new guy on the block

Wuts going on guys? My name is Chris and I'm picking up my Evo 9 this weekend. Right now I drive an 04 Saturn Ion Redline (full boltons, nitrous, tune) and best run was 13.4 @ 112 w/o clutch and bottle heater . So I am very happy to get away from Fail Wheel Drive lol. Ive loved the Evo's ever since I saw one so I cant ****ing wait

But here's a video of my Saturn:

Chris (aka Casper.)

it all depends, I would say you would pick up anywhere from 50-70 with a good tune.

hey man welcome. congrats on the new car. i remember the first day i picked mine up and the smile it gave me. i also remember swearing it was plenty fast and i would leave it stock...that last a lil over a month. with just very minor mods (MBC, tune, filter, TBE, fuel pump etc..) you should be able to get into the 12s with a good launch. i only autoX so i cant tell you times from personal experience. either way gl and congrats!
