This video is soOO S-W---eeEEET! (1st) ;)
- GTRJack on Monday, June 06, 2005

HFS that was close...that EVO always impresses me.
- ShortysTRM on Monday, June 06, 2005

GREAT races, great video, bad ass cars
- DeeJay5388 on Monday, June 06, 2005
|
looks like they were doing 180+mph...nice.
- DeeJay5388 on Monday, June 06, 2005
|
BTW I love how SRvidz always uses multiple angles. I would like to see more of that RX-7 from the beginning...there's an FD3 LS1 swap around here.
- ShortysTRM on Monday, June 06, 2005
|
I would have thought that the aerodynamics would have given away the victory but pure power makes it a good race.
- gobs3z on Monday, June 06, 2005

That may be the all time best highway run ever posted on this site. That was just a great video.
- Websteez on Monday, June 06, 2005

Wow. Great Race.
- rozone on Monday, June 06, 2005

wow, that was a great race. I have a lot of respect for that evo.

..........wow....

AHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
- Maciek69 on Monday, June 06, 2005
|
BUAHAHAHAHA! Once again, it is proven that "VETTES SUCK"!!!! Domestics blow. Haha, here's your domestic punk, it just got his ass handed to by a f***ing 4 banger. MUAHAHAHAHAH!!!! OMFG! HAHAHAHAHA
- Maciek69 on Monday, June 06, 2005
|
Does anyone know the top speed of that evo by chance.
- JJB107 on Monday, June 06, 2005
|
Wow so what the hell was that!?!? I love Evo's but he must have been scared because he definetly jumped the gun. Talk about getting a headstart. Awesome cars and a nice race, but it would have been nice to see an even start.
- 2jz Junkie on Monday, June 06, 2005

That Evo is kick ass.
- hpichris on Monday, June 06, 2005

maciek69...not only a 4-banger...a 4-door family hauling 4-banger
- DeeJay5388 on Monday, June 06, 2005
|
now that was a damn good race!!
- tehdra on Monday, June 06, 2005

