HI evom buddies,

I was driving home from school and as I was crusing on the freeway, a mustang quickly chased me and got right beside me, first he gave me a thumbs up and then he wanted to go at it. I looked at him like what... then he guns it and takes off to show me how fast his car was and then a mile down, he turns on his blinkers. I was thinking to myself, wtf? My car only has 126 miles on it and i am going to baby it until it breaks in. But really, i was tempted to gun it as well but for the shake of my EVO and my driving records, I'll pass. Is there any EVO owners who own a 2005 -06 Mustang that is V8. I just want to know how they compare to my IX.

Amazing story.

Now, whatever you do, don't baby your Evo. That is not how it is meant to be broken-in. Be sure to boost and boost often, but just don't go beyond 5k RPM for the first 500-600 miles if you're really worried.

The brand new GTs are pretty fast on the roll... The new Cobra (or whatever they're going to call it) is going to be REALLY fast...

Warrtalon,
Trust me, I boost often and yes i stay under 5k....for now. The car is amazing so far.

I thought that to myself too, don't the v8 in the mustang have over 280 hps?

I have a lightly modded evo 8 and just before i left on my deloyment i was out, and i caught a light with a 06 mustang GT which was also lightly modded. we went from the light and i jump him by about half a car off start and held the lead... then we raced from a roll ( i dont remember how fast ). and he jumped me and held the lead.........so from what i read evo 9's are stronger than most 8's stock, so from a stop you should get him but from a roll it would be kinda close.... thats just my opinion though

unless ur running high 11's a civic hatch with $8,000 in it will WHOOP you! yea a pos "HONDA"! thats the one with the little "H" as the emblem!

300, actually, and 320tq. It weighs basically 200lbs more than the Evo, though, so if you have a couple of fatass friends with you, watch out

It is not hard to make a POS civic faster than a EVO. There is a red hatchback locally with a GSR 1.8L engine swap it's built and a turbo kit. I routinely runs 11.9's@123mph on street tires. The E.T sucks, but the trapspeed is good. All for 10K+3K beater hatch.

At least he gave you a thumbs up. What I don't understand is why he put his blinkers on. Did he think he beat you? A false sense because you didn't even try.
