2002 Firehawk, SS, and WS6 will be VERY HARD races to win if both cars had good drivers. I would have to give the kill to the LS1's evos are fast but the VIII's (13.5) arent that fast. I have witnessed many LS1's bone stock dipping 12.9 stock (2002).

Our clutches are not designed for drag, Remember rally inspired,If the EVO was made to drag it would rwd........... AWD sucks for drag the drive line is not made to slam gears in a straight away really
awd cars do great in drag racing. Evos are also great for drag racing. yes they werent designed for it but they do good at it

Yep, you're right...these would be a very tough one, but VIIIs don't run 13.5. They only run that with an improper launch or slow shifting. The 03/04s were a little slower on average, but 05s run 13.0-13.1 pretty easily. My stock 13.1 was with an "improper" launch, too, because I didn't know about the 5k limiter. With a 1.7x like I always have done since disconnecting it, I would have been looking at a 13.0 or 12.9.

You say you've seen many bone stock ls1's run 12.9 stock, but I've never seen one. In fact, I see LS1s have trouble hitting 12.9 with exhaust and intake. I personally destroyed one by a full second even though he was on Drag Radials. Bad driver? Maybe, but that's far from witnessing "many" run 12.9 stock. That's a rarity, though possible...like it is on 05 Evos.

well why not the sti"? It really depends on the driver on that one, and i have raced a stock mid to late 90's NSX and for the money I would never buy something that I can beat with my stock 03 evo 8 for 80-90K

- All Hemi-Dodges

There's many more, I'm sure

On the flipside, you will lose to many of those from a roll, which doesn't count, since that's not a form of racing I'm familiar with.
i'd think an ls2 gto would be damn close, especially with the 03-04 evos

The STi is even.

As for the NSX, who cares how much it costs? I'm just telling him cars that he can expect to beat from a dig in stock form. Since the NSX can run 13.0-13.1 stock, I consider it even like the STi.

Just posted up in Chitownracing.com many will tell you. I have a 98 Ls1 ran (a4) 13.6 people thought it wasnt possible to do that with my year I laughed (13.8 is very very average). I belong to MFBA.ORG as well been to many meets and witnessed 4 hit 12.9 - 13.0. I'm just speaking in my area (chicago). Dont forget that the New mustangs as well been dipping 13.0-13.1 as well I wouldnt say many though. However, 2002 ls1's are the strongest running year of the fbody. I havent seen a EVO hit 13.1 yet bone stock hope this is possible with my car.

No...maybe against 03-04s, but not vs 05s (or 06s).

Yeah, I haven't seen a stock GT get anywhere near 13.0-13.1.

Your Evo can hit 13.0 stock if you're a great driver.
