I watched an evo get beat by an srt-4, i guess you really gotta know how to drive your car.....the evo didnt even really launch and the srt spun, but he won by half a car length....also watched a gsr beat a modded 6cyl stang.....
not a real interesting story, but a race none the less.....

ALso, i raced my scoobie against a stock vr-4...i have utec and turboback exhaust...i was at his door the whole way.....I had a really bad launch though.....

The whole advantage of the EVO would have been the launch. If your are doing a regular 5-60 street takeoff, the EVO suffers greatly (as seen on most performance tests. These 4 cyl. turbo engines need the high revs to get the boost. The SRT4 probably had 2 car lengths on him before he knew what happened. Nice race with the VR4

 

from a roll, im sure i could have taken the vr-4 with ease...i say this because we did some long runs where we would just floor it and i would slowly begin to pull on him...

 

I hate those neons......EVO is cool though

 

my friend has a evo, reads the forum, apparently the neon beats the evo in a straight line ??

 

funny thing, I just beat a modified SRT this weekend by like 10 car lengths.

Thats pretty amazing considering how fast a modified SRT can go. Ive seen them run low 13's around here in Dallas which is where your from so unless you have a supercharger or some sort.. I dont think you beat a SRT by 10 car lengths.

 

Even a supercharger wouldn't beat a stock SRT-4 by 10 car lenghts...

Assuming that every tenth of a second = 1 car length, that means the S2K has to run low 13s....possible for a stock S2k, but most results I've seen with a S/C have been utterly disappointing thus far (high13s when I KNOW they should be able to do low 13s)

 

EVO = cool
SRT = gay

No love for the neon here.
