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

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

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

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.

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

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!

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

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

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

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

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!!!!
