EVO VIII

GreenFaleen · December 18th, 2006, 05:28 PM

Ok I have a friend just get an evo VIII he wants to run the 1/8 when the strip opens in April by then I'll be full bolt ons except headers and I will have gears and t-loc. You think I'll be able to take him I am leaning towards no but he is a mediocre driver and has never been to the strip before. I know the EVOs are picky to if they wanna be fast or an econo box. So I was wondering what you guys thought?

itschristorres8 · December 18th, 2006, 06:50 PM

its $500..if you really wanted to you could sacrafice the gears and t-lok..for a win
but i'd hold off unless your racing for some $$$

well gears and t-loc are going to be a b-day present so I'm pretty sure my dad won't be ok with nitrous.

ManThatStangs · December 18th, 2006, 06:56 PM

evos are quick but they have a tend. to bog if you launch anywhere below 5grand..... if you can get a good sticky launch you might have a chance... id suggest taking EVERYTHING out of your car "spare tire".. umm.. other seats.. any extra weight .. but who know .. im not gonna lie to you .. evos are quiiicckkkk...... DAMN JAPS!!!!!

ManThatStangs · December 18th, 2006, 06:57 PM

ive got a friend with one and im runnin a 50 shot.. and we ran on the interstate, we launched at 40 and ran 2 miles .. i murdered him after 3rd gear...

lol I've raced them before but they were highly modded running low 5s in the 1/8. If i take all my stuff out of the back though I would never catch traction I'm lucky to get it now.

Lt_Crazy · December 18th, 2006, 07:03 PM

like ^^^ said if u get a good lauch, considering u got most of u're bolts ons by then it could be an interesting race. If u really wanna win cut his fuel line

lol

ManThatStangs · December 18th, 2006, 07:04 PM

dude that would be the coolest way to cheat ever.

itschristorres8 · December 18th, 2006, 07:13 PM

a 50shot will be temporary for someone like you who wants more later

and you'd srry but taking out the rear seats, spare tire and jack and passenger seats might get you .2 off your times full bolt ons without headers you'll be around low to mid 14s gutted.
the evo will do mid to low 13s i believe
you gotta hope hes a bad driver and you gotta do your best
but hell ive seen drivers so bad they lose almost 2 seconds off there 1/4

check this out pretty neat find: and for what i can see pretty acurate:

GreenFaleen · December 18th, 2006, 07:19 PM

yeah I noticed it had nozzels up to 100 shot though. This guy ran a 12 in his 1/8 when he had a full bolt on 03 stang that was a stick. So yeah he did go to the track once with me I forgot about that.

ManThatStangs · December 18th, 2006, 07:24 PM

yah.. 50 is okay for me... i dont wanna do any damage...