Your a idiot Maciek. Yeah the evo is freakin fast, you act like it's not possible for a vette to win, vettes have more hp potential than any 4 banger. Obviously 8 cylinders has more potential that a stupid 4. I dont see 4 bangers running 4.4 quarter miles with over 7000 hp.
- chad21 on Monday, June 06, 2005
|
Okay guys some of you should slow down a bit. I am by no means a domestic fan. However, considering the money that was invested into that EVO to make that kind of power or any other import to make 600 hp its just not worth it when I can go into a showroom and buy a Vette for 50k and blow by 95% of the cars on the street. Of course I would never buy one.
- johnnyfeufs on Monday, June 06, 2005
|
^^^7000 hp? wtf? Anyway i would have thought that the vette would beat it since its lighter more aerodynamic and has more hp than the evo. Wierd.
- gennadyspi on Monday, June 06, 2005
|
That was a SWEET race! Love it!
- M3tor2nR on Monday, June 06, 2005
|
^^^MacieK69 proves how much of a tool he is on every single post on every single vid, so why does anyone even respond...very cool to see two tuned cars go at it...by the way I don't know what video some people were watching but I didn't see the EVO or the Vette obviously walk away from the other...looked pretty close to me to that point and I would have to put my money on the Vette above 180
- atilla0472 on Monday, June 06, 2005
|
Neither one walked but wouldnt you think the vette might of had it by half a car or a car length?
- gennadyspi on Monday, June 06, 2005
|
too close to call, and it was high speed, so the vette's pop up lights actually did make a difference in terms of drag. I would say neither one really win
- clee19821013 on Monday, June 06, 2005
|
Yeah man top fuel dragsters make over 7000 hp from 500ci V8, just saying V8's are better than a 4 banger
- chad21 on Monday, June 06, 2005
|
are you not familiar with american drag racing? hehe jk
- chad21 on Monday, June 06, 2005
|
gennadyspy, I hear what you are saying and I can only guess as to why it wouldn't have been a little faster...640 hp! maybe a little loss of traction even at those speeds...also I couldn't make out the speedo but some peopole on other forums were speculating 150mph for their speed, if so I think the Vette would have pulled on him a little...only SPECULATION!
- atilla0472 on Monday, June 06, 2005
|
Maciek69, you're a moron and by the way you talk im sure you are to young to even drive a car. Obviously you vette haters have never driven one because import or not it is a unbelievable car. If you would rather be seen driving a 4 door highschool boy looking car then fine, but there is no reason to rip apart vettes. BTW I own a C5 and love it!
- StangDriver5650 on Monday, June 06, 2005
|
The definition of a win is subjective. The two cars are a close race most definitely. To call the margin of victory a kill, or any word of the like, is to judge the results of a scientific experiment by testing the samples only once. Oh ya, The cars are also flippin fast.
- agatha on Monday, June 06, 2005
|
Im actually not that familiar with real dragsters...thats an insane amount of power!7000hp in a light car or relitively light, you could probably fly to the moon with that...hahah j/k. I say those two guys should give it another go and do runs at different speeds including off a stop.
- gennadyspi on Monday, June 06, 2005
|
Definitly no one walked in this race it was an even draw, i know if the speeds were even higher the vette wouldve pulled but you cant go any faster, just to risky as it is. Ive raced a 627rwhp Vette at LACR and it spun its tires all the way down the track and finished off at 122 mph with ZERO traction all the way till 122....
- karpetcm2 on Monday, June 06, 2005
|
^^^ my friend told me that all he can see is smoke coming off his tires from start to finish. I actually was ahead of him till he blew by my ass the last few yards like i was standing still. My eyes popped open when he blew by me once he get some kind of traction but still spinning it either way.
- karpetcm2 on Monday, June 06, 2005
|
Dang thats one close race. I would take either car, both awsome in there own way.
- Stepinfetch on Monday, June 06, 2005
|
Bob Norwood has a 4,000-hp Turbo-Fuel Inline 4 Integra, it's runs mid 5's in the 1/4 mile and he doesn't have to rebuild the engine after each run. Import drag racing performance is catching up to the V-8's since they are cut off from putting new technology to use. 7000hp is the limit and it's all about traction.
- gobs3z on Tuesday, June 07, 2005
|
WOW. that was one badass video. that was a really close race. props to both cars. wow great cars. that evo is soooooooo good. mmmm almost orgasmic. quite possibly the best video yet.... keep em comming SRvids.....
- ptwaustin on Tuesday, June 07, 2005

Best highway run definetly goes to my mate's candy pink e36 m3 at turkey versing diablo, 360, 355 and turbo. Watch that, and tell me about how slow they go. They are videos from 2002 but they are fun to watch. They start from 100km/h n upto 310. M3's are the way to go.

Love that Vette! Evo vs The Camero Please I want another of that one!!!!
- buddylee on Tuesday, June 07, 2005

