So are the EVO's any good at dragging?
 

Plain and simple.

Just curious if you can take the car a diff way if you wanted. . . ?

Currently guys are running 9s. If that's good, then yes.

EVO's suck at drag racing! If you want a drag racer, get a WRX :thumbdown



:beer: :lol:

:rolleyes:

Where have you been?

Whaddya wanna drag, dead bodies, live bodies, horses..??

Do you mean towing?

:lol:

Yeah, Wreck Rear aXle.

Kitty Kats ;<

Aren't you the guy who asked about the IS300 compared to an EVO?? Are you just going to ask a bunch of questions without reading all the threads or are you just a speculator?

I guess 9 second 1/4 mile times dont impress you. Or low 1.5 60ft times either.

Nah, I've read through quite a bit..maybe I'm just looking in the wrong place.


I just don't want to make the same mistake I did with my first car. Is that neccessary a problem?

please dont get an evo purely for drag racing.... it has potential, and the ability, but it will be totally wasted elsewise

If you want a good drag racer, why don't you put a custom drag suspension into a Pinto, and drop a twin turbo big block in there?

Whalla! Good drag racer.

werd.... and amen!!! awd vehicles have exceptional handling abilities, and although it provides immense traction that is beneficial to drag racing, you are ultimately killing the transfer case and hurting the drivetrain

There's an Evo 6 in my country from garage R that ran 9.86 secs...

NO NOS!!

Although the evos can produce some impressive numbers, I don't think they make fundamentally good drag cars for a few reasons...
One: They have a five speed manual. Sure, some pro drag cars do well with manuals, but each time you shift, you lose time on the strip.
Two: They have turbos. Coupled with the five speed, your power drops off pretty fast in between shifts, and it doesn't help to have a light-weight flywheel.
Three: They have all-wheel drive. While this helps with initial acceleration, it hurts the top end performance. In addition, its pretty difficult to warm up the tires like a rear-wheel drive car can do. I also don't see a lot of evos running big fat mickey-thompsons anywhere.
