You asked if I ever drove an evo before and I said I have access to one. No more, no less.

I know but just pointing the obvious. However, it will at least suffice for now.

Holy pointless arguement batman!

A properly modded LS1 can easily achieve mid 11sec passes. Why the h*ll does it matter what mods he has? He has a 12 sec timeslip with the mods he stated and the numbers match on both slips.

It just seems pointless to me to run around comparing a rwd V8 vs an evo in the 1/4 mile. Let's face it, big displacement rwd cars are fastest in a straight line.

Skill, what does he stand to gain by lying to you?

Seriously guys, how can you call yourselves car guys and not give a great car and driver props on a great time? Seriously.

Please read the thread. Also the discussion was never about comparing the 2 vehicles. We were using them as a example.

Also I know big v8 are faster in a straight line that also was never the discussion.

The reason why i am curious is cause I know more powerful camaros and they arent running those times. Thats why I am wandering.

Thanks sasquatch, even though I don't consider myself having a big displacement motor. Anything over 396CI is big displacement to me but that's all point of view of course. Believe me, I was surprised with my times as well!

I know more powerful camaros also but rwhp isn't everything. You have to be able to hook as well. The setup and how everything works with each other is more important.

I know of alot of big rwhp camaros that arent running those times, but they are all on street tires (read: no drag radials or slicks) and no stall. The evo is proof incarnate that power is not everything, it's how you hook it up.

I read the whole thread and all I got was you callin BS every 5sec.

Oh, and for us evo owners anything over 2.3l is big displacement.

But seriously though, my buddies 454 corvette will tear your hair out.
