lost to my first evo!!!

well i have raced a few evos and never lost from a roll, but holy **** was tonight different!!! i was kinda sorta playing with a rsx-s(not that entertaining), when outta no where comes this old guy in a black evo MR. im thinking, hmmm i have never raced a MR, ill probably lose but oh well. well i can hear that he is sitting in 3rd just waiting for me to go. so i pop it into third and launch it(oops the a/c is on!!!). anyway, once he takes off it is obvious from the sound of this thing that he is far from stock. from 80mph up to about 120mph, he pulled about 4-5 cars on me and would have kept going im sure, but we both decided there was no point in getting to stupid speeds since he had clearly won. i threw him the thumbs up and he waived back at me as i exited. felt kinda good to get killed by this guy since it was just such a bad ass car!

Yea, I lost to an evo in a similar situation and by about as many lengths. Stock ones can be beat on the hwy but some modded ones are badass.

I doubt it was third gear, I hear Evos fall flat on their face in 3rd.

Can't wait to finally get to drive one tomorrow. The only Mitsu dealer in Omaha finally got two in after about 4 1/2 months with none on the lot.

lol dude i'm not sure what kinda lancers you been hearin about... lol maybe the shitty ass O/Z Rally Ricer edition falls flat on its face in third, but the guy probably had a stage 1 or stage 2 Vishnu kit.... BTW a stage two gets you netting high 11's, (car and driver tested one as a matter of fact).... I kid around my city has a stage one and runs 12.4@113

Good loss. If he was stock, it would have been much closer. I couldn't believe how much power loss there was up high when I bought mine. All wheel drive sure loses a lot of power!

Thank goodness for Cams!
