srt-4 makes 512 pump gas 20 psi
The problem Evo owners have with Srt owners is the fact that Srt owners got near or the same performance for cheaper. Its the same reason why the owners of more expensive cars probably cant stand us either. It's a "nose in the air" thing us Evo owners do. we feel just because we spent more money on our cars they MUST be better, and it offends us when some car that costs so much less can compete on any level.

? Uh I hate to be the one to tell you but the evo and the lancer are very distinct cars. The entire drivetrain is different, the suspension is different, exterior is different (save for the front doors and the trunk) and the interior is somewhat different (namely seats and steering wheel). I really don't understand how the same logic can be used when the parameters are completely different. Adding fuel to the fire won't help your cause, if people don't want to respect an SRT-4, there is no way to make them. I have a friend who hates them even though he's never been in one and no matter what kind of argument you form it won't make him change his mind.
I could play the honda card and say you could have a faster honda than whatever evo you throw for cheaper.
Yea you forget alot of people me being one of them dont give two ****s about road coarse or SCCA. So yea way to take a car that is being built primarily for high end/ drag and try to argue that out of its element it wont be able to turn well, No ****. Theres some SRTs with stage 3r ( mid 300 whp) that are doing alright in some road racing events.
I've never seen anyone proposition someone to race on a back road to see who can turn better...for money. I'm sure it happens, but not enough to justify turning a car into a road course car to earn the respect of some evo owner on the internet.
I said a built 35r under full boost turning. Thats going to put out more then 500 hp.
If you want to compare apples to apples. Find me a 2.3 stroker evo with at least a gt40r turbo, killing it in the road course.
You post in the AMS section telling them there 9 second evo can't turn?

RWD>AWD>FWD
Look at sheps talon, at that level hes getting out launched by 5.0s. Although most of the time he can real them in by the 1/4. But there goes the very foundation of your AWD argument.
I'm pretty sure AMS uses their evo for road racing so I don't get your point there.
I agree that saying you can get 800hp for 15-20k$ is ridiculous, at least if you want to make that power reliability and consistently.
So that particular SRT-4 is good for 900hp?
A Honda is a Honda, sure they can be modded for cheap but I for one am not a big fan of them simply because they don't have that "grrrr" factor to me. I would still love to have a swapped hatch for racing but that's cause I'm poor.
I've also never seen someone propose a race from a roll where a car like this (very high horsepower, relatively limited traction) is king.
As for the original comment, I again don't get why you said it. Even SRT-4 guys agree that the evo is far more different from a lancer than an SRT-4 is to their respective partner. How this is relevant is beyond me. From what I can tell people were not bashing the car for being an SRT-4 but rather for being FWD.

For drag racing I would certainly agree with you but for track racing and everyday driving, I think RWD and AWD are very close.
Those are some nice #'s but it is hard to get traction to the ground even if you know what you are doing. Lately i haven't even found a SRT4 who can beat me but also i haven't found any good drivers withem either..
I haven't nothing against any car make/model. I just notice that most SRT owner are a$$'s and think their car can woop everything out there. Until someone puts them in their place. I am not going to take sides but i do favor the

cool my bro has a SRT-4 i personally dont like them maybe its the super low redline or the tiny turbo (im talking about stock) also i just cant get used to driving FWD. I race my s14 240 making 348whp @ 7700 rpm and 312torque@ 3200 rpm and weighs 2595lbs with me in it, i love it and i think i have enough power... well i dont wana get out of my class lol. Also i DD a 05 STi, i like all cars i was even thinking of making a Evo track car but i like the was RWD feels on the track compared to AWD. anyways sorry for going offtopic keep up the good work

Just to let everyone know that was on a base map 750cc injectors and 20psi of boost. The car will make close to 900 if not more. I am waiting on my tunner to come out and finish the tunning for me. I just wanted to share what I did and get some interesting comments from you guys. So keep them comming I really enjoy this.
