What is your problem? Is your life really that bad where you have to be so negative to everyone/thing?

I haven't done a thing wrong and your go off on me. The evo does not dyno stock at 270whp-280whp. I "camp" evo boards because i'll likely be getting one soon, and therefore i want to know as much as possible about them. Is that difficult to figure out? Quit being an internet tough guy.

If I wanted to see posts similar to the above quote, I WOULD go to the SRT forums.

 

If you 'camp' on the Evo boards, you would know the new Evo9's do indeed dyno anywhere from 260-270whp on Dynojets.

Anyways, I came from the same transition. I came from a 1999 Honda Civic automatic that I drove for 4 years into my Evo9 and I was pretty intimidated by the power it wielded at first. I think my car is slow now though lol. I had the concept of how to drive stick but never applied it before, needless to say, I learned how to drive stick in my Evo. Everyone stalls when they first start learning so don't kick yourself. I stalled it a few times, although not as much as you have lol. Its been a month already of driving stick for me and its a pleasure driving this car. In due time, you'll wonder how you had trouble to begin with.

The best advice I can give you is learn the 'catch' point. At a standstill, put it in 1st and slowly let out the clutch until you feel it starts to 'grab' and don't add any gas whatsoever. When you feel your car struggling, push in the clutch again and try again a few times so you get the feel for it. Try to remember the sweet spot as that is where your clutch engages. Then add a bit of gas while slowly letting out the clutch, you'll have it in no time.

 

I really don't see a problem doing it. If you are stalling that much then try to find a different manual car to practice on for a week or so. It's really not difficult.

Warrtalon, the SRT has more tq/hp off the line than the evo during normal driving anyways, so don't give me this crap about how EVO's have 40-50 more whp. Even if he revved up to 3k he'd only be around 105whp. Just don't dump the clutch or feather it for too long and you'll be ok. Rev to 2k and slowly let out clutch.

I've only seen one dyno of an evo 9 at 26Xwhp stock, the rest have been below that. If we want to talk about what some random fluke dyno people have gotten for stock dyno's then i could probably find an SRT that has dyno'd near 245whp stock. Doesn't mean much.

 

I don't think Warr's point was that the Evo has more power than the SRT, since I don't think anyone will seriously claim they are a similar car (stock to stock) beyond being turbo'd. In my driving experience, there really isn't much comparison once you get moving. The point is that learning to drive stick on a high performance car like an Evo is like learning to walk before you can crawl. As others have said, Mike should probably have learned on a beater before trying to handle the complications of driving stick on an Evo. Personally, I recommend stalling a 93 Toyota Tercel a few times to get the hang of diving manual... but that's just me.

 

You're not from Jersey by chance are you? I keep seeing this brand new IX MR on i287

 

Not everyone has access to a manual car. I understand the point, I guess I just learned exceptionally fast.

But i concur, if you are not getting it, and it seems that you're not, then try to find a lesser car to practice on.

 

Hehehe, welcome to the boards....and congrats on your awesome car!!!!! I don't know if I should laugh or worry, but my "other half" will one of these days learn to drive a manual from me, and yes she will be learning on the IX.

 

5k studderbox and dump it

 

New to the thread, campn since 05??
