Whether you beat him or not, at the end of the day, he's gonna drive home in an Aston Martin and you'll leave in an EVO. I'm not saying this to put anyone down, but I'm sure he didn't spend all that money on 1/4 mile speed, so comparing a modded evo to a stock DB9 is kinda ghey.

Should be an interesting race though.
I agree. I'd rather have the Aston Martin. But I can't afford one. I think the point here is that the DB9 owner said he would rip the Evo a new A-hole... he's the one that threw down the challenge. Obviously a challenge from someone who does not know that the Evo is a purpose built machine and that purpose is performance. DB9 beats the Evo in many areas (luxury, sex appeal, even top end) ...but not overall performance.

Still I want to see the video as these are two of my favorite cars. One I can afford, the other I CAN'T!!

Waiting Patiently.

If your car isnt flashed, make sure it is....From looking at the 1/4 mile time im guessing you are. also why arent you running like 23psi on the street.

There's a video of an evo racing an austin martin on youtube if you guys are curious. I'm not going to post it because I'll probably get banned (it's street racing), but I'm just saying it's there...

Just saw the video on youtube. The first run, the Evo wins, but on the second, the Evo takes the whole, bu then 4-5 seconds after, the Aston pulls on the evo. Mayb the evo slowed down?

Thats because it took the evo like 6 sec. to get to 60. They take off around 57 sec and he goes into third, from what I can tell by listening, at 1:03. The car isn't as fast as you think it is. It is heavy and can get to over 170 but in quick bursts I don't think it will impress anyone.
