Evo 8

stangliter04 · November 1st, 2006, 09:39 PM

I raced a really nice looking Evo8 today a few times from a 60 and 40 roll (this was on a very safe road no cars were around) the first run from 60 I pulled on him really bad was pretty far ahead. then we went from a 40 roll which was not good with my 373's I had to shift right out of 2nd and I missed 3rd so he pulled a few cars untill around 80 where passed him again. (he did have 3 other people in his car) I ended up talking to the guy on one of the local forums he is putting down 330AWHP and has the mods to support around 400 he is just not tuned yet. he told me he never ran into a GT as fast as mine all the ones he raced he never had a problem with. overall very cool guy, and very nice car

cool cars, and nice kill

nice kill, i hate how those cars look i.e. big wing & other body stuff added, but i really love most everything else about them

a fast awd four door that can be easily modified and still be a practical car

itschristorres8 · November 2nd, 2006, 09:26 PM

that car is bad ass...i agree with SA tho...i think its pretty ugly/ricey looking

a fast fucker tho. but the turbo lag is horrible! Top gear did a special on it...it beat a lambo on the track but in top gear at low RPMS it lost to some shitty british car....if anyone wants i can find it...

All that "ricey $hit" as you call it is FUNTIONAL...

Good kill Ryan...

Look foward to seeing ya out when I get back...We gotta hit up the track then MPH later this summer...

I saw that episode. Clarkson had it in 6th gear from standstill.

Stupidest test ever. Anyone trying to get power out of ANY car at 500rpm shouldn't be driving, period. Evo's don't have bad turbo lag at all, you just need to keep them in the powerband - same with ANY car.

For a 2-liter engine those things are insane. Can beat lambos off the line, and windy road are just a laugh. Sure they don't have the wide torque curve of a 5-liter V8, but they don't weigh nearly as much, either.

yeah evo comes with turbo etc etc but 4cylinder .. most of all i hate the wings ... its so high ... you can make a swing on that

Its a 4-Banger that will runs 12's easily...

The wing is also functional so I dont have an issue with them...

Ride in one or drive one sometime and you will see...

That was just to put it in eco. mode. They are fast cars but you shift wrong one time and it goes into this gas saving mode and they can't be driven. They have brutal clutches and you have to really know the car to drive it well. Unlike my friend who just got one who got beat by my moms minvan cause he pissed her off
