I feel that spraying is cool if you prefer that. I thought about it too. BY the way I totally agree with the statement about draging the Evo being a waste of a car all the time. Ferrarokid, maybe you would be interested in going down to Summit point in august. Let me know.
I too dont have the budget for fancy ****, as it is im broke , so props to all "budget" racers! We really need to start a metro area Evo club.
If tommy or i wanted to abuse the **** out of our tranmsissions with power shifts and side step launches - then we also could run a bit faster

Its better to be safe than sorry

I didnt need to flog the car and still i am the quickest

Its easy to talk the game - go out and walk the walk then I'll belive what your claiming

Al, go to Summit Point and prove your walk! Its easier to go straight than to be on a roadcourse. by the way, Terry dont sidestep or powershift. Come on, meet me at Summit Point and well settle this out. Remember that no matter how quick 1/4 mile times are, these cars were designed for a different track.

Ok, I feel very very strongly that nitrous is such a cheap way to go. I garuantee I will pull a 11.9 within the next week WITHOUT any nitrous. It's great to see people trying new tnings and I praise all of you for trying that, but I really dont think nitrous is the way to go with a Evo VIII. I just think nitrous ruins the entire rally reputation and prestige that goes along with owning an Evo. But hit 11's all motor and thats impressive... by the way thats on the stock intercooler as well, so all of you people who say the IC isnt very good, this is proof the IC can hold over 400whp. Anyways, sorry Im not trying to be a dick, just sharing my own opinions.

Bro - please put down the crack pipe before you start posting on here!

There is no "prestige" in owning an evo - its an overpriced jap crap econo box with mega speed - - its only saving grace is the extreme perfromance for the $$$

If you want prestige - get a bmw or benz

Why are you insulting me for posting my opinions, I didnt direct this post at anyone, I have no idea why you are getting so defensive about the nitrous comment. But I can almost garuantee that everyone on this site disagrees with you saying there is no prestige owning an Evo. I've gotten more attention in this car than a old man in a Turbo Porsche. To call it a "Jap crap econo box" puts down the entire reputation of evo owners as a whole. It seems that for a product to have prestige in your opinion, it must posess a high price... this is not the case. Again, relax on the posts.. no one is trying to upset you or insult you.

Congratulations to Tommy and Al for running good times and mph.

I'm trying to crack 11's without spray, stock turbo, stock cams. I know I'm not gonna have the high mph like some of you other guys, but I'll be in the 11's.

BTW, I agree that side stepping the clutch or power shifting is bad. There's something about power shifting that bothers me, especially with a cable shifter. The Evo's shift action is quick enough in that you don't need to power shift it.

They actually go around corners too if you ever take the time to try.
Why don't you just buy a big train, hook it up to a rocket booster, and challange all the other train drivers to a straight line race.......

By extreme performance - I mean corners and stopping also - just becuase my car is Ferrari fast dont mean it isnt set up to out handle a stock evo also !

Just wondering who will be driving your car in that 11.9 run? I know AMS hit 12.0, but that was with an extremely skilled "DSM" driver. What are you at for hp at the wheels? Cause I was under the impression that the stock IC and turbo were damn near maxed out at around 350-360 whp?

So you planning on hitting 11's with an ALL MOTOR EVO???

Was your EVO a special order from the dealer in an All motor setup? Whats up with this setup and are you retarded wheres the turbo?

1)Check your numbers 400 at the wheels???
2) Not rally racing here....drag
3) Al never hid the usage of bottle...if he did maybe then I would call it "CHEAP"
4) Hope you achieve 11's...good luck (being sincere)
