Went for a Ride in Evo 2005

[Camvill]

well today i went for a ride in a 2005 evo and man let me say im having thoughts. I wanted to get a ls1 camaro but now im having thoughts of saving and waiting to get a evo. Car was fun to drive but then again i've never been in a 6 speed ls1 so idk.

[ryanfx]

well then imagine the pull at max spool you feel from the evo, now imagine more of that, now imagine that throughout the entire RPM's. That's a 6 speed LS1

[Mike]

yeah my bolt on fbody was running better times than a few well modded ones last night

have fun with your evo

[qwikz28]

get a evo

[Frosty]

They're fun but yeah...there are a couple around that try messing with me...you would think after getting spanked a few times they'd stop. Oh well. If they get faster then I'll just juice it :D

If I had a choice between an EVO and a 6-speed LS1 vehicle(whether it be a vette for fbody) I'd take the LS1

[misterjuice]

get a neon.

[jims69camaro]

get the ls1 and throw a turbo on it, right around 7-8 psi and see if you can keep traction. to each their own, but i think i'd rather have a platform i can continue to mod rather than one from the factory that's already max'd out.

[trashman01]

and dont the evos run out of air like mid track?

[WhiteTransAm]

u have an LT1 right now right?

think of it this way, that brand new Evo has the same horsepower as your 11+ year old camaro, and only because it COMES with a turbocharger

considering the LS1 is the next step up from LT1 and the LT1 is produces as much N/A hp as the Evo does boosted you gotta be smokin sumthin good to think the Evo is faster than the LS1

also for the price of a 05 Evo you could probaly find an LS1 car for enough less money money that you could throw a turbo on it and still be less money than the Evo and feel what a real engine feels like with boost

[GP99GT]

feel what a real engine feels like with boost

oh...i guess any engine under 5.7 liters isnt real, the 1.9 in my saturn must be a figment of my imagination

[unstable bob gable]

Evo STis are soooooooooooooooooooooooo played out. They are just as bad as Civics. They don't look good, they don't sound good, and they don't taste good. I know, 'cause I've eatin' a few w/ the AMX! :evil:

[Ian]

if you want a fast car, buy a Z28 and turbo it.

[Brando56894]

i remember when i was over at atco with some of the guys from here and a dude had an evo and he said he had like 80 grand into it and he was only running 14s, we then proceeded to laugh hysterically at him :lol:

[89CamaroRS]

evo's r an evolution in UGLY! ur a member of this board so you already have good taste, dont let it slip off. let us here no more of this heiracy.

[qwikz28]

oh...i guess any engine under 5.7 liters isnt real, the 1.9 in my saturn must be a figment of my imagination

CAMERO 4 LIFE!!!!111111:horse:

its a figure of speech and his point is legit. stop twisting around what he is saying. besides, we all know that saturns pwn all

[GP99GT]

the whole argument is dumb...which is why i did the :horse: thing

[Frosty]

i remember when i was over at atco with some of the guys from here and a dude had an evo and he said he had like 80 grand into it and he was only running 14s, we then proceeded to laugh hysterically at him :lol:

I think he was just being sarcastic, they run faster than that stock, lol.

[69BirdX]

I must say as much as id rather have a Ws6 but my buddies evo with nothing more then a flash was runnnin 12.9s at the track. I also beat my buddies wrx which has quite a bit of work. Im pretty impressed by those turbo 4 cyl. I hate sayin that ughhhhh

[Predator86]

It angers me how well theyve done with making the evo and sti's...but one good point made here is that these engines are already modded from the factory pretty much...again there is no replacement for displacement,

Sure this lil 4 banger is quick from the factory but unless you have alot of money ur pretty much stuck.

And like i always say...whats the point in having a quick car when it sounds like a lawnmower:lol:

[Mike]

I think he was just being sarcastic, they run faster than that stock, lol.

i think they actually WATCHED it run a 14......which means.....he was making shakedown runs, he didnt know how to launch, or he put on too big a turbo with not enough supporting mods to help it spool........

a modded evo can be a very fast car, but stock vs. stock, bolt on vs bolt on they have no shot

[Ian]

a modded evo can be a very fast car, but stock vs. stock, bolt on vs bolt on they have no shot

:stupid:

a chipped evo running 12.9 will get beat by a well tuned stock LS1 car. Hell, GMHTP got a 2001 SS to go 12.8 bone stock at 3600 lbs!!!!

he was proble a real ricer and DID have 80 grand in it

but the 80 grand was probly in a body kit, sound system, dvd player, paint job, vinyl and a new spoiler :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

cuz we all know how those things make inports so much faster :rofl:

[camaro2you]

Besides if you break and evo what are you looking at in costs to fix it, i think axles for those things are a few grand just for one, then you will go and break it again. But hey its JAP, what do you expect.

