Word to the wise... Do not try and race an Evo VIII!
So today i was leaving work and I drove the SS (usually drive the truck). As I got on the on ramp I saw this mitsibishi looking thing behind me. Also noticing the huge innercooler and funky hood i realized it was an Evo. Well as we both merged on the highway I was wide open, 13 psi boost, 3rd gear, 80 mph and still pulling hard when the Evo came around me and passed me like i was chained to a pole. The turbo, bov and exhaust was so friggin loud it made my ears ring!
So i was wondering, how much is an Evo VIII and how fast are they? It didnt look (or sound stock).
Hey i was impressed....

Fast.. (but obviously not fast enough)

evo's are fast and sexy cars. no other car can compete with it in it's class. an STi comes very close to it though. but i would choose an evo over it. can't wait till i get my fat raise next year. gonna think about selling my car and get me an evoIX.

Yea after he flew by me we slowed down and he was looking at my car. yea his was faster but I still think the SS looks alot better. He gave me the ol "thumbs up" so I dont know if it was a "hey im faster that you" or "nice car"

besides even if the evo is stock, it's gonna take more than cai, header, exhaust, pulley kit, etc. to beat an evo.
