674RWHP Viper vs Evo
I just thought this would be an eye-opening video to share:
For the sake of bf.c rules, please note that the 318 flew by both cars OFF ROAD to the left...

Meh, 10 second Evos are a dime a dozen in D.C. Same with the STi. Those cars are just all the place, who cares. Most of them are low 11 second cars.
Show me a 8 second street Evo, then I'll be impressed. |

Show anyone any 8 second street car in person.......and anyone will be impressed. Being that my evo was set up very similar to that of the evo in the video (2.3 GT35r (61mm), 35psi on meth) which made 620whp/553lb feet. and i'm now driving a SC'd 620whp Corvette (or "American piece of shit") as many of you call it. I think there is something wrong or incorrect with one of the two cars in the video. Either the evo is running WAY more boost than 30psi OR something is wrong with the viper because the evo didn't just beat the viper in the video, it RAN from it. My vette is faster on the highway than my evo used to be.....and theoretically the viper in the video is faster than my vette. And an evo on a 63mm turbo running 30psi on a 2.4 wouldn't make more than an estimated 650-700whp tops. If the viper really does make 674whp then the evo in the vid had to be making at least 100whp more.....which cannot be done on 30psi on a 63mm. I'm not doubting the great kill in the video. But something doesn't ad up. just my .02

Fine:
^ 784AWHP. You know nothing, but act like you do. In order to pull an already 10-second-capable car in the Viper like that, the Evo would have to be at least 750AWHP, or at least in the mid 9's. Considering there are a number of street-legal 800+AWHP (up to 1000+AWHP) Evos running around the country, I can guarantee you that there are more than a few 8-second Evos around.

I'm not trying to get into a bitching war.
I'm just saying ANY 8 second true street car is very hard to come by. Quote:
I hear ya. And i believe the race.......hell i saw it with my own eyes. I am just questioning something with either one of the setups. It just doesn't make sense that an evo with that setup would yield those results against a viper making near 700whp. If someone asked me what a 2.4 liter evo with a 63mm turbo would make on the dyno at 30psi on pump and meth my answer along with many others who have a lot experience with evos would be roughly between 600 and 650whp. Either way, not enough to run from a viper on the highway with more power on the ground.

If that had been a BMW of some sort, you'd have been wiping the jizz off your monitor. Quote:
Also, "quite a few" is a relative term. I was using that relative to street-driven BMWs in the 8's, since you are acting so unimpressed, Mr. Mighty M3 Driver. Do YOU know of any [street-driven BMWs in the 8's] in the US?

Alright, cut the pissing contest and stay on-topic.
To pull a 700rwhp Viper like that from a pull at that speed, you're going to need A LOT of work.

For reference, here's a 10-second Camaro, vs a 700AWHP Evo:

And we're just talking about one model here (Evo). If we start bringing in all the other Mitsu models and their close cousins to bear (the DSM family), it gets even worse.

![]() Second, Mitsubishi copied the idea of the Evo (an AWD sport sedan w/ a turbo 4 banger) off of the WRX, so I give them little credit for originality. ![]() Thirdly, American Muscle still pwns everyone else when it comes to drag racing. ![]() No pissing contest here. All we have to do is whip out some real dragsters and everyone else will have to shut up. I have respect for any car that has hard work and effort put into it. My friend has a 430 whp Evo which is a pure blast to drive! ![]() Nevertheless Jap mobiles have a long way to go before they will top the numerous street legal American Muscle cars, which are in fact faster. After all, Americans were the ones that perfected the sport, everyone else is simply trying to be like us! ![]() Look up any funny car/ dragster races and you won't see any puny little Japanese motors in those competitions. ![]()

![]() The Evolution I (cd9a) was introduced before the WRX in japan.. nearly a year before actually in early '92. The basic WRX was released here in the states first, but the evo is not a wrx knockoff ![]() If anything, they are both knockoffs of the audi quattro (turbo + awd) released in 1980!

First off, the Evo I came out Sep. of 1992 in Japan, while the WRX officially debuted Nov. of 1992. On top of that, the Lancer Evo is based off the Galant VR-4, which came out in 1990--while Subaru was still hung-up on the Justy and the failed, automatic-only SVX. The owner speaks out: Quote:
