Oh I'm sure they wouldnt hurt, but damn that **** is expensive on these DOHV cars.

ok ok evos are fast, blah blah blah we all know that. BUT!!! stock for stock the SS can hang or beat one from a roll. now this evo he raced had decent mods obviously, so the driver couldnt have been that great. that means that this story could be totally true. i love the evos, but stock from a roll they are fair game for us.
as for the guy that has a 2.9 pulley and other stuff, that loses to a SRT with just an intake... thats what happens when someone completely out drives you. there is no way that you should lose that race.

WTF are you talking about????? I raced him at about 35 mph there was no driving ability needed and i am a damn good driver. He said he only had a intake but he could of had more since he bought it used and has no real knowledge of cars. plus at higher elevation turbos don't lose as much power. I was getting 214 to the wheels uncorrected, at sea level w/ injectors i would have easily got 270 whp

The SRT started to fall behind as I started to gain on the EVO. My friend in the STi was gone, but I ended up passing the EVO. Next the EVO and I line up. Well of course he would kill me off the line, so we did another 15-20mph roll we took off and slowly but surely I pulled away from the EVO. Both the EVO and the SRT have a little work done maybe $500 in parts. But I am bone stock, It was great, I did'nt know my cobalt could go like that.
