Hey fellow evo lovers, I need your help.....this kid i know has a firebird with a 350 in it. and he has some stuff done to it. He said he wants to race me when i get my evo, i said no problem, we'll do it. But he doent believe me that u can have a street legal 9 second car or a 10 second car.. let alond an Evo....so i need your help with cars that run 9's or 10's. I would prefer if they were cars like the following, Evo's,supra's,Skyline's,talon's,eclipse's, or Audi's or BMW's nothign american please....so any info u could give would be great.

 

I don't think that any of those cars will run 9 or 10's stock. They all are capable of it though, I think, with some aftermarket engine upgrades.
A Skyline would be the closest.

By the way, I think that Talons are considered domestic.

I know this doesn't help much. oh well

 

Good luck getting any of those cars in the 9-10's AND being streetable. I have a Mustang that runs low 10's that is streetlegal and streetable though. Any 4-banger or 6 will take a ton of money and would be highly unreliable to drive on the street.

 

do u know anything about cars, a supra would eat your mustang and be more reliable,better on gas,handle better, and a talon is the same as an eclipse. And i know no car can do 10 or 9 stock but with street legal mod's

 

A stock EVO will run in the low 14's w/ a good driver, basing off the E5 and 6 times.

A mild modded Supra TC can nearly match a stock C5 vette (driver's race) in the 1/4 mile.

Skyline is too rare to qualify as the heavy weight in the 1/4 mile.

Supra can do it, but they must bang beyond 680 HP. Afterwards, they can hit the high 9's or floating in the 10 secs. The same for the RX-7 (3rd gen). Both cases, I do believe they have tubed their car out.

Talon is not really a domestic. It's a joint venture w/ chrysler to built it in an IL plant to produce DSMs.

I have seen a 10 sec, SC, early 80's 'stang, and it wasn't street worthy since it was tubbed out.

DSM will not reach 10 sec w/ tubing the entire car out.

The mid 11 sec car is do-able for street legal. 10 sec cars, you'll have to chop the engine bay out and replace it w/ tube framing. 8-9 sec, all tube frame. Physics!!

 

Thanks for clearing up the Talon for me Bahamut.

 

evo Vlll

this should answer your question on steetable megahorsepowered supras www.t04r.com

 

Not streetable by US law: the whole engine bay is chopped off and replaced by tube frame . . . the whole car is tube frame . . . a tubed out (completely gutted) car like a toyo starlet.

edit: oops. left out one word that means everything.
