91 egt vs evo 8

[P-rotege]

The F**King Quick 400 gets a 6 too. That thing is a straight track car no more no less. That article says the FQ400 is rediculously expensive for an evo, but what other 4cyl can you think of that can lay shame to lamborghini straight from the factory, and still be street legal? I'd buy it

[Vash00es]

Dude come on, i dont see that car hitting mitsu dealerships in the US anytime soon

And i still have my motor trend magazine were they tested the sti and evo head to head, evo was slightly better in the corners, but the sti killed it in teh quarter and top speed

Oh and the only reason its faster then a lambo is because it has jacked up gear ratios, alrigth look at the top speed on that MR Quick 400 or whatever it is... it only has a top speed of 175 mph... lambos can go 200

[ThatCarGuy]

Nah, that is a track car as much as a spec C is a track car... and the spec C isn't coming out anytime soon either...

the FQ400 even comes with a 3 year factory warranty...

besides, if you want to talk about fastest_subaru_eVar, you must bring up the 22B, no the stripped out spec C

It's always a game of gearing when you have a engine like that, I know that, but c'mon man, you know that's still pretty damn cool for an evo to keep up with a $200,000+ lambo. All the evo's are geared super low, their made for acceleration, rally, that type of stuff, AWD isn't optimum for top speed anyway. I'm not getting into the comparison of evo / wrx, they're both cool in my book. STI or RS/MR/VIII would all own any of my cars...

[FazdaBoy4ever]

I own an EVO RS...this story makes my head hurt. He must have not even noticed you. The EVO is so much faster than my BP 323, I don't even know where to point out your inaccuracies. a BPT 323 wouldn't stand a chance...

wow this thred got big fast... start pointing out inaccuracies... its only a paragraph, saying that is just a cop out like the rest of these guys but doesnt proove or show me anything...

no the guy knew we were going.... when we got onto the freeway he was pulling on us and we were doing 90... so you are morons to say that he probably didnt think we were going, also why would he only be half into it... i personally stick to my all or nothing rule, why race a slow honda with half i have... only to beat him like i didnt have a turbo, the whole point of racing is to show that your car is fast and far superior

he flew into the corner before us thus the reason my cousin got onto it... and he was onto it.

also i understand the acceleration of a fast car morons... unlike many of you responding i have a turbo bp myself and while i know im no rocket i do understand what shifting slow and not launching can do to a time... shifting slow on the street could easily add a second to a qt mi time if not more that would put him. Also as i mentied i have a turbo and he pulled all of 2nd. and it was nothing special, ive seen a video of a 12 second dsm driving by a super fast corvette, the vette took off, and let me just tell you, it was MUCH more impressive than this... the dont even compair... infact using that story was a waste of time because they are like egt vs viper differance. now let me rephrase that moron comment, because i do know that some of you do have quick cars, it was more of a joke than anything. but your all talking to me like i dont know... i know...

also there were 3 people in his car and 2 in the egt.

ALSO i never said we won and i never said we were pulling on him i just said my cousins eibach/tokico/hancook setup kept up with an evo in a corner... corner being much more of a driver skill than a car ability keeping in mind... anyone can buy a fast car and make it go fast down a straight line, but its the driver that can get it through the corner quick...

and with that last comment of mine it just showes that the people in that surf this section are one trackminded street (straigh line) racers... if mazda racer was here (not saying he would not be like you guys) but he would understand that a stock a1 GTI with suspension mods could outcorner an evo... and you all call me stupid... im done, seems i have destroyed my name in this section... ill leave you all to your girly straight line racing... see you in the twisties

[Vash00es]

If your talking about the low 13 second DSM Vs the so Called "Lingenfelter" Corvette video i posted awile back ( which wasent even a lingenfelter ) , then i understand where your coming from

And you said slow shifting whatever can add huge time to a quarter? well guess what, the dude coudl granny shift like you stated, and the evo would still be a low 14 second car, is this guyus EGT a low 14 second car? DOes it have AWD? Can it outhandle a evo in the corners, can it pull 1 g on a skidpad?