My buddies evo made me s**t myself. Im still V8 rwd any day of the week. Nothing can beat a nice pair of slicks and an ls1

The 4g63 motor has been around since the early 90's and parts are plentiful...... and the axles are not a few grand just for one.

Nice try though

get the ls1 and throw a turbo on it, right around 7-8 psi and see if you can keep traction. to each their own, but i think i'd rather have a platform i can continue to mod rather than one from the factory that's already max'd out.

The evo platform is far from maxed out from the factory

i remember when i was over at atco with some of the guys from here and a dude had an evo and he said he had like 80 grand into it and he was only running 14s, we then proceeded to laugh hysterically at him :lol:

This car has less than 40k into it:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=os7eKSAq-Y8

Yes he probably did say that and it probably did run 14s, but because some poser says that doesnt mean thats the end all say all of evos.

[WhiteTransAm]

ever here of saying wat u need to say in one post?

theres things called paragraphs which are used to separate thoughts, u dont need a brand new post for each new thought

[Blackwizard222]

Lets not forget what purpose the evo was built for...handling. An evo will out corner any fbody to date. Those who have taken an on ramp at 60 in one will know what I mean. No body roll, no tire noise, car feels absolutely stable, and it has power to pull itself out of the corners.

Yes an LS1 is cheaper and can be made faster in a straight line for a little less than an evo can, but the ls1 didnt come out until 97, the 4g63 motor has been out since the early 90s and used to be the ultimate cheap mod motor.

An evo with a boost controller and a few other bolt ons is fully capable of 12s and the mods cost just around the same as they would cost to get an ls1 to run consistent 12s.

Between the two, I would still take an fbody. Considering what an ls1 z28 can be purchased for vs. any year evo, Ill take the ls1.

[Blackwizard222]

Sorry I'm not familiar with these so called paragraphs, but apparantly you are since your post is gramatically and structurally correct........

I put them into one large post for you. That better? Maybe we can get that sand out of there now....

[Mike]

i didnt know mitsubishi used the evo as the factory sports car.......thats right they dont.
it was built to satisfy production requirements in wrc racing.....

And being a rally car it was built to handle.. Thanks for reinforcing my point.....

[12secondv6]

I think the evo's and sti's are bad ***!!!!!

[3rdGenLT1]

ya my friend has 93 trans am "lt1" and my other a 05 evo and the lt1 beats it by a length so a ls1 def takes it

[Brando56894]

he was proble a real ricer and DID have 80 grand in it

but the 80 grand was probly in a body kit, sound system, dvd player, paint job, vinyl and a new spoiler :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

i cant remember if the body was stock or not but i do remember he had some pretty ricey stuff in the interrior :lol:

[Blackwizard222]

No one is doubting that stock vs. stock the Ls1 beats the evo.

[Mike]

if by handle you mean slide and drift and all the crap they do around turns on a rally course, yea i guess your right, but your comparing it apples to oranges to a f-body if you want to compare handling

[Mike]

i guess im jaded because ive watched an evo that was trying to run around a little parking lot course we had back in the day.......all the other cars made it through (im talking acura tl's rsx's a couple civics...nothing that should handle that great) and this evo smacked a curb and ended up being totaled.

[Predator86]

Does anyone here know how much psi the EVOs turbo runs at from the factory?

[1_Hot_SOM_WS6]

Oh man...didnt you read the thread that I posted up about my new DD? If you didnt notice...it got pretty crazy in there...and thats just my DD. lol. Well whatever you decide....good luck with it :wink: I'd stick with an LS1 if I were you...but thats just mo.

[Blackwizard222]

if by handle you mean slide and drift and all the crap they do around turns on a rally course, yea i guess your right, but your comparing it apples to oranges to a f-body if you want to compare handling

All that sliding and drifting has a lot to do with handling. Im comparing apples to oranges with an fbody in handling as you guys are comparing apples to oranges with straight line performance in an evo.