I've said this before if straight line speed is only to be proven as the most important performance in a car is the most stupid. I doubt ANY car Chris's EVO has compeeted with could keep up with his lighter and AWD traction advantages around circuit track, not even close, at least on wet surface. Maybe the Z06 procharged could give Chris's EVO a bit competition, but I doubt it will stand a chance
- GTRJack on Tuesday, June 07, 2005
|
.. Chris's EVO is an excelent all around car. Fast on the straights, fast on track, fast in any condition and inviroment "on the streets". I'm not interested to start flame war domastics vs. imports but I want to make one thing clear. What I ment up there is street car vs. street car on track, so don't come with the excuses to compare Chris's EVO street machine with C5R GT race car OK?
- GTRJack on Tuesday, June 07, 2005
|
.. Please have common sense to compare street cars for street cars on the video. NOT street car vs. 7000 horsepower dragster or street car vs. Formula or GT race cars, everyone can see the differencies, its braindead to compare such! Stick to street car vs. street car or race car vs. race car or drag car vs. drag car in the same power range, this is what I call common sense and fair game, agree?!
- GTRJack on Tuesday, June 07, 2005
|
gobs3z, mm how does that import car make its power, oh yeah it is 4.8 litres customblock. Seems imports have realised there is no replacement for displacement. The evo and the vette were even, the vette would have won had it got the jump.
- shadowchaser on Tuesday, June 07, 2005
|
GTRJack, we all hopefully know that straight line performance is not all that makes a good car, but as this video is a straight line performance vid it does no good to speculate about on track performance...probably why nobody was talking about it. Not being nasty as I would love to see a video of these cars on a track, just trying to stay on topic. LOL
- atilla0472 on Tuesday, June 07, 2005
|
...also since when is an EVO lighter than a Z06...EVO approx. 32-3300 a Z06 3100lbs?
- atilla0472 on Tuesday, June 07, 2005
|
Jesus, looks like the Vette was doing close to 200 MPH toward the end there...
F'ing AWESOME video!
- Antian26 on Tuesday, June 07, 2005
|
my guess....the evo is going to spank the z06. Turbo vs. supercharger at it's best
- dougflash007 on Tuesday, June 07, 2005
|
If, I'm not mistaken. with the standard gearing. A 5speed evo in 5th gear at 7600 or 7800rpms will be doing about 175-176mph. I'm almost positive about this.
- allstokhonda on Tuesday, June 07, 2005
|
^^ atilla0472, not the Vette but all the others (Cobra, Camaro etc.) in the last few videos..
- GTRJack on Tuesday, June 07, 2005
|
As was said by pro racecar drivers in the past - "...winning is winning, even if it's by an inch"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Maciek69 on Tuesday, June 07, 2005
|
Your a dumbass gobs lol. Theres more technology in import drag racing motors than top fuel. How can you think a 4 banger is better than 8?? Obviously bigger is better for making horsepower. Use some common sense. Jesus christ your stupid. Top Fuel's are limited to 7000 cause anymore they wouldn't be going anywhere.
- chad21 on Tuesday, June 07, 2005
|
Don't lie either theres no 4 banger that can run in the 5's loser. and if it did it would have to rebuild after every round god i hate ignorant people
- chad21 on Tuesday, June 07, 2005
|
^^ chad21 he's not saying its better but its closing up against V8 dragster. Why bring up 7000 horsepower V8 up here? Nothing to do with this video. Its on the street, its not F&%#$ing top fuel dragracing, WHAT'S YOUR POINT?
- GTRJack on Tuesday, June 07, 2005
|
chad21, stop being ignorant and actually look up stuff before you post what you think you know. First off they don't have to rebuild the engine because it only runs on nitro methane part way down the track and for the staging and burnout it runs on alcohol, oh wow there isn't a top fuel dragster out there doing that is there.
- gobs3z on Tuesday, June 07, 2005
|
Top fuel cars could be running at 8-9000hp but regulations stop them from doing that so shut your mouth and read about stuff before you post what you think you know.
- gobs3z on Tuesday, June 07, 2005
|
whether you like it or not, vette is pretty fast around track.
- clee19821013 on Tuesday, June 07, 2005

