every evo will run the same time even though they are identical. However, I do beleive lot of it has to do with the driver.

So I just dont see every stock z cutting those times.

That should give you about a 800-900whp daily driver on alky or race gas...