[Wasted Youth]

then when it snows more then 3 inches we'll see who has to catch a ride to work. I would take my 05 legacy gt over my gta any day. gta is obviously alot faster in the straight line but the legacy is more comfortable to drive, most girls like it better, it handles better in the rain, drives better in snow...took it to jay peak a couple times with no problems. even got 20-30 mpg city and highway. Put 60k miles on it in 2 years...i replaced 2 tires, 2 low beam bulbs, 1 rear wheel bearing, rear brake pads and it got its 30k svc and tire rotations every 6k miles...other then doing maintenance i never had a problem. I have friends with sti's, one in particular had turbo back exhaust, a modified stock air box (took the resonator out) and flashed it with the cobb ap and ran 12.4...if you know how to drive and mod the car correctly you won't have a problem but he sold it in for an evo tr bc he races autocross...and you guys talk about breaking axles...i guess you forget how weak the 10 bolt is. Put slicks on your stock 4th gen and dump the clutch at 4k rpm and see what happens to your rear or driveshaft. Just like you would swap your rear, you can get stronger parts for imports too...it's funny because the whole import axle thing is pretty stereotypical just because we've seen hondas break axles all imports must. To each his own that is why everyone is different it's a matter of opinion.

[fastback79]

Most importantly, the evo is NOT going to get you laid.:mrgreen:

[Jared1970Chevelle]

the evo only feels fast...i know a few kids with stock ones to 11 second ones.... they are very misleading....they "FEEL" fast cause of the AWD and turbo boost..... besides they are maxed out from the factory.... a ls1 with a couple bolt on's would destroy um... my buddied 98 camaro ls1 with a maf upgrade,intake,tune, and full exhaust destroys 95% of them out on the road

[mtnhopper1]

Does anyone here know how much psi the EVOs turbo runs at from the factory?

My co-worker has an 03 evo that runs 19psi on the street. He cranks it up to around 24 psi when he takes it to Poconos or Watkins Glen.

Not sure what it runs stock, but 24 psi is just sick.

[Noodles]

AWD FTL

you will not have fun... doing anything...but having traction

[jims69camaro]

:rofl:

no car is going to get you laid. sorry to jump in here with the truth, yet again. however, some people have a certain attitude when in their car, so that may contribute to the amount of split-tail they get.

this is a very interesting discussion. however, this is an F-BODY MESSAGE BOARD. now, imagine how it'd go over if i went over on an EVO board and started talking about my f-bodies... i would get flamed beyond belief. why should it work one way and not the other?

so... like it's already been said, if you want to talk about your imports, go to an import board.

[Batman]

I think you're comparing apples and oranges. They are 2 totally different cars with 2 totally different purposes in mind. My vote is LS1 all the way but there are an awful lot of 10 Second EVO's up my way. I'm not a big fan of it for alot of the above said reasons, I think it is ugly and yes, they cost a fortune to modify and are pretty high strung right from the factory. However on an autocross course I would pick it to drive over an F-body anyday, it is a very nice machine but I just prefer American pushrod power.

With only a few minor mods for my suspension- adj shocks/struts, STB, LCAS, and SFCs, i have taken offramps at 60mph with none of those symptoms, and at the track, 60 footed better than most evo's/sti's ask 86formula about that, he'll tell ya. Mickey thompson street radials for me = no advantage for the AWD's on the street/strip. Im not saying im the fastest thing out there by any means, but i know what ive seen/experienced. and by no means am i a NOOB

The import scene is big.... it is only going to get better....american manufacturer's have strong competition.... there are many better choices out there than american cars.

:nod:

[jims69camaro]

there are many choices out there

better. you can't say as a fact that one is better than another. for every instance of someone else's opinion (car mags, testimonials, owner feedback) that you find in support of imports, i can find one in support of american cars.

i would also have to say that since the japs have more than 50% of the market, that the aftermarket is either going to have to recognize or go out of business. that's just simple logic. so while you say that the import scene is taking off, i say that the aftermarket is playing catch up. the import scene saw great leaps and bounds several years ago. not so much today.

Alright let me explain. My quote was not been meant to be taken literally, unfortunately it has been. The Evo may be big among the import scene, but to the rest of the nation the Camaro gets much more respect. Are these imports going to keep their value in ten years, I seriously doubt it.
