EVOwned!
Last night I was driving home and got caught by a traffic light. The light turns green, as I was accelerating from the light I just kinda rolled into the throttle in 2nd gear and pulled away from traffic. As I'm settling down into cruise mode, I notice a set of headlights behind me work around a couple cars that were at the light with me. The car accelerates to catch up with me and a few seconds later goes flying by at 100+. When I realized it was an Evo, I gave a quick, "Awww, hail naw!", dropped it to 3rd and gave chase.
The guy slows down and I pull up next to him about 65. We gradually slow to 50 or so. Just as I downshift into 2nd he punches it. He gets a tiny jump, but it's a fairly even start. For a split second we're even, then the S starts to pull. I end up getting him by a length and a half or 2 before we had to brake for another light. He cuts from the left lane over to the right lane and makes a right on red. I was hoping he'd stop for a quick chat, I'd love to know what mods he had and what year it was (they all look the same to me), but he wouldn't open his window. As he was turning right the passenger waved (over the car). Guess the driver was too butthurt

You won't beat every ricer out there. Certainly not against turbo'd cars where the owner has put a little money into improving power. However, it is awesome to surprise someone with a stock car that they feel is so much faster than the S. Keep the car looking stock on the outside and enjoy all the "WTF is wrong with my car?" looks on their faces.