[94GLD-DX]

I cant believe people still talk about these cars. They are WAY over hyped. To me they are nothing special. Yea they might be fast, yea they might look ok. But who the hell cares. Why waste your time talking about cars that have nothing to do with what this site is about? Yea so he raced an EVO. Reguardless if the EVO was trying or not, he was still keeping up with him, somehow. Seems like everytime I hear about a race against an STi or an EVO, it always wonders off into which is faster, the EVO or the STi. Everyone has there own taste. Anyways, just my 2 cents

[b-potent]

I'm sorry but this is stupid. You guys worship every other car besides the one you have, whats the point of being on the site? Yea they deserve credit, where credit is due, but to sit here crackin on the bp has ticked me off. I'm sorry but my friends turboed bp mx-3 would destroy a ****in evo and has. Mine should also fare well against evos and sti's once it is finished. Comparing a 13 yr old car to a new 2005 top of the line sports car isnt really fair. For what the escort is being n/a, keeping within reasonable distance of it is respectable. I really dont see why half of you got a mazda and are constantly modifying them if you have wet dreams about the 4g63t,sr20det,b18c5,etc. I'm hoping some of you have aspirations of running faster than 14sec track times, which is easily feasible with b series mazda motors. I just dont see why you guys are crackin on a fellow members story of how he was able to keep sight of an evo's tail lights. If you have anything to say, post it and i'd be more than happy to post a reply. []Deace

I'm sorry this upset you so much... but i dont think i ever made a crack about the BP/BG chassis. I love the BP, so much so that I bought a 323 and swapped one in. But there is nothing wrong with stating facts. With equal driver skill, my evo IS faster than my BP powered 323, regardless of how tight the turns are. Maybe Fazdaboy's friend is an amazing driver and the evo's driver was an inept, ham-fisted bafoon. But using Occam's Razor, one can deduce that the most simple answer is generally the correct one...

Also, what is wrong about people dreaming about the evo? It was my dream car since the EVO IV was new and I'm sure other members on this board feel the same way. lets face the facts: it is a much faster (acceleration and handling) car stock to stock than any stock BP or BPT powered car. The evo, and STI alike, are both world renowned for a reason... they are good. Very good.

And who said anything about 14 sec 1/4 miles? I already have a Mines ECU and Vishnu exhaust. I could launch in second gear and get under a 14 sec 1/4 mile.

The way i see it, if you can still love your car after you know for a fact that it isn't the best at any one thing, then, only then are you NOT a ricer / boyracer / ****tard.

I'd say most of the people on this forum are more concerned with turns than the straights.
And I don't think your name was destroyed because of your posts and peoples reluctance to accept your words. The simple fact that you favor twisties more than straight lines gives you a big head start over alot of people in this section, at least in my mind.

Again, I don't see that as proof. I drive fast in corners, especially coming onto the freeway. I usually throw my car into them to see how I can do whether there's someone to race or not. If I had a car like that I would do it even more. And I think there are very few people who would buy that sort of car unless they liked to drive fast. Therefore, it could easily have been coincidence.

Evo 8= bad ass, escort, well its an escort

1. A top of the line sports car would be a corvette / viper
The evo / sti is simply a rally car, that just happens to be fast in the straights

2. I love my protege, i used to own a low 12 second 93 foxbody GT, and i sold it and kept my protege, whats that tell you?

This storys just a little to far out there for me to beleive

The only way I can race half of my friends is through the turns, that's why I have done more suspension mods than engine mods. It's a protege, yes they have potential just like everything else on the road, but it is all what you want out-of it. I have 2 other cars that would blow the doors of my pro, with a BPT or not, but the pro would kill my Z28, and the F150 through the turns, that's why I own it, aside from being a great reliable car. This is my second protege, my other DX was too limited for mods. Your the guy with the BPT, did you install that so you can handle better? hmmm, check your own **** before you tell others how they drive....

[95ProLeila]

any car with enough suspension mods could outcorner an evo (well, almost any)
