Took a ride in a ~500hp evo 9!!

[Mr. Rustypwnz]

DAMN!! Ive never rode in anything that was all wheel drive and spun through 1-2nd, 3rd gear pulled like a jet, absolutely awesome that a 4g motor can make that much power...

car has:
big tubular manifold
bigger fmic
e85 (1200cc injectors)
gt35
and other bolt ons


thats by far the fastest ive been to 120 ever on 4 wheels... my mustang needs to step it up a few notches lol

 

[5.0Droptop]

Dont compare it to mustangs. I bet it will flat out move though!

 

[Mr. Rustypwnz]

yeah ever heard of fathouse? he's in franklin..

 

[1991notchbackLX]

500 HP and 138 ft/lbs of torque haha

yeah ever heard of fathouse? he's in franklin..

I actually met him once through some friends. He has been into imports and mustangs as well. I know he has had some fast cars.

When I saw him he was a big guy.The name kinda fit him.

 

[Mr. Rustypwnz]

yeah, he's pretty funny. he has a low 10 sec white evo...

friend of mine has a evo 8, 2.3 stroker, gt4088r, dual pump setup with e85, 1600cc injectors and some BC3 cams ( ill have to double check that ) pushing ~600 for now and that bish moves. and your right, nothing like all 4 wheels spinning through 1st, 2nd and 3rd lol.

You talkin about fathouse from IC? I've seen he does some excellent welding work.

Evo's are very quick cars...but his is just nuts!

[Mr. Rustypwnz]

wait you on indy carz?

 

[Mr. Rustypwnz]

**** evo's

i used to make fun of em too, but ya know fast is fast..

 

[94gtfreak]

Yeah but not very often.

 

[blackened88lx]

**** evo's

Exactly. Biggest joke ever. Most inefficient pile of ****. A 500whp Evo is slow as balls. Nothing like spending $70k to go 11s, break everything and look queer.

i used to make fun of em too, but ya know fast is fast..

That's the thing, they're not fast

 

[1991notchbackLX]

**** evo's

i agree, i just didnt want to start a debate earlier

 

[ID89GT]

They are a spendy car, but look pretty nice when they are all done, and can be pretty quick. But imo its just a different version of a WRX

Man I've drivin turboed 5.0 cobras, Supercharged built 5.0's Whippled CTSV's, ZO6's and Still the fastest car I've ever Drivin has to be a fully modded EVO. That was the only car I've really been intimidated by. No doubt they cost a ton to mod and I still wouldn't trade my car for a evo ever, but when built right they flat out rip.

Not true at all a evo is so far above a WRX it's stupid maybe you mean STI. It's like comparing a A 03 GT to a 03 cobra.

 

[ID89GT]

Ya STI is what I meant lol

 

[Gearbanger 101]

SOTP fast is one thing....but is it really making 500whp and running low-10's, or is that just what the owner is telling you? I hate to break it to ya, but import guys have been known to exagerate on occasion.

I would bet its closer to 300-350whp and rungs low-12's based on the mods you described above...but its all talk in either direction until you've got timeslips and dyno sheets to back it up!

...and I agree with the others EVO's are overrated.
