This is the man I would like to be in the car with on a track lol

Ferrari 458 Italia - Fernando Alonso on board (Fiorano track) - YouTube

 

I'd probably skip out and get a WRX.

 

it is a different track but that doesn't change the fact that there will be a bigger gap on a 13 mile track between a good driver and a pro driver when compared to the gap on a 1.8 mile track.

a pro driver isn't just a title. a pro driver makes a living as a driver so he spends much more time driving than an amateur experienced driver. I'm not the only one with that opinion. many people have commented on the fact that GM doesn't let professional drivers set the times.

 

yea, these new fast autos (like the one in the Evo) are always a big turn off for me because of track reliability and maintenance cost

 

Sucks for you, but yeah your mod list was umm...not what I would have chosen.

 

You could make a 1/4 mile road track and have a miata beat a viper because there is no room for the viper to use its huge power advantage. It would be total opposite on a larger high speed track.

I just don't think a pro driver in an unfamiliar car is going to make a big difference over a hugely experienced amateur on a track he has tons of experience on. If they were racing on unfamiliar tracks in unfamiliar cars or lots of them sure a pro would have a large advantage.

 

all cars have potential but when you do your own customizing you can sometimes do more damage than good

 

has anyone on here ever own a mitsubishi POS...omg id rather roll in a kia or a scion....just dont put a bunch of stupid crappy parts on your car just because some other idiot did it and you'll be fine...use good parts and have them installed properly...these guys that think they are mechanics just kill me...and then its always the cars fault haha..how about the guy that screwd with stuff and didnt know what he was doing

 

using your logic of Miata vs Viper on 1/4 mile track, are you suggesting that the FWD Cobalt SS won on the shorter track (VIR) because it's slightly quicker in the corners than the AWD Evo but on the longer track (Nurburgring), the Evo would gain the advantage back because its has more power and torque?

I'm not sure why you keep saying unfamiliar car. Do you think that time was the first time the driver has been in an Evo? Plus, how long is a car "unfamiliar" for? A pro driver only needs a few laps to get familiar. The Stig on Top Gear doesn't spend days with each car and he still posts quicker times than TG presenters, or most other drivers for that matter.

 

lol funniest thing is that he was just posting threads about his awesome sticker FEAR NO EVO!!!

 

Haha I remember that.

 

bet he has this greddy pos jerry rigged causing issues. and besides that a canned tune will not cut it.
greddy is junk. ask me how i know.

 

Blahblahblah since when is css all about everyone wanting or not wanting an evo?

 

It's probably due to the tmw short shifter listed in your mods. Get a TWM.

 

 

I wasn't meaning to be monetarily accurate There are lots of drool worthy cars in the area I live too. The most pimp is still the house with the helipad/heli though.

 

now your catchin on! im in closet about it but we all know a evo would smoke your *******

 

the evo is a better car overall no doubt. better platform for power and definately faster in the 1/4. as for long stretches, i think plenty of war stories have confirmed that an evo is slower than an SS/TC on an open stretch so i fail to see how the SS/TC couldn't beat an EVO on a track like the ring. that being said the EVO may have an advantage coming out of corners so who knows. both are very capable cars and are able to beat each other with the right circumstances.. bang for the buck.. cobalt... nicer car? evo.. i'll try both stock on forza 4 when i get it and let yas know! LOL

 

Meh, I would like a new Evo but honestly I do not want the payment.

OP, your list of fail mods is the reason your car sucks. Take it back to stock and then figure out if the problem is your car or your mods.

 

Cobalts cheaper because its cheaper.

 

House with a helipad? That's badass.

 

well lucky for you the AMS Drag/Texas Mile Evo is for sale!

AMS Evolution VIII Drag Car For Sale - YouTube

 

Does anybody care that I wanna sell my car for a GTI Mk6 lol

 

I really can't say I blame you, it was something I considered as well. They're nowhere near as fast as a Balt, but they're still sport, are very nice to drive, and are pretty comfortable as well.

 

that's not an EVO ^^^^

that's a huge turbo with a tube chassis and EVO body panels wrapped around it haha

sick car but it needs a front end lol
