If that was referring to me, I meant nothing close to saying an evo 9 is slow in stock form. I actually wanted an evo before the s2000 and I know what they're capable of. I just wanted to know if he lost by that much modded... or stock.
Evo's with mods get fast really quickly..
it wasnt really directed to anyone, its just that sometimes it amazes me that high 12 sec car(s) are not impressive anymore!? 12.9 is fast!

I love reading about how fast the Evo 9's are. I hear so much about it and when I race them, I lose them like they hit the brakes. It makes me feel like I've got the fastest car on the road but then I remember, I don't.

I love that....on the highway. If the weather is perfect, of the stars are aligned, if I took a shit before I got in the car. It just goes on and on.

... if you stopped by the side of the road, siphoned most of the gas out of the tank, removed the spare tire and jack, booted your passenger out of the car, raised the top... yes, and the hood has to be popped while you are doing this to avoid heat soak.
