i believe most people will give props to the evo and similar cars (WRX STI) for being hideously modeled, but having the performance to back it up the looks (hell, some people might even like their looks :p)

i wouldnt buy an evo, but i have no doubt of its performance abilities


edit: oooo, i noticed my R1:heart: toasted that evo:D

I don't think anybody considers EVOs or STIs to be slow.

Ugly, yes. But not slow.

Oh and they are both factory rice.

There's only so many times you can watch the same bit of action from different angles and at different speeds before you mentally mark the video as boring.

I'm not too into drag anymore, but that EVO was pretty quick. Especially off the line.

the Typhoon, or an evo.

stock for stock

Typhoon has 260HP, which was great 10 years ago. It does about 14.2 in the 1/4.

Nice vid, decent opponents, especially the cobras...how much on top of stock does a car like that cost?

Nah, that'll slow it down to however fast you can push. 25PSI on pump gas doesn't go well on factory engines. Now, 25PSI on pump #2 is stock... :)