PFFF , more "I`ll only race you from a roll racing" All that boils down to is whos got more money for parts.
- big_trq on Tuesday, June 07, 2005
|
"Bob Norwood has a 4,000-hp Turbo-Fuel Inline 4 Integra" - gobs3z. I went to his website. That car has a 5-Liter 4cyl engine. A current Top Fuel Engine makes almost twice the power yet is only about 50% larger. There's nothing any more amazing about that engine than a Top Fuel engine, it's just that his car is a 4cyl, just a really large one.
- InigoCO on Tuesday, June 07, 2005
|
I think the fact that he doesn't have to rebuild the engine after each run and that the fueling is controlled throughout each run to give different fuel at certain points of the track for the best time. NHRA doesn't allow this and their cars would be more reliable as well as more powerful if rules were loosened on technology.
- gobs3z on Tuesday, June 07, 2005
|
All i'm trying to say is 4s will never be better than 8's. I just feel like sometimes people who are in love with 4's think 8's suck. I won't say anywmore.
- chad21 on Tuesday, June 07, 2005
|
^ I tried explaining that too Chad.....THESE PPL ON RACING FLIX ARE 4 BANGER LOVERS....they dont care about anything we have to say. they thing the 4cyl with its lap top controlled computer is the best thing in the world.
- matt420_c20 on Tuesday, June 07, 2005
|
hmmm lets see.....why dont they allow the V8's to have the same technology they allow the stupid 4 bangers to have and it would be fair to compare them. But they basically limit the V8's to 60's technology...and they cant even run on full nitromethane.
- matt420_c20 on Tuesday, June 07, 2005
|
American's V8 are limited in pushing technology (cost, reliability issue? I don't know), not V8 in general, American's push rod V8 isn't the same thing as the V8 you get in Ferrari, BMW, or Mercedes.
- clee19821013 on Tuesday, June 07, 2005
|
evos still suck no matter how many vidoes are on here of them winning, EVOS=GAY
- djfolgerz1 on Tuesday, June 07, 2005
|
Well i never said a 4 is better than an 8 or vise-versa, i just found it really interesting how Bob Norwoods dragster runs and i'de assume you people would too. If it's faster in turns or a straight line than the other car(no matter cylinders or displacement) then it's the better car, even if it's a Geo Metro.
- gobs3z on Tuesday, June 07, 2005
|
Very nice! Both cars are AWESOME! I hate rolling starts, they were fairly even once they got rolling Props to the EVO for doing more with less that's for sure. Nice machine!
- TXTurbo930 on Tuesday, June 07, 2005
|
^^^MacieK69..."winninig is winning if only by an inch" looked to me like the EVO got out of it before the Vette passed, so who is a winner in that kind of situation...I say both of those guys are winners cus their cars are fast as s#%t! What do you drive again?
- atilla0472 on Tuesday, June 07, 2005
|
Bottom line imo EVO owners are people who can't afford anything better. Then they turn into a 4 banger lover then it's all over from there.
- chad21 on Tuesday, June 07, 2005
|
^ You're an idiot. I drive an E46 M3. I would completely own your bitch ass. Now eat dirt and die.
- Maciek69 on Tuesday, June 07, 2005
|
The 4000 HP 4 banger is just half of one of the 7000-8000 HP hemis. In addition, 5s are a long way off from 4s.
- f355_gts on Tuesday, June 07, 2005
|
^^^MacieK69 where do you live...I bet you really drive a Celica you pansy! How about some video evidence of your Bimmer and how fast it is???? Either give me some reason to pay attention to all the smack you talk or Shut the #$!# up!
- atilla0472 on Wednesday, June 08, 2005
|
evo weighs about 2800 or so.. maybe 3k... the z06 is at about 3400 lbs... so it has a weight disadvantage, but a aerodynamic advantage.
from what I understand the vette is nowhere at his limit, he is just testing out his new combo.
- LordofChaos on Wednesday, June 08, 2005
|
try about 3200

