Umm, no... no he wouldn't.
350z, s2000, RX-8, G35... probably...
335i... maybe, but that's all you will have him in is a 0-60.
It also depends on how much you value the life of your driveline.
Joe's Evo X... I can't wait to see your "Oh crap, where do I get an EVO X clutch" thread... Guys that think EVO's and STi's are meant for drag racing, and or invincible are just...

Sure they weren't meant for drag racing but the main argument you hear for our cars is "ya but you'd kill me out of the hole." His clutch may go soon, I guess thats his business on how he prefers to drive the car. I for one will not be looking forward to reading about anyones misfortune with their evos. Kinda whack.

I kind of find it humorous that X owners are just damned if they do or don't. People have been raising all kinds of hell about how it just wont put up decent numbers on the 1/4, so he takes it to the track and puts up some decent numbers for his elevation. Now its: oh man you're killing your car.

Man you would smoke all thoes cars. I took my Evo X to the track and hit a 1.9 60ft finished the 1/4mile at a 13.50 beating a camaro ss hooked up. He ran a 13.8. O ya this was 3600 ft above sea level. Also raced a New GTO from a roll starting about 25 and pulled 3 1/2 cars on him though 120mph. Thoes evo x are a low 13s second car at sea level stock.
You must have raced a 2004 GTO. The 2005 GTO has the LS2 Corvette motor and it would have walked away from you.

I have put 1-2 lengths stock EVO VIII's and one MR with my SRT-4 (AGP WGA and a TBE, only 255whp) from a roll... This is by far the cars weakest area (roll race)...

You make a claim that you ran 13.X and beat a Camaro.
Now, in this post, you say you probably won't go to the track until you get all your bolt on for the car

I call BS... no WAY in hell you pulled 3 1/2 cars on an LS2 GTO from a 25-120mph roll. Sorry cat, not happening.
I have put 1-2 lengths stock EVO VIII's and one MR with my SRT-4 (AGP WGA and a TBE, only 255whp) from a roll... This is by far the cars weakest area (roll race)...

Well you also got to think were 4500ft above sea level over here. So turbo cars and not as badly affected as he is. He started caughting me in 5 gear. And dont judge that Evo X until you been in one or raced one. There a lot faster then you think. I ran a camaro ss hooked up at the tracked once the launch was over he didnt gain at me at all down the track. We pretty much dead even from a roll. And that camaro ss wasnt stock. Think what you want but my boy is the owner of the GTO and he can tell you also.
kthxbye

It does seem difficult to accept an X pulling a big ol V8. Did you just own him in the bottom gears maybe? To me, the X feels a lot slower to 120 then the VIII's did. Christ, you have to flip into 5 at 110 now. I used to take 4th up to 120+. No doubt that the X is a strong car, given its weight, but displacement usually owns us at higher speeds.
