FYI: As far as Euros go you can beat most of them stock for stock with the exception of any Mercedes Benz with AMG or McLaren in the name. My coworker has an E55 AMG, supercharged v-8 w/ around 470hp factory rating. It also weighs close to 4k lbs. So jokingly i invited him to the strip a couple weekends ago, to my surprise he actually took my invite.
At the track, his first time there, he was lining up against and beating C6 vettes, 03+ Cobras, among others. Most people, including myself, couldn't believe what he was running let alone that he was actually tracking a ~$80k car. The thing is plush but can run consistent 12.5s with a slush box! The glove box is heated/ air conditioned for crying out loud!
whatever i thought it was a funny story...

But I know stock to stock evo > skyline or supra The Nismo GT-R34 ( around 325-330 HP ) got a 1/4 time of 11.99 on a video I saw severals years ago , but I don't remember the trap speed . And yeah it's a stock car , as the MR version of the Evo .

The power is there, but it's going to run out of gearing. 
The same probably holds true for the Evo, because I believe they have a 4.xx gear ratio.
Start modding, and it's anyone's game, however, in the end, the cars with the displacement are the ones that are going to win. "There's no replacement for displacement," once it comes down to mod for mod.

I have always hate the PT loser, and now i hate it even more.

although he doensnt know hes in for a suprise, i was questioning who else can i take advantage of?

. So take him out the the drag way, stage up, rev up build some boost (or use the 5K limiter if you have an 05), use proper launch techs (search), and you will own him by a sec or so.

Warrtlon from your first reply about "Acuras - Not NSX"
From my understanding NSX does about the same stock quarter mile time as stock Evo's.
Are the newest ones much more powerful, or something?

As time went on, and power was increased, they would eventually clock in around 12.90-13.20.
Either way, for $90,000, they're major underachievers.