"keep up with his lighter and AWD traction advantages around circuit track"
Some of the dumbest comments of all time are assembled right here at racingflix. Most of them authored by smackie69.
- cleophus on Wednesday, June 08, 2005
|
^^ cleophus, what's so dumb about that? Explain?! Do you think Cobras or LS1 we've seen earlier loosing against Chris EVO on the straight line will have a chance against the EVO around circuit track? All the videos I've seen of Chris EVO compeet with I could only see one potensial street car which could keep up with Chris EVO is this procharged Z06..
- GTRJack on Wednesday, June 08, 2005
|
.. Chris EVO with such straight line power include full AWD traction is not an advantages around circuit track in any condition? Are you saying RWD Cobras and LS1 street cars we've seen compeet with Chris EVO will stand a chance against his car around track?! Remember its a street car damn it, its not full race spec RWD GT cars, ITS A STREET CAR you &%#$!!!
- GTRJack on Wednesday, June 08, 2005
|
What exactly is a procharger?
- InSaNe///M3 on Wednesday, June 08, 2005
|
^^^not all that up on everything EVO, but my impression was even the MR EVO was still around 3200lb...is it this EVO that is 2800lb or am I just wrong? I do know that the Z06 is a little over 3100...Procharger is a centrifugal supercharger
- atilla0472 on Wednesday, June 08, 2005
|
The MR evo weighs over 3200lbs. Thats right every mag I have says the same thing.
- chad21 on Wednesday, June 08, 2005
|
Only supercar off hand i can think of that weighs less than 3000 is the Saleen S7. And lotus's and nobles stuff like that.
- chad21 on Wednesday, June 08, 2005
|
On a dry circiut, AWD is NOT an advantage.
- cleophus on Thursday, June 09, 2005
|
^^ I'm not convinced with your few words, is that all you can say?
- GTRJack on Thursday, June 09, 2005
|
I respect the EVO but would much rather own that vette!
- leonnel on Thursday, June 09, 2005
|
Do you really think that the fastes road circuit cars ALL run RWD for shits and giggles? Do you understand that a tire can only provide and finite amount of traction, regardless of direction of force? Do you understand why that makes awd mostly an unsprung weight and rotating mass penalty? I bet not.
- cleophus on Friday, June 10, 2005
|
^^ cleophus, do you also understand the fastest road circuit RWD cars are either special built race cars or extreemly expensive (unnormal) street cars such as Enzo. These cars has technology, extreemly lowered to the ground, advanched earodynamic, wider body, LIGHT - built by carbon fiber and has hell ALOT wider (slicks) tires then normal street going road cars for everyday use..
- GTRJack on Friday, June 10, 2005
|
.. These race cars DON'T or rarely loose traction on their rear wheels around circuit track and that's why race cars is best set up as RWD, note only if the cars has all the elements abow and such cars are surtantly NOT normal street cars on daylie basis. Now my point was "normal" RWD (stock) street car and (stock) AWD street car under the same weight and power put together around circuit track..
- GTRJack on Friday, June 10, 2005
|
.. the RWD car does NOT have more traction advantages then an AWD would, "unless" the stock RWD car is lighter & has the rear wheel tires size of 315 or wider. A normal stock RWD street car with no slicks will only have the benifit on the straight line speed as soon as the car has gain back its traction after the acceleration include its easier to loose traction + cause oversteer around corners..
- GTRJack on Friday, June 10, 2005
|
.. which can be harder to find the maximum speed limits at the corner and corner exit acceleration when traction lost. A stock AWD street car will have the benifit of the traction more then a stock RWD street car (as I said only except if it is an RWD race car) if both are under the same weight, ballance and power range racing together around track..
- GTRJack on Friday, June 10, 2005
|
.. Its easier to find speed limits in a corner (if not too much understeer) with an AWD street car without being affraid to loose traction include it has the start grip traction advantages at the corner exit and acceleration. cleophus have you ever seen video of both stock 911 Turbo vs. Ferrari 360 Modena racing around track. They both have around the same power except the 360 is much lighter..
- GTRJack on Friday, June 10, 2005
|
.. even tho why does the stock AWD 911 Turbo win with hell alot of seconds ahead of the stock RWD 360 Modena or WHY/HOW can a stock EVO keep up with 360 Modena around track with less the power of 120 horses? If you look away the weight, ballance, earodynamic or the power do you see any other explonation then the AWD traction advantages?!?!
- GTRJack on Friday, June 10, 2005
|
.. RWD has the advantages over AWD on track "only" if the RWD car is transformed to special built race cars such as the GT or lighter weight street cars with rear tires size of 285 (or wider) include power more then 500 horses stock AS for example the Carrera GT or the Enzo. Excuse my english but its hard to explain shortly but I hope you do understand my point here..
