you have to remember that we are in the USA (most of us on this forum), therefore the "most important" type of racing here is drag. not many people (especially ignorant ones) care about how well the car turns or stops. the roads here are mostly straight, as the larger part of the country is flat. so as much props as the evo gets from various car enthusiasts. there's always a comparison that deals with it's 1/4 mile. it's a much easier comparison to make than say, how well it handles and performes overall. now, in the lil utopian parallel universe i'd like to call "touge", all cars would be compared based on their performance on some specific course. in that universe we, the evo owners, would get the last laugh seeing our cars hanging with the likes of exotics with 6 figure price tags.

Anyway, the upgrade didn't yield significant horsepower increase. And plus, the cobra might have more power so it's not a even level playing field... The evo got pwned!!

Go to that site then you will see the vid in there, just right click on it and then "copy to folder" and just copy it to your comp.

As was said, I'll try to contain the shock of seeing a 390 rwhp car beating an EVO in the quarter mile.

7K in mods with someone having a clue as to how to properly modify, will yield a 500 plus wheel hp evo on "pump gas."
Motec
Clutch
Turbo/Header
Cams
Tranny Build
Alcohol Inj.
FMIC
Turbo Back
Air Suction
Hell even a stroker kit...

I think that evo makes less than 340whp for sure even they did tune the ecu for race gas.... am i right>?
maybe with 370whp can take mustang down? how much whp does mustang has?

Hks Evc 5 EBC $600
S-afc 2 plus ecu harness $500
3" TB $600
Cat delete $50
HKS RS Intake $300
What was the Evo guy thinking when he called the Mustang out?

He's not just a Subi fanboi, he's actively and consistently campaigning against Evos on an Evo site. I hope I never become a big enough *** to do that on a Subaru site, and feel he's a good example to all of us for what "not to do" to other groups of performance car enthusiasts.
