Evo VIII MR vs. stock fd3s
so, I just bought my fd about a month and a half ago, with a new rebuild (dealership had it rebuilt as it was blown when traded in). just got my engine broken in, gave it an oil change, so naturally I was out cruising. this guy pulls up next to me in an evo, says he just traded his subie for it, and wants to see what he's got. so I was like HELL YEAH!!! we went out of town, to the very last stoplight, and wait for it to turn red. I set my revs @ just over 4 grand, and wait. light changes, and he's off like a bat out of hell. I get through second, grab 3rd, catch him before the end of 3rd gear, and by the end of 4th gear I had him by at least 4-6 car lengths (according to the guy behind us, who's in my car club) and just kept walking away in 5th. I thought for sure that thing was gonna kick my ***. I love my car.

you ever thought that maybe he let off, and are your for sure it was like 5-6 cars. Good kill, but I think you were just caught up in the momment. My boy has a right hand drive 3rd gen. V-mount intake down pipe full exhaust custom 3inch pipes coming off the turbo into the v-mount and the greddy elbow coming off the throttle body to the v-mount.

Oh **** my bad I pressed post before i was done. But anyway what I'm saying is that my boy with his FD ran an Evo MR from a dead start, he bairly got the MR by one car if not a half. And on top of the that the evo is 4 wheel drive so he had the whole shot, the fd had to play catch up, now that was a good run. I don't think your bull shitting but hats off to ya

yea thats bs, my car is running 13.0's and i had to play catchup like a **** to pass one, and only beat him by a car maybe not even. i definately dont believe this, i've seen stock fd's get creamed by regular evo's.

from a dig i dunno. but u have to think of it like this, Evo has 276 hp, so im guessing its getting 230-245 to the wheels with awd loss ( i could be wrong) and the FD stock gets 225. Fd is lighter by almost 400lbs, so maybe Fd could stay with or pull on a eVO on a roll. but it will struggle. A 300 whp Rx-7 though will easily beat a evo from a roll.

Nice kill. I don't know about the amount of car-lengths, but if you pulled past him at the top of third-gear, and then kept going through all of fourth gear and into 5th ? 
That's a full-on, all-gear race... I'm not suprised that once the AWD lost it's advantage the FD pulled and kept pulling.

No ****... I dont even like racing that fast... Ill beat you to a hundred, but midway through 4th or so is as fast as I wanna go on the street. Good kill though, I love EVOs,Id prbably trade my FD for one. And I might, theres a III running around for sale that is catching my eye.

Well, he did say he pulled on him in 4th gear, which is above 100 mph.
I'v driven a bolt on evo pretty hard, and I remember that once I hit triple digits it definitely ran out of steam.....

A stock VIII MR v. a stock FD should be a VERY close race, but with a good launch the Evo should win. By telling us that you pulled 4-5 lengths you are only showing us that you are exaggerating, or that the Evo didn't have a decent driver.

^^ it would take a person with down syndrome to loose by 5 car lengths in an mr... although, i do rememebr hearing stories of people running 14's even 15s with stock evos when i was an owner and part of evom.net. like south park said this season... "1/4 of all americans are retarded."