- GTRJack on Friday, June 10, 2005
|
.. It is also maybe why we don't see many of the heavy stock Europeen sports car in production with less horsepower then 500 coz I guess they're pretty tired of watching twise less the power stock AWD car (with almost the same weight being) able to keep up with them on track..
- GTRJack on Friday, June 10, 2005
|
The c5 z06 has the same time around the 'ring as the 911 turbo... with less HP.
It's RWD. You were saying? Oh, are you the Skyline biased homo? Figures. AWD is not the best on a road course. What kind of skyline does it take to beat a stock z06 or viper? A highly modified one with more power than the vette or the viper. You're goddamned delusional.
- cleophus on Monday, June 13, 2005
|
^^ cleophus I'm not saying AWD is better on road course you moron! Didn't you read one word I said abow here? It all depends on the vehicles dynamic, chassis, weight, power range, road condition on the street or on the track. Push your dead brain head up and read once more my explonation. You were saying C5 Z06 pushes the same time on the Ring as the 911 Turbo..
- GTRJack on Monday, June 13, 2005
|
.. well that doesn't surprise me one bit. How much less power does the C5 Z06 has compared to 911 Turbo, 15bhp? Such small power range doesn't mean shit. Lets either compare the weight differencies between them, now this is alot more interesting numbers in differencies and how hell can C5 Z05 pushes the same time at the Ring? If my logic tells me the C5 Z06 should be hell alot more seconds ahead..
- GTRJack on Monday, June 13, 2005
|
.. of the 911 Turbo, right? Street cars for street cars if under 500 horsepower stock the AWD car has traction advantages, do you have any other clever explonation cleaphus? I guess not? If, give me a clear explonation will ya? A stock Skyline GTR has only 280bhp so I'm not interested in comparing C5 Z06. It's alot different cars and power range it would be stupid to compare such..
- GTRJack on Monday, June 13, 2005
|
.. Lets rather put them together under the same power range on track and see what happen? If I'm not mistaken the C5 Z06 does Ring time in 7.56, WOW an 7 years older almost twise less the power Skyline does it in 7.59, OH and don't forget RWD NSX with also almost twise less the power does exactly the same time 7:56...
- GTRJack on Monday, June 13, 2005
|
.. Take notice the Skyline GTR is alot more different vehicle then the rest of the other full time 50/50 AWD cars such as the EVO for instent. The Skyline GTR has RWD engine layout totally different from the EVO which has FWD engine layout, and the same goes for the chassis. The Skyline GTR has computerized controlled chassis to give the benefit of both RWD and AWD advantages when needed..
- GTRJack on Monday, June 13, 2005
|
.. which means it uses RWD (on the straight line) when you want it and AWD advantages when you need. Take a look at this video link cleaphus and maybe it can shutt you up for a few seconds: http://www.racingflix.com/getvideo.asp?v=425
- GTRJack on Monday, June 13, 2005
|
.. SO what's your point really?!?!
- GTRJack on Monday, June 13, 2005
|
cleaphus I got another profe video for you. Look at the last video being posted Silvia and EVO6 battle and you will understand exactly my point..
- GTRJack on Monday, June 13, 2005
|
Mackie does that lame shit for the reactions. Yeah hes just as lame as the shit he pulls. Yes, Top fuel dragsters have 7,500hp out of 8 cylinders(as appossed to 4 cylinders)... for the guy who questioned the 7,000hp figure...
- Burnout* on Tuesday, June 14, 2005
|
"Street cars for street cars if under 500 horsepower stock the AWD car has traction advantages"
So 500 HP is some magic number that for some reason gives 2wd cars the advantage in traction? Care to provide any physics for that? Also, those times for the Skyline and NSX were ON GODDAMN R COMPUND TIRES! You ARE A TOOL. YOU HAVEN'T THE SMALLEST CLUE AS TO WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT YOU HOMO SK
- cleophus on Wednesday, June 15, 2005
|
^^ You don't get my point do you? It was just an example for stock cars moron. RWD car will always "in the end" be the best choice for track use under surcamtancies which is lower weight, earodynamic, better total ballance, unnormal fat/WIDE rear tires and power range usually over 500 horses. Such RWD cars is normally on racing setup or NOT normal street cars such as the Enzo OR the Carrera GT..
- GTRJack on Wednesday, June 15, 2005
|
.. My point was (stock) RWD street cars under 500 horses don't usually have rear tires size more then 265 or 275 which I mean is NOT wide enough on 2 wheels to hold the traction if weight is more then 1400 kg comparing to an AWD (stock) car under the same weight and power will NOT be better on track against the AWD traction advantages. NOTE its on sercumstancies, DO YOU UNDERSTAND MY POINT NOW?!

Think logic cleophus or maybe you are too stupid..

.. AND yeah did you forget how much less power and how much more weight the Skyline has in comparisation. It wouldn't play much different on compund tires or not if you look at the weight and the power differencies, who is the TOOL here?

Uhh, given the significant weight penalty, the tire compound has MORE to do with it. Also, 500 HP is not some magic number. C5 z06, 405HP 295s in the rear. That is totally blowing up your assertion on its own. I could go on and on about how flawed your logic is, but you are too dense to understand. By all means, continue to freak out and miss the point.

^^ If you look abow cleaphus i'm not the one to freak out, YOU are! I'm just trying to explain common sense but you seems to ignore my point or simply don't understand my bad english. I wasn't talking about C5 in particulary, I WAS talking about RWD (stock) cars in generally, NOT all. Christ scroll up and read all my comments again and you might understand my little point..

.. OK cleaphus smart boy. Let me give you one another example and maybe you might have the inteligent to understand my little point. Let's put together 2 stock street car together on track. Let's put the 350Z vs. the EVO VIII, they both weight the same and the both have the same power as stock. WHY the hell does the EVO VIII win EVERY time over the 350Z on track?
- GTRJack on Wednesday, June 15, 2005

.. Is it maybe becouse the EVO VIII stock has a bit better traction then the 350Z stock. Let me putt it another way now. Lets say the RWD 350Z is 700bhp on racing setup on compund slicks with rear tires up to the size of 325 and weighs 1300kg vs. 700bhp AWD EVO VIII on the same racing setup. IT IS NOW the RWD will be better on track coz you get better power suply on 2 wheels and HARDER to loose..

.. traction on ALOT wider rear wheels from the stock. My point was normally stock street car for stock street car under the same weight and power around less then 500 horses and generally RWD stock car heavier then 1400kg with NOT enough wide rear tires will have traction issue compared to AWD better traction advantages will be better on track UNLESS you change RWD with racing setup, more power..
- GTRJack on Wednesday, June 15, 2005

.. and ALOT wider rear tires, That's all dude. I'm saying mostly stock RWD, NOT all. In another word AWD street car vs. RWD street car under the same weight and power less then 400 or 500 horses the AWD will naturally win, BUT if AWD racing car vs. RWD racing car with still the same weight and power it is NOW the RWD will naturally win at this point. DO YOU UNDERSTAND NOW?

Hey stangdriver5650 your an idiot did you not know that a stock evo can beat a stock corvette c5 head to head up to one hundred and fifteen miles per hour. the only potential that an 8 cylinder has over a four cylinder is to guzzle more gas

Where the mods stop and ends for the EVO. It just begins for the vette.
If the Zo6 was modded out like the EVO. It would blow the doors off of it. Period

that evo probably had more money into it that the vette cost it you dumped all that into the vette or shit just went twin turboed with lingenfelter heads it would have toyed with that evo you cant put a 600hp 4 banger up against a 650hp v8 its all about power to weight ratio so its obvious what will win and that evo should have pulled harder than that in the long top end run it wouldnt touch that

I have owned a C5, 03 cobra with 550 hp and i also own a modded EvoMR...i can tell ya that a highly modded V8 will almost always take a 4cy on the high top end freeway runs..but the all out performance of the Evo can not be matched by any C5,C6, or Cobra..i do love all these cars though.
